Privacy Question by Hex on 11-28-2011 at 10:50 PM
I'm using WLM 2009 and when I click contact list clean-up or options/privacy/see who has added you to their contact list I notice some of the people I have added don't show up. I asked them when they're online if I'm on their contact list and they say yes. Is it possible to change your Privacy settings to not show up when someone does a contact list check? If so how do you do it? Or are those people just lying to me?

This is because the way Microsoft has changed how the Reverse List works. This change is already years and years old.
It is also indicated in the contact list clean-up tool of Messenger Plus! that it is not accurate anymore:

quote:Oh I see thank you CookieRevised. I thought there was a way to not show up on the reverse list I had no idea about the changes Microsoft made over the years. I just found it weird that everyone would show up except for those three people. Either way thanks for your help.
