i have several people on my buddy list.  most have a red dot by their names, and two have no dot at all.  yesterday, several of the dots were green.  i'm confused.

does the dot (red or green) indicate whether or not someone is online?

if so, why are there two with no dot?

i'm so confused!  lol

Jessyka,

That's exactly what the colored dots mean (green means online, red means offline)

There is an option on Privacy Settings to not let people see your online status, if buddy has selected that, then you won't see any dot.

Funny thing is, they probably don't even know they have it set like that LOL!
