  • Re: User not recognized as session member; icon remains gray after joining session

    Thanks, Merrie. I just noticed another item, which may be related. Sometimes when I create a new search session and invite other users, the new session does not appear on the invitee's drop-down menu unless they either sign out of SearchTogether and sign back in, or exit and re-launch IE. In case it's relevant, I should add that I've been experimenting with SearchTogether on computers which do not have OutLook Express configured, so when SearchTogether launches OE to send an invitation

  • Re: Add Users

    I'm not a Microsoft person, just a (newbie) user, but maybe I can help. In order for other users to show up under the "Add Contacts" tab so you can add them to your session, they must be in your Windows Live contacts network. To invite them, go to windows.live.com and sign in. Click the "Add people" option on the right-hand portion of the screen. From there you can send invitations. After the people accept, go back to SearchTogether and use the "Refresh Contacts"

  • User not recognized as session member; icon remains gray after joining session

    I’m having an intermittent problem in which a user who joins a search session isn’t recognized as a member of the session. Here’s the scenario: 1) User1 creates a search session and invites User2. On User1's Contacts pane, User1's icon is green and User2's icon is gray. 2) User 2 joins the session. On User2's Contacts pane, User1 and User2's icons are both green. But on User1's Contacts pane, User2's icon remains gray instead of turning green. 3) User1 does a split search
