Stealth settings allow you to appear online to some people and offline to others. A stealth setting of online or offline can be activated for an entire group or individual contacts. To set up stealth settings:

1. Right-click on the group name or contact and select "Stealth Settings."
2. Choose from one of the following states:
• Online
• Offline (Invisible)
• Permanently Offline (you appear offline to this group or individual every time you sign in to Yahoo!XtraYahoo! Messenger)
3. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.

If a contact in your Messenger List appears in italics, you appear offline to that contact.

Note: If you sign in as Invisible, your former stealth settings are erased.
