My Xbox live account appears offline to my friends, even when I'm connected to the Internet, and I am online. The thing is; I did not choose to appear offline, and even when I go to check if it is activated, it isn't, and it says that I was last seen 3 or so minutes ago on whatever game I'm currently playing. I have the ability to be in parties and games with my friends, but they can't see that I'm online, or invite me to anything.
