Notifications for Blocked Contacts by shox on 09-11-2005 at 02:02 AM

I was wondering whether Popup Notification and/or Sound Notification are possible for blocked contacts. Thanks.

Yeah that would be great. I've done a search on the forum (I've seen it posted here a couple times) but I'm pretty sure there isn't a plugin or workaround for this.

Maybe someone else might be able to help you a little more...

For when they login? I don't think that's possible. Also they are blocked because you don't want to talk to them :-/.

Yeah, but sometimes it's nice to know when they log in, just in case you forget their blocked and feel like unblocking them... Or if you wanna tell somebody that might be talking to both of you to not say anything if your online or not...

Personally I don't like notifications with blocked contatts... but those are some of the uses that other people find useful.

Go to Tools then Options and then Privacy, and you can view who you have blocked, but you will only be able to see if they are online so long as you unblock them first, of course, hope this helps. :) ;)

we know about that option.. what they want is a popup to appear when they log on, just like it does when someone you havent blocked comes online

Yeah, but that's kinda a hastle... I mean if he doesn't wanna turn on and off the notification for that contact based on their blocked status... He just wants all blocked contacts in general to get notifications.

RE: Notifications for Blocked Contacts by qgroessl on 09-11-2005 at 11:24 PM

But for all contacts without having to go to each contact and set a notification?... How do you do that?


RE: Notifications for Blocked Contacts by toddy on 09-11-2005 at 11:28 PM

plus > preferences > Notifications > popup defaults


RE: Notifications for Blocked Contacts by qgroessl on 09-11-2005 at 11:34 PM

I only see

Events that will generate  notifications notifications for all your contacts:

Contact Goes Offline

Contact changes his/her name

Custom sign in notifications when contact sign-in
Enable this option if you disabled "Display alerts when contacts come online" in the messenger options and want to be notified only for specific contacts.


I have all of them checked.

O_O i always thought that the last option showed Notifications for all your contacts

well you can always just set a Notification for the blocked contact(s) since u don't normally have many, so it won't be that hard
RE: Notifications for Blocked Contacts by qgroessl on 09-11-2005 at 11:43 PM

Yeah... but it would be alot easier if somebody would make a plug-in, since like I mentioned before.. it would be a bit of a hastle to set a notification every time you blocked somebody.
