How to delete a contact from a favorite list?

If I delete someone off my "Friends" contact list, can they still see whether or not I'm online?

  • Question: I recently DELETED a contact from my "Friends" list. Can this contact still "see" when I'm logged onto or "avaiable" on Yahoo! Messenger? I did NOT place the contact on my "ignore" list. I simply deleted him/her from my "Friends" list. As a result I can no longer see whether he or she is online. So again, my question is, provided they have NOT deleted ME from their contact list, can they still see whether or not I'm online? Thanks in advance for your response.

  • Answer:

    Yes, someone can still see when you are online. Sometimes even when you block someone, they might be able to see your active smiley on an email you sent or on your profile or somewhere else. Being invisible to all is probably your best bet if you dont want someone to see if you are online. You can still write but people won't know you are online.

yes, but you can add them on your ignore list if you want. by the way, you can't add anyone on your ignore list if you don't remove them first. In YM, go to Messenger and then Privacy Options and then Ignore list and type in their Yahoo ID. if you share the same friends on YM, he or she may or may not figure it out that you blocked them. Being invisible, anyone can still IM but it doesn't mean they know you are online. But if you put them on the ignore list, next time they log in, they won't be able to see you online. I know this from a friend who got blocked by a friend who had us both on her list. He kept asking me if she was online because to him, he saw that she was offline.

Yes unless you signed in as invisible to everyone.
