AIM® 6.1 allows you to appear to be offline while you are online. When this happens, your screen name will appear offline to anyone that has it on their Buddy List.
Appear invisible by while being online
1. Launch the AIM®6.1 software, then sign on using your screen name and password.
2. On the AIM Buddy List window, just below the Find in Buddy List search box, click the eyeball icon (oval icon that contains a dot) that appears by your screen name to toggle your screen name offline.
3. To toggle your screen name online when you are invisible, click the closed eyeball (oval icon) again to open it.
Notes:
- When you are invisible on the Buddy List by appearing offline while you are actually online, you can still send an IM at any time.
- You can also become invisible by holding down the Ctrl + Shift keys, then tapping the I key.
