Yahoo messenger invisible hack - How to find if someone is really offline!
Posted by webstuffscan on August 15th, 2007
Yahoo messenger allows stealth mode using which you can set your online status as “offline” even when you are logged in to yahoo messenger. People use it to avoid chat when they are busy or to block out spam messages.
1. But there is a hack which allows you to see whether someone is really offline or not. The easiest way is to directly acess the online status image using the URL - http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=userid&m=g&t=2 (replace userid with the actual user id).
2. The second way is to start a voice chat with the userid you want to check. If you don’t get an error it indicates that the user is indeed online, but in invisible mode. This works only in previous versions of Yahoo messenger.
3. The only method which seems to work on latest versions of Yahoo messenger is the IMEnviornment hack. First send a message to the user id and then immediately change the IMEnviorment. Now if the guy is really offline, you will get a message “waiting for your friend to load the theme” message. If he is online, you will just get a blank page!

That IMEnviornment hack may work but, here’s a big problem with it that no one ever mentions. If your buddy is offline, yeah, you get the “waiting for your friend to load the theme” message. Here’s the catch. When they finally do get online and you or they open the chat window, they immediatly get the ‘invitation’ to load the environment. Heck you can only tell them you accidently hit that one time and get away with it.
I’d like to see a hack that works reliably and doesn’t give you away in the process.
And no, the online invisibility checkers are not reliable at all. One will say my buddy is invisible while another will say he’s offline. So which do you believe??

What if your friend is on “Messenger for the Web”? How do you track them then? I logged into my messenger account via the Messenger for the Web and then tried step #1 (listed above) and it told me that I’m Not Online Right Now…
