Chat under 'invisible'?

Post by Sunnz »

Hi just wondering if it is possible to chat with someone on MSN while being "invisible"?

I remember doing this on the Live MSN client on a PC and Pidgin on Unix. I would imagine MSN supports it?

The FAQ answers most questions of this kind. :)
See http://trac.adiumx.com/wiki/FrequentlyA ... s#Statuses.

Yea I know how to use Invisible, but I am not sure if Adium can still send message to other people while in invisible mode, FAQ doesn't address it neither.

"message could not be sent, not allowed while invisible"

I am not sure why it is not allowed?

Hm, which version of Adium are you running?

Edit:
Actually, nevermind that question. This is known to not work, neither in 1.2.7 nor in the 1.3 beta, I have been told.
What surprises me, though: I have found no mention of this in the Adium wiki.

MSN is using offline messages while talking to invisible users unless a switchboard is open between you and the user. Adium 1.4 will probably use msnp15 so then this will be supported.

If this is really important to you you can check out my unofficial msnp15 builds which are available in the beta forum. ;)

I can live without it, but I gladly run the beta and see how it goes. ;)

Clarification:
The beta and the "Unofficial msnp15 builds" are two different things. However, the latter builds are to be found in the beta forum.
