there are plenty of 'msn blockchecker' sites out there that establish whether the hotmail address you type in is online or not.
they used to work when i used a few sites. not sure now tho.

Oh yes 
You're right in your assumption, but obviously it's tedious to keep checking an address when you don't actually know if the person is online or not. You could check for a year and just be unlucky not to do it at the time they are online to prove the point. Or do you mean you can see elsewhere on MSN if they are online, without having them added as a contact?
Having said that, i don't see how a program can give you an accurate answer if the person is offline - i'm surprised MSN allow this information to be readily available, but if it is, cool.

But 101, that's a programme that relies on the person being online.
So can you see somewhere if a user is online, even though your list of contacts suggests they're offline?

I could, but wouldn't you still need to add somebody as a contact to get an accurate online status? That's always been the dilemma as far as i can gather with any of these blocked staus programmes.

So you make a hotmail account from the persons name she trusts - e.g. bobsmith@hotmail.com and then ask to be added to tidybitch@hotmail.com contact list

Yes, it's an option. Just want something without having to go to that trouble though if possible. I'll see what Graham's programme looks like. Appreciate your time on this.

Aaah, now this is what I call a Frequently Asked Question: "Who is blocking me on MSN Messenger?". My two cents: don't get them to block you in the first place
Anyway, there used to be several techniques you could deploy to find out if you're being blocked or not. Some required MacGuyver techniques, others were as simple as a mouseclick. The bottom-line, however, is that Microsoft fixed a privacy bug (in an effort to outsmart Instant Messaging spam or SPIM) and now there's NO FOOL PROOF METHOD anymore to find out who blocked you on MSN Messenger. Every single block checker out there can not make a distinction between a contact that is offline or a contact that has blocked you.
Moreover, we STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST using online block checkers for MSN Messenger because we've seen some efforts collecting e-mail addresses for commercial mailinglist reasons (read: SPAM).
The most efficient way now to find out someone's blocking you is through social engineering: find a mutual contact (a friend, collegue or family member on both your contact list and the suspected blocker's) and find out (as subtle as possible) if he or she is online or not.
