is it possible to hide from groups?

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.
