How to check if you're blocked (NOT guaranteed)

Fellow members, before you go ahead and ask if there is a way to know whether someone has blocked you on Msn, please read the following:

Using a block checker in the old days would allow you to see the real status of a contact due to a bug in Msn's protocol.

Now there is an option to only allow people on your allow list to see your real status and send you messages.
(Under Tools > Options > Privacy)

If someone has checked this option, then the block checkers will always detect him/her as offline, even if they are really online, since the block checker isn't in their allow list.

Some online status checkers a.k.a. block checkers can be found at:
www.onlinestatus.org
www.blockstatus.com
www.msngeeks.com

There are so many more around the internet, but do not waste your time to search with the hope to find one that can work 100% efficiently as they all work on the very same mechanism described above.



The road to success is always under construction.
