Hi everyone! There are a few patches in our tracker (#1604974, #1388029, #1236132) each of which adds a 'Block/Unblock' option in a buddy/contact's context menu in the buddy-list. There's also patch #1259960 which adds a couple of privacy-related utility functions. How do we want to deal with these? "How do I unblock someone?" is a semi-FAQ, I believe. I think having a 'Block/Unblock' option in the context menu will be helpful for most users who ask this question, and the three patches confirm this. If no one feels very strongly against the idea, I plan on committing something for this by tonight before we release beta6. Sadrul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Go for it > > Me too. I have committed the patches #1236132 and #1259960. I have changed a little thing though: the patch was storing the block/unblock setting in the local list only. But what I just committed will also notify the server about the change in privacy setting. If I remember correctly, the patch tries to follow the discussions in http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10755261.
