if it wasn't for plus, i never would of solved this blocking case i love the event log window quote:Now with the scheduler, i set a date on when to unblock her, LOL RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-01-2003 at 10:07 PM
Errr..... doesn't that happen also if a contact has changed his/her phone number, etc offline and then comes online??? RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by lylesback2 on 11-03-2003 at 05:52 AM yes. but i confronted her about it RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Fraisie on 11-03-2003 at 11:54 AM Ouuuh... never thought of that before... Well Patchou, you did a feature you didnt even know of ! RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by bach_m on 11-03-2003 at 12:19 PM WOW! its almost taht block checker he refuses to ad but this is kinda hard to figure out! RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Stigmata on 11-03-2003 at 12:37 PM so when some one has blocked you there phone number changes? does the contact maneger still work when the person has blocked u? RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Wabz on 11-03-2003 at 02:59 PM If someone blocks you, you cant see there phone number anymore whereas if they were just offline you can still see there phone numbers RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by KnightieBoy on 11-08-2003 at 07:34 PM

RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by dotNorma on 11-08-2003 at 07:53 PM Not Many people care to put there phone numbers online so I dought it is the usefullest thing in the world...

quote: People put fake ones or some stupid messages in them though... RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by billywoods1 on 11-08-2003 at 09:48 PM Hmm. Let me ask you - if someone blocks you, you check for a phone number and you don't find one. How do you know whether or not they had one anyway? They might have blocked you... they might never have added one... they might have deleted it and gone offline... and so on. RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-08-2003 at 09:56 PM
Read the (confusing) thread again: RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by BooGhost on 11-08-2003 at 09:57 PM but... wait till that person is online again, if her/his pohne number s appear again it's very likely that he/she might of blocked you RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-08-2003 at 10:12 PM
because... you can't edit the phonenumbers when you're not signed RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by s7a5 on 11-09-2003 at 07:20 AM great discovery i hope patchou wont fix this little bug RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-09-2003 at 05:11 PM its not a bug RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by lylesback2 on 11-09-2003 at 07:15 PM it's ment to do that... and it's great for finding people who blocked you RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-13-2003 at 05:13 AM
Ok, this is how it all happens: RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by ling_vob on 11-13-2003 at 06:45 AM and there you have it, the answers to all lifes little secrets thank you for clearin that up for us cookie..despite the fact i prob have more questions now then i did to begin with lol RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by WallIsland on 11-15-2003 at 05:55 AM so they need to have phone numbers listed, but what if they don't? i still kind of not getting this. RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Tochjo on 11-15-2003 at 09:10 AM
quote:Then you can't use this trick to check for blockings, because it won't show up in the Event Log Viewer. I think CookieRevised made it quite clear in his post, about three posts above this one. RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Starkade on 11-15-2003 at 05:30 PM I'm just wondering if the newest MSN plus tells you if other people have blocked you... I have a person on my list that I didn't think would block me, but it says (Blocked) beside their name, and then their status... I haven't blocked them on accident, I checked that... So I'm wondering if they have blocked me?!?! Hmm... Is there anyway to find out?? Besides this phone number hoopla?? RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Tochjo on 11-15-2003 at 05:43 PM
quote:Patchou said he would never include a feature like that, because he considers it to be a breach of privacy. Therefore it is unlikely it has got something to do with Plus!. Try talking to him and see if he can see your message. In that case, he hasn't blocked you. Another possibility is that he has just added (Blocked) behind his name, for some strange reason. RE: RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by lylesback2 on 11-15-2003 at 05:58 PM
quote:even if they just put a "." in it... aslong as you right click and "Make a phone call" is in bold and black, and if you click properties and it says Home, Work, or Mobile is showen, then it will work (before your blocked) also... if you see the contact log off and his phone numbers change at the exact same time.. then it's kinda easy to put 2 and 2 together. if they just come online the sametime as there numbers change, then you can only assume they unblocked you.

Hmm.. strange.. the phone thingie isn't working here RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Tochjo on 11-15-2003 at 06:05 PM Did she fill in her phone numbers? RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by lylesback2 on 11-15-2003 at 06:15 PM right click her name and look under properties... see if she has anything filled out RE: RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by lylesback2 on 11-15-2003 at 06:17 PM
quote:no, it doesn't tell you if people have blocked you... you need to look in event logger and use the trick to figure it out on your own... and you will need to be online at the time they block you... if they have blocked you before you logon, or before Plus! was installed, then you will not find out... theres a block checker for that. RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Not Quite Jim on 11-15-2003 at 06:19 PM You gotta admit, it's pretty pointless using this method if it doesn't always work when you could just use an online block checker like the one on mess.be...

quote: Nice one .. no she didn't RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Tochjo on 11-15-2003 at 06:41 PM So then it doesn't work RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-15-2003 at 06:45 PM read the first couple of posts in this thread if you got questions and how-to's, it's all explained I think. And no, it isn't meant as a block-checker, It's just something that happens sometime when someone (un)block you/change phonenumber RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Tochjo on 11-15-2003 at 06:46 PM So basically, what CookieRevised is trying to say, is that it could be used as a block checker in some special circumstances, though it wasn't designed for it. RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 11-15-2003 at 07:38 PM
NO RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Tochjo on 11-15-2003 at 07:44 PM Whatever RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by BooGhost on 11-15-2003 at 07:47 PM

Does this nolonger work? I haven't seen any of these messages in months. And when I've asked people to block me who have phone numbers added, they just go offline, no "contact may have modified his/her phone number to: (none)". RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by CookieRevised on 04-19-2004 at 10:06 PM Well, this "block-checking" works only if phonenumbers are reconized correctly and I tested this again and the thing is, phonenumber changes aren't detected anymore it seems... If I change the phonenumber on 1 account of mine, the other doesn't reconize this and still shows the old one!!... very strange if you ask me... is this a possible bug in the "new" protocol? RE: RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by xlife on 04-19-2004 at 10:22 PM
quote:Yes quite possibly, it's been like this for a while, at least a week or so. Quite a serious problem if you nolonger want your phone numbers displayed for whatever reason. RE: Thank you Plus! the block checker by Wabz on 04-19-2004 at 10:29 PM
