Quick msn question

[turquoise]

Can you get people you don't know popping up starting a conversation? Like spam? I know sometimes people you don't know invite you onto their list, but they can't just suddenly start talking unless you agree can they?

no turquoise, you have to "allow" people to join your list. If for instance I added you to my list then you would get a box popping up on yours telling you I had added you and asking if I am allowed to see when you're online and converse with you.

Obviously spammers can still email you but you can still "junk" them.

Does it pop up on any screen or only if I'm on msn? Thanks by the way

if you're logged on to msn it will pop up. If you added me for instance I could choose to allow you to see me, or block you which means you won't be able to tell if im online. Try it if you want my addy is [email protected] - I will not allow you to view me (just to show you how it works)

ok, thanks very much.

did it show you i'd rejected you. If you want to add me you can really next time

What happens if 3 people all add each other, do they get to 'talk' in the same window? Like if turquoise, Jammy & me all added each other.
Not that I think you want to talk to me, but am wondering if I could confer with a whole group at once. DH seems to do it...

It said you were offline, is that right? Did you get anything saying I'd tried?
Thanks, you're welcome to add me too (if it hasnt shown up I'll send it later rather than put it on here, as it's my real name).

Im set to busy - a window popped up saying you'd added me and invited me to "allow" you or "block" you - so I blocked you If you add me again I will allow you.

Zebra - you can have loads of contacts - if you want a "multi party conversation" you can invite people into your convo.

Will do, thanks
