appearing offline/people appearing offline

hello!

sometimes (every day, multiple times) when i message people i'll appear offline, and when people message me they'll appear offline, and i have to block + unblock to be able to actually talk to them. i've tried everything to fix this and absolutely nothing works. what could be the problem

This is an known issue, and I've seen a few of my friends appear this way too. I'm not sure what's the cause of the problem.

This is a problem , Especially while playing Black ops 2 on MP..

We get kicked out of game every time it does this..

It has been taking US steam users OFFLINE
[Usually takes a min or so to come back online] today has been very bad with LONG delays..

I have used and tested the NON beta and the BETA of steam with same results.

The issue has been happening more frequently the last week

But that doesn't explain why this has been happening for a week + now..

HERES HOPING FOR IT TO BE FIXED

I've had this same problem happen to me before, it becomes a bit aggravating because people don't see me online so they can't reach me out (for games, chat or whatever)

is there a permanent fix for this yet? can valve fix their already existent stuff before forcing stuff like big picture on us? i have to block and unblock pretty much everyone on my friends list before i can talk to them

[luke22422]
