Yup, I was just about to mention that the main reason I want to be able to see it is so that I can see what the other persons' status is & yes I could just have a look at the icon in the contacts list but, this is easier. Lol.
Hmm, well I've applied a custom theme -
AlienGUIse theme & I think some customization done by the theme might have caused the font of the info that is supposed to be shown in that area to have changed to white colour, *I think*. But ya, you still think uninstalling & re-installing the program might work or maybe try something else?
Thanks a lot for the help..
