I have a few different groups set up - one of which is work buddies. I would like to be able to sign on at home without allowing my work buddies see that I am online. Is it possible to do this?

this would be an awesome feature...is it possible?
i would love to block family sometimes because of my screen names...
and school peeps sometimes because i don't want to help them with their homework...

Just block ’em and unblock ’em later!

Or set up a new screenname for your work contacts only, then block all of them on your other account, so then you could just sign in and out of the accounts you want :)

Yeah, I was hoping that I could do it without creating a new account or blocking. Is it possible to block an entire group or do I have to go through each person individually?

No group blocking at the moment no sorry, you would have to go through each individually..a pain i can see.

Or you can try using different screen names for different groups - that's what I do. Then you can log out of the screen name that is visible to the group people you don't want to chat with at the moment.
