    The red X NEVER goes away!!! It is part of the button design. When working offline is enabled, the button is highlighted as in the second screenshot.

                ONLINE                                  OFFLINE

    It will also say working offline in the status bar:

    If Working offline is enabled, click the button *once* and wait a few minutes for it to reconnect.

    This is not working for me. The red X will not go away, even though I’m clicking on that button, so I cannot switch to online. Many other people on this thread seem to be having the same problem.

    What happens when you try to switch it off? Any error messages?

    Can you post a screenshot of the button?
