Buddy FAQ

I can’t add buddies

If you’re signed in to Meebo Messenger and you want to add buddies from another network, make certain that you have connected your other account to your Meebo ID. For example, if I have the meebo ID “Seth,” I also need to sign on to my account on AIM “Seth-AIM” (or whatever your user name is) in order to add AIM buddies.

There is an infrequent bug where the Buddy List doesn’t display when you sign on. If you are seeing this behavior:

  2. Clear your Cache.
  3. Refresh your browser using ctrl-F5.
  4. Sign back in to Meebo Messenger.

If this doesn't help:

I have signed into meebo, but all my buddies appear offline

Try refreshing the browser page and signing in again. If this does not work, your buddies may just all be offline.

I have some buddy screen names appearing under meebo rooms or recent rooms group. How did it get that way?

The Meebo Rooms and Recent Rooms group acts like other Buddy List groups. You may have inadvertently moved a buddy into a Meebo Rooms group when adding the screen name. When adding a buddy, make sure the entry value entered in the Group drop down menu is not Meebo Rooms or Recent Rooms.

You can move Meebo Messenger users that already have buddy screen names in the Meebo Rooms or Recent Rooms groups to other groups. The following example shows how to move Friend2 from the recent rooms group.

  1. Right click on the buddy screen name you wish to move. A context menu will appear.
  2. Select Remove [your buddy's screen name]
  3. Add Buddy to new Group (see Adding a buddy.

What time zone is displayed when I hover the mouse over my buddy on the Buddy List.

It should be your buddy's time zone.
