Quick Tip: Keep Offline in Yahoo Sites when logged in Yahoo Messenger

I used to ask how some people are able to know that i'm online even when i've already set that i'm invisible to that particular person (ehem.. suffice to say, i wasn't in the mood to chat with that particular person. haha).

It was actually, easy when your using Yahoo! Messenger. Although you can set your invisibility for a contact or group of contacts but there are simple ways to see if your online or not. One way is by just logging-in to yahoo mail and on your address book or e-mail you'd see the bright-yellow smiley (sometimes yellow dot) right next to a contact that is online. Viola! You’re exposed!

You’ll see similar indications through out Yahoo Websites. So you see, you’re not necessarily invisible to certain contacts.

Fortunately, there is a setting in Yahoo! Messenger that let's you turn that feature off. Here are the steps:

1. Log-in to Yahoo! Messenger.

2. Go to Messenger –> Privacy Options.
4. Uncheck the "Allow Yahoo! websites to show when I am online." box.

*You can actually reach the same window, thru Messenger –> Preferences menu, then clicking the “Privacy” category.

This is for the 10.0 version, but i think it's there on some of the earlier versions of the messenger.
