go to my first post (there are links there)

and read this whole thread, since there are limitations when it comes to block checking.

also refer to cookie's post to find why openconvo notifier's are not as reliable with msn 7.

There is no plugin to tell you if you have been blocked now. It's gone, it used to be in MD. You can use block checker websites, but as it has been said they are not accurate. It has worked for me sometimes, but not always.

Try the one on:  blockchecker.msnfanatic.com

As for the open window plugin, you can download Messenger Discovery 3 or the plug-in for Msg Plus, but be warned it is not efficient with MSN 7 due to changes in the protocol. The user must be smart enough to distinguish a true "open" notifier from a random DP request which MSN automatically does.

Search for the plug-in on this board, the thread with it should be here.

EDIT - just check the link posted above.

And when you appear offline, your client doesn't request for DP's so   that's out of the question.
yes, but it seems that it is the only way you "can" check if somebody blocked you. (unless you actually go and look at their list at their home or something 8-)). you can't really call it the worst way, since the bug in msn's protocol has been fixed there is no other way to check blocking.

also, it is true when you sign in offline OR change your status to offline the client does not request the dp.

so if you want to check if somebody blocked you, you both have to be online at the time and it is best that you have a display picture. also, the person has to open your window. (there is a possibility of getting a notification when the client requests your dp, this has been already discussed in this thread though). i know it is a very limited way of detection, but there is no other way.

this option is still in md :wink:
check their feature's page

also, the reason why the sites which determine whether or not you have been blocked sometimes work, is because the contact who has blocked you has the "Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages" option left unchecked.

Another funny little thing that I was trying out. If a user is online on your list and you open a conversation with them and download their DP and can clearly see it.

Then they go offline, and you keep the window open and if you notice that their DP changes, it means you've been blocked. This has worked for me and has happened. I don't think this can work if the user is Appearing Offline, but then again I wasn't sure at that time if they were Appearing Offline or Blocking me.

But that was a weird enough situation, and it's a cool way to notice.
