Online now present when offline, What's going on? Options

[thespianball22]

Ok, so I love the little custom online now icons that people have so graciously created for MySpace to replace that little ugly default one. I have used 3 custom icons: one on my page, one on my roommate's page, and one on my roommate's girlfriend's page. I have noticed an error though. The icons are present all the time, even when we're offline. I used the same code for each of our pages. The only difference is the URL because they are different icons. Here's the code I'm using:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css"> table table table td.text div img {visibility:hidden;} table table table td.text div { background-image:url("http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/thespianball22/Ect/imhere3yb.gif"); background-repeat:no-repeat;} able table table td.text table table div img {visibility:visible;} table table table td.text table table div { background-image:none;} </style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

I am hosting each image at Photobucket instead of the server they were originally on.

Can anyone tell me why the online now icon appears even when we're offline? Thank you!

Yes, that is common with customized online icons. So I recommend you just use the default.

Bummer....why does it work for other people though?

It doesn't work for other people, well not that I know of. Unless there's some code that I don't know about.

From what I understand of the custom online images, they cover up the old one whether it's there or not. Meaning: it’s always visible regardless of your online status.

Yeah, that's what I heard to. I've been looking for a code that doesn't cover it up.
