You go into files and click add friend....its really complex i know
Buddy list
It means you're not on their buddy/friends/contact list.
To remove a user from your instant messener, it depends on which messenger you have; but you can try right-clicking on the person and press block, then delete. You can press block, so that person wont talk to you, and you can delete the person from your instant messenger. Another way, is that you can, if you have aim, then you can go to your buddy list, click on setup, click buddy list, then at the bottom, you click on delete buddy. And its gone!!!
because there are so many screen names out there that its to hard to track all them and find out whose where...........
go to your buddy list. it will show the names of your friends. on the left theres a house and a smiley face. click on the smiley face. it will say show id fone and delete buddy. click delete buddy.
You can easily find out by entering your friends' AIM usernames into an AIM status checker such as http://www.imcheck.com/index.php. A less time-consuming method would be to export your buddy list, and import it to a new screen name. You could then switch between screen names to check the differences.
Locate the Add to Buddy List in the Options menu then click Import Buddies. Select Windows Live Hotmail from the options list, then provided the needed facts. Click the Find button to bring the MSN contact list up for matching with AIM accounts. Select the people you wish to add, and then click Add to Buddy List to import the contacts.
There should be a icon and it should say "Buddy list" and click it.
You send it to yourself. It should be somewhere on your old buddy list. :)
Go to view and go to buddy list or go to buddy list and right click on a person, and find a unblock. If that doesnt work click on the buddy, so you see the message thing. Then somewhere in that box you will see a unblock. If that doesnt work just delete him or her and add them again. -Razer
Preferences, ignore list.
Are you talking about aim? well if that's what you mean you add the buddy on your buddy list that you want on your list then you click on the buddy's screen name and there you go! hope this helps =]
