Then, how do you know whether he/she is offline or online? Just follow these simple steps carefully. It's really simple. There are many ways of finding people who are online but yet invisible.I'm going to describe many of those methods by this post As all we knows that Yahoo has a Stealth settings feature that lets you choose the people who see you as online and offline (Invisible Mode). But may be you want to figure out these peoples really online or offline.
First Method: Doodle Method
1. Double Click on the user whose status you want to check.
2. A message window will open.
3. Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle.
4. The last step and the most important step. After loading the Doodle IMVironment, there will be two possibilities.
a) If the user is offline, the Doodle area will show “waiting for your friend to load Doodle” continuously. See figure below
b)If the user is online (in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on connection speed), you will get a blank page.see figure below
So the user is online!There is a counter attack of this trick:Go to Messenger>>Preferences>>Messages and now uncheck Enable IMVironments. Now this trick is nullified!
Second Method: Voice Chat
1. Double Click on the user whose status you want to check.
2. Click on “Voice” icon on the toolbar, or select “Contact” menu and select “Enable Voice Chat” .
3. The deciding part… there are 2 possible results:
a) If the user is offline, you will get this message: “Internal server error. Cannot obtain voice token to start voice chat.” If the user is invisible (actually online), you will see the Voice Toolbar.
Third Method: Conference Invitation
1. Right Click on the user whose status you want to check.
2. When the menu appears, select Invite to Conference.
3. A window will appear. See at the right pane, the username you selected will be there. Now, click Invite.
4. The deciding part… there are 2 possible results:
a) If the user is offline, you will get this message: “None of the users in the invite list are available to join the conference.
Please try at a later time.”If the user is invisible, you will get a window similar saying: “You are now logged into voice conference - "
Fourth Method: From Website
There are in fact many sites I found that is able to detect invisible users on Yahoo Messenger. But I’ll just list few in case one goes down, at least you still have the other as backup. These are great sites I found that we can use to find peoples in yahoo messenger invisible mode.

Fifth Method: OPI Method
But the only drawback is that u can use it only for ppl who are using stealth mode.. not invisible mode..

Sixth Method: Buddy Spy
1. Get Buddy Spy from
http://www.buddy-spy.com
2. Go to configure and enter your login details.
3. Now go to Buddy Spy option and enter the username you want to track. You can also check multiple ids also. Not only Buddy Spy tells the status of Chat but also Room Chat and WebCamera status of that user also!
4. You can edit other options through Scan Options menu.Now Have a great chatting!
(Note: Buddy Spy will automatically logout you of yahoo! messenger if running since yahoo! messenger supports only 1 login. To enable multi logins you need a Multi login patch for Yahoo! Messenger. Search Google for them.)
