Blog EntryHow to Block an UserNov 12, '07 7:04 PM
by Luiz Felipe for everyone

There are three ways of doing it:

1) Go to the user’s home page. You’ll see a link in the right rail under his/her headshot that says: “Block [user]”. That’s easy, but you will show up in the viewing history for his/her page, and maybe you prefer not to, so



2) Move your mouse-cursor across the user’s headshot (don’t click) wherever you see it, e.g. in your viewing history. Now a mini-profile should pop up in which there are some links; one of them is “Block [user]”. Click there.














3) If you know her/his username, put this in yout browser location bar (where you type the http://...) and then press the ENTER key (replace USER_NAME with the actual username you want to block):
http://USER_NAME.multiply.com/block


If the mini-profile doesn’t pop up, it’s probably because you have disabled the feature. Go to “Preferences” above your message board and scroll down until you find a little box named “Hide mini-profile mouseover pop-ups”. Untick the box, click “OK”. Now find the pesterer’s headshot somewhere and do as in 2).


Note that you can’t block a contact; you have to remove him/her from your list of contacts first. You do that exactly the same way as described in 2). You may go to your My Network page and to do remove the person from your contact list, or access this page:
http://multiply.com/network/remove-contact

or even this if your know her/his USER_NAME:
http://multiply.com/network/remove/USER_NAME

 To remove a blocked user (unblock her/him), visit this page:


Blocked users will have no access to anything on your page but your Welcome Box: they won't see your posts and won't be able to reply, but you will still see them in your 'Viewing History'. Don't panic, it's normal. But be aware that they many logout from their accounts and visit your page 'anonymously', and this way they will be able to see your public posts (for  'Everyone') - but not leave comments.

Update1:
Since the last update, now you have to click on a headshot to display the mini-profile.
