question about the "appear offline" status by StoryBoutAGirl on 04-02-2006 at 02:01 AM
I know in MSN Messenger 7.5 you can "appear offline" but is there a way to do this and be able to still message someone? I'm told there is but no one seems to know how. I go in appear offline and I can still click on a contact and the window comes up but the typing part is greyed out. Is there a plugin or anything to get around this?

Offline Messaging rocks! haha... I dunno... that way a bunch of stupid people you don't want to talk to you don't talk to you. haha... But talking to blocked contacts is cool too.

Thanks for all the reply's. I couldn't get stuffplug to work. I'm thinking about Windows Live Messenger. I have Windows Live Mail and love it. But I want to know if I try the Messenger and don't like it can I revert back to Messenger 7.5?? I don't want to use it unless I can if I don't like it.

Yes you can revert back to 7.5. But I will say this, once you try offline messaging, your hooked on it (well that's what happened to me anyway)

I think offline messaging should be renamed "Invisible" - because that's pretty much what you are when messaging people offline.. then again you'd get that conflicting with "Appear Offline" which is also invisibility to some extent..
