Currently the amount of topics about the contact list clean-up is about 2/3 per week. So maybe if I make a full information post people can just refer to it.

• Currently the contact list clean-up has a feature that allows you to see if a contact has you on their list.

Can the 'Has You' column be removed, Patchou?

It's wasting people's time and is unnecessary having a broken feature in Plus!

But when the server issue is fixed, it's VERY useful to have as it's an easy way of looking through the Reverse list.....so it's a bit pointless to remove it as I'm guessing it's only temporarily broken

I can understand leaving it, until the servers are fixed.. But what if this isn't a bug, and they're intentionally blocked by Microsoft? Then there's no reason to be able to see them. I was kind of wondering if it was more about how often you use MSN, though. It seems as if the newer people I have added do not have me on their lists, yet they obviously do. (I know a few of them do. Like my gf does, etc.) It's just lame, either way, and I really hope it gets fixed.... But I'm not counting on anything.

I seriously doubt that it's been intentionally blocked by Microsoft as it's a feature of Windows Live Messenger and it's not just something they'd disable with no announcement and in an existing build

Yes, it will only be newer people as it's only a recent problem with the data not synching correctly

i'm having the same problem with one of my close friends and I don't wanna be so pathetic and ask especially if it is cos of this problem. But it isn't just them, its a few people so I'm thinking they couldnt of deleted me, she also starts conversations with me sometimes. The person also does not show up in the MSN > tools > options > Privacy > view of who is in my contact list and is also not in my msn hotmail contacts. Does this mean Messenger Plus! could have changed all this or does this sound like the person deleted me?

Added information:

-After finding this out, i deleted the person then was going to re-add tommorow, however the person talked to me today (after I did the deletion) and started the conversation. It started with just the persons email address as their display name until it said 'this person is not in your contacts list, do you want to add them?' so I clicked yes. I can't remember if their normal displayed name changed before or after I clicked add to my contact list but according to plus and messenger im still not in their contact list. I wish my brain wasn't making this a big deal

How about something like this which can be updated by Patchou?

Ok now that we know that the "Has You" is not working in the Contact List Clean-Up is there a different way one can find out if someone still have them on their list or not? I know it's a long shot, but it's worth asking...Thanks

Other then just asking them; nope not possible.

Thanks Bro!

you can try writing as a username something related to your friend's account.

For example, let's say you want to check if random.email@hotmail.com has you in his list. 

Then write as a status: "Hey random.email@hotmail.com, what's up?" and sign in several times. Or try to write something that will catch his/her eye.

Try this several times for a couple of days. If your contact doesn't start a conversation with you, he/she probably doesn't have you in his list anymore or doesn't sign in anymore or is plain ignoring you.



Though I have a question, do you think someone who deletes you would necessarly block you? Because I'm suspecting that someone in my list has deleted me (he used to talk to me almost everyday) and now I see him online but he doesn't start a conversation with me... I don't want to get his attention with the trick mentionned above but I just need personal opinions on that

It is (was?) possible to do this on WLM 2009 - it asks you when you delete a contact, if you want to remove them from Hotmail as well, and if you want to block them.  As of 2011, I haven't actually deleted anyone, so I'm not sure if it still asks.  But it'll only offer to appear offline, rather than block (but in this case, it is the appearing offline that we are looking at, since you can still see they're online)...
