Is there any way by which I can sigh in msn chat with status invisible?

Like in yahoo,you can sigh in as invisible. Same way how do I do for msn chat.
Or any way by which I can keep some of contacts offline and other online?

Please help

YES,u can sign invisible mode in windows live messenger 8.1,8.5.......all u hav to do is.....when u sign in msn messenger just below password u will see,"sign in as: Appear offline" there r many options as appear online buzy etc,u should select "appear offline",and then click on sign in........... thus,when eventually u sign in u will be offline too all....

also,as for ur 2nd question ,i feel u can first block all d contacts u wanna be offline to,(right click on d contact and select block contact).......and then become online,hence only those contacts can c u ......whom u allow.....rest all wont be able to know if u r online.....

hope helpful!!!!!!!

b4 signing in there should be a tick box sayin sign in invisible 2 everybody else or somethin like that, or try the options in the top left

Hopefully your running windows live messenger if not it's time to update to it.
When you first open it, it has "sign in as" with a drop down arrow, just under your password window, click the arrow and you can choose to appear offline, away, what ever you want, there are 7 to choose from in all.
Hope this helps

i noticed someone just said to upgrade to windows live, windowslive is just a client .... a bad one at that, there are many good clients out there with more features, like adium or pidgin, windows live is very big slow and not exactly feature packed, as for the invisable, depends what client you are using :P if you are using the bad windows live, just click appear offline before signing in

Click the arrow by the online satus and click apper offline

yes you can, just change the status when you log in to appear offline, it's below the password.
