A way to see if you've been blocked in wlm!!! by simsgenius on 03-04-2006 at 11:53 PM

I tested this out a few times with a friend earlier. What you do is you go to someone who is offline who you think blocked you. Send them a message saying whatever you want. Then wait about 10 seconds and if a message pops up saying:

  This message was not sent because Offline Instant Messaging is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.


then this means they've blocked you. I have tried it a few times so I'm pretty sure this works (i also tried it without blocking so the excuse isn't true).

If this doesn't pop up then they havn't blocked you. I have a few people to apologise to for not believing they had computer problems now and 1 or 2 people to shout at for pretending to have computer problems lol.

Thanks for reading and if you don't believe me, try it (just don't let microsoft find out ;) ).

i am an invitee.

i do realise this could backfire (about 1/5 of my list (which has over 200 people on) is currently blocked lol) so i'll report it. How do i do it? on the official msn site?

you could by going Help -> Send Feedback. That's how I've been reporting the bugs I'm finding. I've noticed that they reply within 48 hours.

I tried it and got the message, yet i know for a fact i havent blocked myself using windows messenger. Tried it a few times with different offline contacts, was about 50/50 but i still dont believe.

Sorry.
