I just found out that someone can add you to their list without you knowing if they are on Meebo. The only thing is is that you have to be offline. If you are online you will get a request, if you are offline, you will not. Interesting…and sorry if this is old news.:o
I doubt this, and if so it would be bad coding by the meebo team as yahoo! have put in place earlier this year a request and notify in the add packet as the add request should popup everytime you login till you either accept or deny it.
But nonetheless, having you on the buddylist is not much concern if only thing they can do is read your status messages. But if it is meebo thats causing it you should inform the meebo staff of such.
Yes you can be added to someones messenger list, But on their friends list you will always show “Add request pending” so they will not know when your on or view your status messege.
On older Yahoo messengers, and third party Messengers You may show online and display status message.Dermot wrote:

However, even since then I’ve found that a lot of the time user add buddy requests still can go undelivered to the user being ‘added’ which sucks because Yahoo! wasn’t pulling their end of the bargain.
With the new system now in place (since YMSG 13) now when users add others on the Yahoo! network they have to wait for the accept or deny from the receiving party before they can see the status (there’s ways around it but for the sake of not going into it I won’t).
The problem with the new system is that it only applies to YMSG 13+ users. If you were still using YMSG 10, 11 or 12 you are exempt from the new system meaning you can add users and immediately see their status (auto-approved) until they revoke your add. The new system doesn’t apply to older protocol versions for add buddies so to me it’s a major flaw in the system.
I don’t know anything about how Meebo does it’s magic so I can’t comment on it.
On older Yahoo messengers, and third party Messengers You may show online and display status message. I tried it and the id was showing online when they were on.
Someone tried to add me to their friends list. But when I looked at their profile it went to Yahoo! Profiles. now I am getting messeges as soon as I log in, I have no idea who they are. did they somehow add me?
Hi Yahville, welcome to bigblueball
Could be that the person that tried to add you was an alias that got deleted or an account that got deleted or was a malformed add buddy request packet sent from a booter, or just yahoo messing up.
You can use a Deny buddy program and remove the id from your list and you from theirs to see if it stops the error.
No i know what this is, yahoo is Buggy and i mean buggy, when you goto a yahoo chat room, it sometimes places you in a random yahoo room when you leave (even though you aren’t really there) and durring this time ppl message you thinking you’re in there asking for ASL and such. And when you confraont them on how they got your name they rply with you’re on my list. But they are stupid people and don’t know the difference between their list and the chat room list.
There is an issue at the moment with strangers notifications popping up on people in a chatroom, they then think you’re on their list and pm you.
This has been happening a good 6 months now and still isn’t fixed.
i have never seen the notifications popping up and i am always in chat rooms.
I have “Ignore chat invitations” selected is that why I have never seen it?
