Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Wednesday evening (last night) while playing a game I received two charms/gifts from a friend. I didn't see that they were online so I went to my friends on my profile page and saw that they hadn't been online for an hour prior to the gifts showing up. Found this very weird. This isn't the first time that odd things have happened on my account. Has anyone else had this happen or had something unusual happen to your account?

Could it be they was online but set for "offline" ?

Happens regularly. Under Settings ---> Privacy & Sharing tab you can turn off your visibility making it seem as though you're not online. Many folks do this.

Yes I know this but when you go to your profile and look at your friends it says online 59 minutes ago. If offline on settings why would it show that they were online 59 minutes ago? This doesn't make sense to me. Thank Michael B17 and k9 for your responses. Much appreciated :)

Can't say for sure but, perhaps they toggled to offline just 59 minutes earlier. I never go offline so I wonder if you must be online when going to a party, for example. If so, one might go back offline after the party ends?

I've gone offline before and forgot to change it and have gone to party's so not sure on that. Was hoping Samantha or Dougaroo would be able to shed some light on this. Other things have happened to that were really freaky. Wish I would have thought to take a picture of it, so never reported it.

I've seen partys they want everyone to be offline so noone else can come to the party or see your online in a party.

It goes by when they last appeared online. Receiving gifts from a friend while they're appearing offline is normal.

Hi SilverMoon. Yes, I have received gifts from Offline friends. I will log on, send gifts, and almost instantly receive gifts back even though my friends are showing as Offline. This tells me that they are actually online but have changed their setting to Offline in order to play in Stealth mode. Stealth mode doesn't prevent you from sending gifts. It prevents you from receiving party invitations, from being located by your friends, and from being whispered to unless you are in the same room. All appreciated while playing a hard core Texas Hold 'em game or Dragon Mahjong.
Your Friends List may show the last time your Friend was online prior to switching to stealth mode. CW automatically updates every day to show the last time your friend was actually on CW. To explain.. if I select Offline stealth mode and I never change it, yet I log onto CW every single day, my friends will see me Offline but will see my last date online change every single day. So if you see friends who havent been online for months, they truly have not logged onto CW for months and are not simply using stealth mode. Mz Elsa explained this to me although not in so many words. I hope this information helps.
