That In Yahoo messenger, that people who added you years ago, can still find you, even if you delete them! :blink:

When you delete them it just removes them off of your list, not theirs. They have to remove you, I believe.

Wow, I didn't know that! But if you're set up to only receive messages from friends and you take them off your list, shouldn't that make them unable to message you? Hmmmm. I wonder!

 

[BrattyMeg]

you can appear permanently offline to them

I use MSN and I block certain people instead of deleting them, and then I'm just never "online" in their world again. Unless, of course, I unblock them. Never used Yahoo. Does it have a similar feature?

 

[Becca Bonneville]

Yeap Joan, you can be perm off line to them, so they never will see you are on.

Yes, I've done this in MSN as well LOL

But I don't know about Yahoo! I prefer MSN anyway.

Jac, yes, it's you I'm trying to block

Hahahaha...yup..... :thumbup:

 

[meganmecrazy]

so, in order to get a new name on for the messenger do you have to get a whole new e-mail address? Or has Yahoo messenger changed?? Back when I signed up (in 2002) you HAD to have a yahoo e-mail address and use that and that was your username.

At one time, there was also a site where you could go and "remove yourself" from their list! I'm not sure if it's still around on the internet but you could also see who had you on their list and then remove yourself from those lists that you didn't want to be on!
