How do you hide when you're online - I'm sure it can be done but can't find it. And I'm being stalked by someone from my past who keeps popping up for chats everytime I go online:)

Bottom right hand corner - picture of person - click on it and it gives you the option to show as offline

There is a little box thing on the right bottom corner, which says you can have a red spot, a green spot or something else (I forget which) which will allow you to not appear on line.

I dont ever log off so no one knows if I'm there or not - pmsl

Why dont you just ignore them? you do me - pmsl

And it aint me stalking you - ))))

pmsl Pat - it's someone I was at school with and haven't seen since. Really nice and don't want to hurt their feelings but I don't want to chat with them *every* time I go on.

Jac:)) I didn't even know about that chat thing until up popped Pat and then Lynda and then my sister in law lol

Gypsy

Gypsy Report 8 May 2008 22:44

Yeah I know the feeling, I have to do that on msn or my nieces bombard me, and I can't do anything else!

Isn't there a way of not showing your online as well instead of having to press individual dots and pictures?

Jac

Jac Report 8 May 2008 22:49

You can block someone I think - depends on whether you want to speak to the person sometimes, often, seldom or never - the choice is yours love!!

Uggers Report 8 May 2008 22:51

nooo Jac - I thought you could hide your online/offline status but I'm no longer sure...

I've blocked loads of people:)

Jac

Jac Report 8 May 2008 22:54

Well just stay online all the time, and be selective as to who you talk to, and how often you want to talk to them- would that not be possible?

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 8 May 2008 22:57

What do you mean you've blocked loads of people? Are you telling us you have legions of people just begging to be your friend and you need to block some? I didn't realise you saw me as a stalker lol

No Jac cos I switch my pc off when I'm not here:))) And I'm back at work now.

Sue have you found the pop up chat thing yet? Oh I blocked a load of people from seeing my profile when I joined. Some from my dubious past, some I went to school with who are friends of my friends, even a couple of people off here. Yes I'm in great demand lol. Have you not noticed some people will add anyone - I have mates with 150+ friends and I've never liked that many people in the whole of my life...

I have notice it David, but I haven't had time to really explore it. I invited my son to be my friend so I can message him etc. while he's in East Timor and he told me definately no. He didn't want me to read his stuff on Facebook. Wonder why?
