Hello again readers! Dear Berry is here once again with a mailbag full of BlackBerry questions and woes. This week's question comes from a reader who asks:
I would like to add some of my contacts to the ignore list on BlackBerry Messenger but when I go into options I cannot seem to locate it? Can you please help?
Thank you.
Dear reader:
Thank you for seding in this question. In order for the ignore list to be viewable on your device you first need to add a contact/PIN number to the ignore list by blocking them. Just follow the steps listed below and you should have no problem locating the feature.
How to block or add a BlackBerry Messenger contact to the ignored list
- Launch BBM
- Scroll to and locate the contact you wish to ignore
- Press the menu button and select Delete Contact
- If you want to add a person to the ignore list simply mark the check box that says Ignore future invitations? and then choose Delete
- Press any key to clear the popup notification advising that you can modify in Options
How to remove a contact/PIN from the ignored list
- In BBM, press the menu button and select options
- Now that there is a PIN being blocked the Ignored Contacts option is visible. Select Edit.
- A popup with all of your ignored Pin #'s will appear. Place a check mark in each of the boxes next to the Pin(s) you wish to unblock
- Click OK to remove
- If that is the only PIN in the list, the feature will become invisible again

Why is my BBM contact still pending?
