For your first question, do you have Yahoo Messenger? If so, when you sign in, sign in as 'Invisible.' Then, everyone will see you as invisible, even on your email account.\nFor your second question, I don't really know. Sorry.

Use Tor. It'll keep you annoymous online. (The web site will still show an IP, but it will be the wrong one.)\n\nhttp://tor.eff.org/

Unless you're prepared to backhack the entire system and get banned from it, its more than likely you arent going to. But if you want it to appear like you havent logged in in awhile but you wanna know whats happening, then select notify me by email for everything.

Hmm, not quite sure of the problem...\n\nIs it that the login box has gone or that you have been told that your not logged in (even though you just did it a few seconds ago!)?\n\nReload the site, I guess.\n\nNot that I want to be techy, but, if you haven't got cookies enabled, the site will always think who's this then, another stranger. You'll be thinking, for the beep beep time "I am ..." and have to login again.\n\nSorry ;~{

You can't. That's the point of it being 'invisible'.\n\nThat person can contact you if they want, and then you'll know they're on-line (that is - if you're not invisible...)

This happens to me as well, and I hate it because I want to play games, NOT CHAT!\n\nSo whenever I play, I have Yahoo IM open, but remain invisible. \nIn Messenger, click on "Preferences", and select "Privacy". Uncheck the "Allow Yahoo web sites to show when I'm online."

It may be a 'false indication' if they're hiding from you.\nSometimes it even looks like someone is online when they've signed out hours before. They drop off when you try to write them.\n\nTheoretically, if they're offline, you can't see them... That is, unless they are standing in your line of sight.

You can hide your profile in the members directory by choosing "edit account information" on the "all of Yahoo" link.\n\nSelect the check box that hides your profile.

In your away settings, set it to invisible. You can be online but you will not appear so.

If you share a computer with more than one user, then logging out of your screen name will prevent someone else from accessing your account while you are not at the computer.

I believe tracing is illegal. You might want to set up a new account or change your password to a very hard one. Report hacking to Yahoo and see what they say. If you're using wireless internet, then people may be seeing what info you are sending. Try to always log in secured. Or lock your internet. If its public,then I don't know what to say.

By right clicking on that person's IM and clicking on Stealth settings and then making yourself invisible. Just be sure not to delete them or else they will know you're online... (This will only make you invisible to that individual person)

If you're set as invisable it make you invisable to all users, but some sites that Yahoo has, such as members.yahoo.com and other sites, will still show you online, with an option to view your webcam.\n\nA good suggestion is to go to http://members.yahoo.com and change the settings so that they don't see you online.
