O.P. Appearing Offline?
Hi,

Can anybody tell me if you can appear offline to certain contacts and online to others or is it just offline or offline to everybody?

thanks for any help.

Papa.

You can't appear as a certain status to a limited number of users. As Th3rmal suggested you can just block your contact but unlike Appear Offline, you will not be able to send them messages (but they will be able to send you messages).

IIRC there was a certain patch (maybe Mess.Patch) that allowed you to talk to blocked contacts, but i may be horribly wrong :P

I thought the point of blocking people was so they couldn't talk to you, not the other way around ^o)

I thought you could still receive messages (if they tried to send an offline message to you), maybe not.

thanks for the replies, blocking them isn't an option in this case as they are not people i just don't want to talk to full stop, just when i am chatting to certain people i don't really want to be disturbed by others on my contact list. i know yahoo messenger alllows you to appear online and offline to each individual contact so i thought maybe i was missing something and live let you do this too.

never mind i can just appear offline to everybody and still chat to my contact, just don't think you can use webcam when you are appearing offline.

thanks again all.
