    here it is again, lol. I've had two topics today, so i'm cutting and pasting--again.

    Hi,

    I would like to know what shows up if I've blocked an AOL user from my instant messaging if that person tries to IM me. For instance, does it say "not available," or "you've been blocked," lol. Could an AOL user please PM me, so I could block you, lol, and then post here or PM me what message they got when they tried to IM me?

    Sounds like code talk, but I can't figure out how to find out what the message would be.

    What does it mean "moved to private board"? A board other than JWD? A secret board on JWD?

    Most block features just show you as offline to them. Some also show them as offline to you (a mutual cutting off)

    MSN shows you as offline to them but shows you if they are online, adds a (blocked) note after their screename and won't let you message them unless you unblock them.

    AIM shows you as offline to them and them as oflfine to you. You cannot message back and forth unless you unblock.

    I imagine AOL would be somewhere along the lines of these examples. That being said if you emailed them at the same time as it shows you offline they could easily figure it out I would think. But not being an AOL user myself I can't help you test anything out.

    Thanks Mysterious. I just didn't want it to say "you are blocked..." (a little rude, lol).
