A working block checking idea (by pr0xy, later in the thread) by Moo on 09-17-2004 at 12:05 AM
I am wondering if you are blocked and you open a convo with the one you suspect of blocking you, can you see his display pic? If so... I have just thought of a way to check for blocks!!!
RE: Block checking by ddunk on 09-17-2004 at 12:11 AM
You can't open a convo with the person if they've blocked you. They appear offline and therefore, you can't see if they have a DP or not.
Also, if you were to do the /msg xxxx@xxxx.com you wouldn't see their status or DP. Nice try though

you can open a convo!!! Click on send an instant message...!
Actions -> Send an Instant Message...

Same as the /msg command, yet I had a friend block me and I did it, and still saw his DP... might work, but obviously if they don't have DP it won't work.
RE: Block checking by Moo on 09-17-2004 at 12:18 AM
thats the only drawback...
RE: Block checking by :No-Frost: on 09-17-2004 at 12:22 AM
Just the other day i was in a convo and mi ex girlfriend was on it (I had her blocked because it's to annoying) so when I talk she saw the things that I was writen and I saw what she was writen...
But the DP doesnt shows up...
RE: Block checking by Moo on 09-17-2004 at 12:25 AM
One can only imagine 
EDIT: tried it with Pr0xy... didnt work... 
RE: Block checking by Pr0xY on 09-17-2004 at 12:31 AM
It didn't work for me. But I think what does work is to:
*have StuffPlug-NG Installed...
*have the option enalbed that lets you know when someone opens a conversation with you.
*Set your nick name to something else...
*find the person you suspect is blocking you...
*block and unblock them about 3 times
*and the average person will click them to see who is signing on. Since you changed your nick, they wont know its you untill they open the conversation window and see your email, and by that time you already have a pop up from stuffplug-ng telling you they opened up a conversation window.
Well there it is, test my idea out and see if it works for you too.
RE: Block checking by Moo on 09-17-2004 at 12:35 AM
That's crazy! So crazy it just might work!
EDIT: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!

I have mine checked too, and yet sometimes when blocked people sign on, a pop up doesn't come up telling me. Is this a bug in messenger? because I used to get toast pop ups when a blocked user signed online.

i dont have "show when contact opens conversation window" on stuffplug
if you guys have all these options, mine and chronos msns fucked...because ours doesnt show when a blocked contact signs in
RE: A working block checking idea (by pr0xy, later in the thread) by Chrono on 09-17-2004 at 01:28 AM
the conclusion is: it works sometimes, randomly depending on the user, hence it isnt a reliable method... too bad 
it was a nice idea.
