ichat logs on but all buddies appear ...

ichat used to work fine but about a week ago when i would log on it would log on fine but then it says every body is offline. its been doing this for about a week now. the text for every single buddy appears in the light gray font and noone of them have green red or yellow dots next to them. i already tried clicking some of them to see if they just needed to be highlighted but it didnt work. if anybody couls help me id appreciate it because i hate using aim express
