How do I look offline to some of my facebook friends?

[nelly]

I have a couple facebook friends that IM me with repetitive issues. Sometimes I don't want to write back but then I feel rude. I know there's a way to look offline even you are logged in, but is there a way to pick specific people who can't see I am online?

You click that place where it pops up all those people that are online, then click the top button and then click 'appear offline'

You can make a chat list for the people you don't like chatting to, and then you can go offline to the people in the list by clicking the appear offline button.

For this you need to have friend list to whom you don't wanna chat, you can create it in Accounts>Edit Friends>Click on Create List Button then Type the name of the list and select friends whom you wanna include in the list.. then click on the create list button..

After list has been created you can view it in Chat Window.. if it is not visible then when you click on chat window, click on Friend List and select the list to be visible.. Once it appears, then just click on the horizontally oval shape green small icon next to list just click on that it will change it to grey mode that means it makes you appear offline to those friends in the list.

Enjoy!

Create a group of friends and add those people whom you don't wanna show that you are online so after doing this just open your online friends list and click on that popup bar of that group so you will be offline to that group.

From the Facebook Help section:

"You can block a friend from chatting with you by putting them on a Friend List, and then choosing to go offline to that Friend List. To go offline to a Friend List, open Chat and click the green button next to the Friend List's name. Learn more about how to create a Friend List here."
