you will get confirmation when someone add you as his/her friend, if you accept them, the icon will appear but if you reject them the icon won't appear. if you want them on your list you have to re-ask him too, so it's not automatically appear on your list when you accept their request.

Trust no one.... Just delete them... If this is bothering you, go to messenger preferences/ignore     at the top check ignore anyone who is not on my friend list....\n\nAlso you can go to your account and check (do not show when I am online)

On your Yahoo messenger "control panel", select "messenger", then "preferences", then "ignore list". When you get to the ignore list, select "ignore anyone who is not on my messenger list", then click "apply", then "ok". \n\nFrom that point, only people who already are on your messenger list will be able to im you.\n\nHave a nice day.

you go to your profile listings, beneath your profile names in yahoo messenger, it says, get 360-- find the settings and read them, set them to make the change. Cannot post all here- but if you read the page, it will explain:)

In MSN Messenger: No, if you block someone they can't see if you are online the next time you log in. So it could be the same for Yahoo

You can ignore the user that bothers you. If the ignore function doesn't seem to work, it's because your ignore list is already full (it only can contain 50 user names). In your Y! Messenger go to Messenger/Preferences/Ignore List and Remove a name or two to make more room for the user name that you want to ignore.

I have been using yahoo for a while now and that is the fist I have heard of that issue, so I will research this further and post another response. SOON\n\nThis sounds like a Windows Skinning program is the cause, such as alienguise or windowblinds.\n\nIf you use windowblinds, you need to select yahoo! messenger in the per application settings, and disable skinning of it, it may be listed as yahoo! messenger or ypager.\n\nIf it's another program, look for similar settings, if they don't exist, you might have to disable the skinning program to use messenger. \n\nThe only possibility I can possibly see is you are useing Windowsblinds

Some people may have their avatars disabled or may have not created there avatars yet. Or maybe, they have disabled them, in that case you wont be able to see their avatars.\n\nYou can disable/enable ur display image by going to Messenger->Preference->Display Image, and there you can click on relevant checkboxes.\n\nHope this helped

they may also have their "online" status masked. That's something that your messenger won't be able to see or update.

It's a privacy setting in Yahoo Messenger.\n\nStart up Yahoo Messenger and click Messenger > Privacy Options > and UNcheck the little box that says "Allow Yahoo! Websites to show when I am online" > click the Apply button, then click OK.\n\nThat's it!

Typically the person who you are sending messages have blocked all incoming messages so that could be a reason.\n\nSometimes I can see people's messages but they cannot see mine in the chat room. Its called "Lost Cookie Syndrome". All you have to do is logout of Yahoo, re-login and enter the room.\n\nIf the same is happening in the Instant message, then you will have to re-install the messenger.\n\nThe last and final culprit is the Firewall. Do check your firewall administrator if you are in office. If you are using from your PC, then check the Firewall settings of XP.\n\n.:Fishie:.

The different versions other people are using are probably older versions of Yahoo! Messenger. You can also download the old version from http://www.oldversion.com/ but then you wouldn't be able to use any of the new features either.\n\nThere's no way to tell if a user has you on ignore other than the fact that he won't be responding to any of your messages. Either way, that person probably doesn't want to be bothered at the time, so just wait for him to send you a message. Or send an email if it's something important and see if he responds.

Try clicking on the "arrow" beside your friends list categories.  Maybe you have accidentally hidden them.

you can set it on AIM to where it only let's ppl on ur buddy list IM you. I've had AIM forever and I've never gotten a virus just from having the program. Plus Yahoo! Messenger bugs out at times, I've never had that problem with AIM. It just depends on personal preference
