Yahoo Pingbox Offline Problem

I encountered a problem on Yahoo Pingbox wherein I am shown as offline even if I am online on YM (Yahoo Messanger)

Luckily, I saw a great answer and fix on the Yahoo Blog.

How to go online on Yahoo Pingbox:

1. Sign out on from YM, and from Yahoo's main page at http://www.yahoo.com/ (would open on new tab/window).
   
2. Sign in on Yahoo's main page.
   
3. After signing in, click this link http://edit.presence.msg.yahoo.com/edit/config/edit_identity?.set=1&.opi=0 (would open on new tab/window). Clicking the link would make you be shown as online on all the Yahoo sites on public.
   
4. You would only see a blank white page after clicking the link. Don't worry. That's okay.
5. Sign in on YM.
   

If you have already installed your Pingbox on your site, and your site is open, just click refresh and everything should be fine.
