Event Log invasion of my privacy by The Rigsby on 08-16-2007 at 03:27 PM
Can anybody tell me how i can prevent,disable or stop the event log from showing when i have been on line????
I like my privacy and don't need people knowing when i have been on line.
Any help would be good.

Appear Offline?
Really there is no way to disable others from seeing when you have been online. Aside from blocking them.

If your talking about your own event viewer ,just ad yourself to you contact list and go to Plus!>>Preferences>>Messenger>>event loging
and filter yourself out..
If you want yourself not to display on someone else's event logger
than you can't.. or do like matty says

It is other peoples logs i don't want to appear on so if blocking everyone is the only answer,pain in the arse that it is , then blocking it will have to be unless any one knows of another way.

then either talk to people whilst appearing offline or just change you're status to online when you want

If i have been on msn at 4am thats my business and nobody else's. There should not be a record of when i have been on if i don't want there to be and thats were the problem lies. To me its as bad as tracking cookies or spyware.

if you add people on messenger, then you've accepted that these people can see you when your online/change your status. all plus does it make a log of these changes.
if you don't want people seeing when you're online, either block (and delete?) them, sign in appearing offline, or don't bother signing it at all
