You know how you're supposed to be able to do this now? How do you do it?

  • i would also very much like to know this

    whiterussian | 5 Jun '09, 16:46 | X
  • just delete them as a contact

    Jordan_229_2 | 5 Jun '09, 16:47 | X
    • Can't.

      The person I want to block is a potential roommate for the coming year. I'll delete her eventually, if we don't end up rooming together, but until then that's a no-go.

      alley @Jordan_229_2 | 5 Jun '09, 16:50 | X
      • then why do you want to block her on chat?

        Jordan_229_2 @alley | 5 Jun '09, 18:04 | X
        • a lot of people, friends or no, are just a pain to talk to though

        • I don't want to have to chat to her.

          I'd prefer not to have her as a roommate; I just might not have much choice if I can't find anyone better.

          alley @Jordan_229_2 | 5 Jun '09, 18:10 | X
  • i think

    if you add her to a certain list of friends on facebook, you can always make yourself appear offline to that list. hope this helps!

    • this is true

      justanothersheeldz @cherrycola | 5 Jun '09, 18:11 | X
    • Where?

      It's not under privacy settings.

      alley @cherrycola | 5 Jun '09, 18:15 | X
      • mmkay

        in facebook chat, go to "friend lists" then create a new list for this girl and whoever else you don't want to see you online.

        then, once you drag them into the list or click edit and do it from there, you can go offline to that list. hope i explained that clearly!

        • I know how to do lists

          but I don't know how you do the whole going offline to a certain list bit. I know how to not display certain lists in chat, but I don't see where the option to block a certain list is.

          alley @cherrycola | 5 Jun '09, 18:28 | X
          • mmkay

            in the chat window directly across from the list title, there's a little green button. when you scroll over it, it says "go offline." click that and it should do the trick. i'm not 100% sure that will block her from being able to IM you, but you'll at least appear offline.

            • Aha

              Yes, thanks.

              alley @cherrycola | 5 Jun '09, 18:34 | X
    • this is what I came here to post

      thetrees @cherrycola | 5 Jun '09, 18:16 | X
