Hi, I'd dispute what Chris says.

I just got a crack to run two msn clients at the same time, and logged in with different accounts - A and B.

Results:

When B blocked A,  account A could no longer see B's display picture in the list of contacts / network. Instead, B's display picture was changed to the default grey msn box.

This happened every single time, with both accounts, so I would conclude that when a user is blocked, not only can they not see the blockee's online status, but the display picture is also blocked.

If this is the case, it's a huge oversight because I don't think it's right that a user should be able to tell when they're blocked....but I really believe that you can...which is sad in a way because I was pretty gutted that this person chose not to talk to me anymore ( But hey...

Firstly, you don't need to "crack" Messenger to run two WLM clients at once, it's a feature of Messenger Plus! Live, the piece of software who's forums you're using .

Secondly I have to back up with Chris said, I just tested it with my brother and girlfriend and they both blocked me and I saw no change in their display pictures.

There is NO way to tell whether you've been blocked, nothing is 100% reliable and even if you did know there's nothing you can do about it....and confronting someone who's obviously blocked you for a reason is only likely to make things worse .
