Plus! Replaces the name by adding a name over the original. The (Blocked) tag is part of the MSN protocol. Therefore, I think this would be illegal.
erm, that is just the same... instead of adding a customized name over the original, now it has to add the real status over the (blocked). That's what Mnjul was talking about.

Great idea ![:D](images/smilies/msn_grin.gif) ![:D](images/smilies/msn_grin.gif)
So I don't have to appear offline to see their statuses.

Great idea cookie. Would be easy to implement in plus! Patchou has already changed the "(busy)" Type things with personilized status now he just has to make their caption their real status. Very simple, Very good.

It's about contacts that you block yourself, not about contacts blocking you... If that is what you mean, then there are plenty reasons to know the real status of the contacts you've blocked. One big reason would be: many users groupblock contacts, so the user don't have to speak to those contacts if he/she is online (this doesn't mean the contacts are annoying or something, for example, I use groupblocking a lot when I'm testing something so I don't bother my contacts). It would be very interesting for the user to know if his blocked contacts are online or not, so he can unblock someone to speak to him/her. I know you can see this also in the eventswindow or in the contacts properties, but all in all, in this way you don't need todo extra things or search a log to know if one of your blocked contacts is online. Other reasons can be read in this thread ![;)](images/smilies/msn_wink.gif)

Yes you could, if you like the look of that option and if you don't use groups. But even then, you can't see if a contact is busy, away, on the phone, etc...
