jasper65 6 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 could anyone give me some advice on how to stop someone seeing when I am on line and sending messages through MSN? this particular lad lives on the pc and whenever I connect up a message pops up in the corner saying HI , the thing I can't understand is I havn't got him listed on my Buddies so I can't find his name to block or stop him from seeing when I'm on line, what I can't understand is how he knows when I'm connected? I'm not moaning about it as I like talking on Messenger but this lad pops up through out the day and even when the kids are on the PC, any advice from the computer Boffins would be apreciated .

john b 38 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 He's not on your buddies list, but you're on his I suggest you add him, then you can block him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pointer28 1 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 You can still talk to people when you appear offline. I always initially log on as appear offline/invisible and then go fully online if the coast is clear. Some days you're just not in the mood to talk to certain people.

jasper65 6 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 When he pops up to talk to you look on the top bar and it will have a little green msn logo with a red circle by it you can block him there...or take the easy way and just tell him to f**k off jay Nice one Jay . its nearly come to that a few times mate but I must be becoming soft in my old age . Thanks all for the help, I'm now Invisable! Hopefully he'll get the message now and f**k off .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
