hey, we are still fairly new to the site and still getting to grips with it so i will apologize incase this is a really daft question...
can anyone shed some light on this, we have friends on here, but whenever they are online, they dont come up on our instant chat thing at the bottom of the page, whilst we show up on thiers...is there mabye a setting somewhere we havent ticked or something? Its just we dont want people thinking that we are ignoring them.
Thanks folks x

By Instant Chat we presume you mean Instant Messenger ?
If they can see you and not you them, then it's almost certainly something within settings.
Look to your left and you'll see :: Settings , click it
Within the resulting window, select the "Privacy" tab
or http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/members/my-privacy.html will take you straight there

I have to say have tried the IM chat for a while and its frankly very very poor ! . It is constantly saying people are on-line when they arent, the status seems to reflect Idle when they are in fact active and vice versa .
If you access someones profile it seems to fragment the chat somehow where one part of the conversation is in one window and the other in the one you were on before .
As I said frankly finding it very ineffective and very irritating , clearly its a sub prog of the main prog but in all fairness the technology that used IRC/ICQ and other stuff from way back was far less advanced then it is now so I'm very surprised this part of Sh is so very poor .
Obvilusly understand the new chat portal is always in development but would suggest that it ( the IM) system is taken down until further developments produce a system with abit more of a confidcence factor or you get rid of it alltogether .
As I said in theory avery simple add on to the main prtal but in reality very ineffective and "glitchy"
Just calling it as I see it folks

There could be a number of reasons for this.
If you show on their IM, then it's not normally a problem with your settings. Although it does take a while for friends to appear in the IM listing as this requires SH to run an update file at their end.
Most likely is that their settings are not letting your ID show.
Default here should be:-
Settings > Privacy > Messenger > Show IM status friends > Save.
