You will appear to that + buddy to be off-line. To make yourself seen by that buddy again: + right-click on the buddy and select "Un-hide From."

Your invisibility to + that buddy will last only until the next time you log on or until + you set server invisibility (discussed next) on and off. + + To use per-server invisibility: click "Tools -> Away," select the Jabber + server login for the server upon which you wish to become invisible (if + necessary) and select "Invisible." To become visible again: select + anything else from that same menu (such as "Online"), or set your away + status or log off the server and back on again. + + You can set yourself invisible per-server and subsequently make yourself + visible to selected buddies only. + + Gaim currently does not retain invisibility settings between logins, + just as it doesn't currently retain "away" status. + + +7.5 I've a buddy that I keep removing from my buddy list but the entry + keeps coming back every time I log in again!
