Instruction
1. The best and reliable way to check whether there is a person in the invisible mode - to check its number (UIN) via the website. An example of such website is the resource - www.kanicq.ru. This website, as well as similar to it, has a direct connection with the ICQ server. For check of the exact status of the user it is only necessary to enter its identification number (UIN) in the field intended for this purpose then to click ""Check"". The website automatically sends request for the server of ICQ and literally in several seconds gives you the true status of the user set at the moment (speed of reply to the request depends, generally from the speed of your Internet connection).
2. There is one more way which in certain cases also allows to learn the true status of the user in ICQ (verifiability depends on the ICQ client installed on the computer of the checked person).
This way consists in new search of the person by base and the subsequent request of its status.
For this purpose it is necessary to come into the menu of the ICQ client, to select a line ""Add/find users in it"". Before you the window of search of contacts in which it is necessary to enter data, necessary for search of the specific person will open (the easiest to copy its number (uin) and to insert into an input line ""Look for on ICQ#""). It is also necessary to check the line ""Only Online"" then to click ""Search"". If the user is connected, you will see a line with its number. Also for persuasiveness it is possible to open a context menu of contact (right click) in which further to select a line ""Check the status of contact"". In response to this request the program will issue you the notification on the status of contact.
