To edit your lists, click on chat then click on "Friends lists". I f the w indow pops up and you'v e run out of space, the hack to get around this is to pop out the chat w indow. Go to options, then choose "Pop out window".

From there, simply ensure the lists you w ant hav e ticks next to them. Decide w ho you want to talk to most, who you w ill only talk to if you're bored and chatty and w ho you'd like to filter out on occasion. For example: Best friends; Family; Professional contacts; Overly chatty people. Re-order the lists. 

Drag them around and click "Finished Re -ordering".

Now you can be online to some people and offline to others. To the right of each list is a green symbol –  click to appear offline to all on the list.

The grey symbol means that you're now offline for those people.
