3340 | 338 7.4 How do I use invisibility? |
339 | |
340 Jabber invisibility support is available in Gaim version 0.60 and later. | |
341 | |
342 There are two ways to use Jabber invisibility: on a per-buddy and on a | |
343 per-server basis. | |
344 | |
345 To use per-buddy invisibility: right-click on the buddy on the Online | |
346 buddy list and select "Temporarily Hide From." You will appear to that | |
347 buddy to be off-line. To make yourself seen by that buddy again: | |
348 right-click on the buddy and select "Un-hide From." Note that the menu | |
349 changes based on whether you're currently invisible to that buddy or | |
350 not. | |
351 | |
352 The "Temporarily" part is a dead give-away. Your invisibility to | |
353 that buddy will last only until the next time you log on or until | |
354 you set server invisibility (discussed next) on and off. | |
355 | |
356 To use per-server invisibility: click "Tools -> Away," select the Jabber | |
357 server login for the server upon which you wish to become invisible (if | |
358 necessary) and select "Invisible." To become visible again: select | |
359 anything else from that same menu (such as "Online"), or set your away | |
360 status or log off the server and back on again. | |
361 | |
362 You can set yourself invisible per-server and subsequently make yourself | |
363 visible to selected buddies only. | |
364 | |
365 Gaim currently does not retain invisibility settings between logins, | |
366 just as it doesn't currently retain "away" status. | |
367 | |
368 | |
369 7.5 I've a buddy that I keep removing from my buddy list but the entry | |
370 keeps coming back every time I log in again! How can I stop this? | |
371 | |
372 As of Gaim version 0.59 and later: Select the Edit Buddies tab, right- | |
373 click on the offending entry, and select "Remove From Roster." | |
374 | |
375 | |
376 7.6 Can I remove a buddy from my Jabber roster entirely? | |
377 | |
378 As of Gaim version 0.59 and later: yes. In the Edit Buddies tab, right- | |
379 click on a buddy and Select "Remove From Roster." | |
380 | |
381 The buddy will disappear from your buddy list and also will no longer | |
382 receive presence notifications from you. | |
383 | |
384 | |
385 7.7 What does "Cancel Presence Notification" do? | |
386 | |
387 This selection, available in Gaim version 0.60 and later, and found by | |
388 right-clicking on a buddy entry in the Edit Buddies tab, prevents that | |
389 Jabber I.D. from receiving future presence notifications when you log on | |
390 to the server. | |
391 | |
392 After you do this, that buddy will have to re-request a subscription to | |
393 your presence (and you will have to approve it) for them to again see you | |
394 on-line. | |
