O.P. Huh?  Blocking a group, not possible anymore?!??
Hi,
I used "Block Group" often. eg on work-contacts in the weekend or on holidays. But that option I canīt find anymore!!!
Is it removed?
Can it be a new requirement for Msgr+ to add please?

Thanks for the feedback

It was removed from the right click menu of the contact list, but the command is still there, as mwe99 says.

Patchou has said he is looking for somewhere to put the command back :)

ok tx 4 the quick reply. (Y)
Is it correct the option is not available via the mouse anymore?
And where do you type the line... in a chat window? What if no-one is online or have to use a contact where you donīt want to make a typo and wake em up :-)?

cheers

if you type it in a chat window for example:

/blockgrp Friends

it will then block them but they won't see the message

Yea you need to type it into a conversation and if you don't have any contacts online, you can add a BOT like BOT2K3  or Offline Messenger

That sounds cool! I did add the offline msgr, but its offline (all mirrors I tried)?
But the bot2k3 is working. Thanks! Great tips!:o)

Well if all else fails add yourself and block the group via that :)

The best bet may be to find a bot of use offline messenger as suggested. It doesn't work with mobile contacts but if you're really desperate you could create a second account and use polygamy

You cannot start a conversation with yourself. You can, however, click Actions > Start conversation in the contact list and type the email address of your contacts that isn't online at the moment :)
