    See attached screenshot. One of my "friends" always tries IM-chatting when I log onto facebook. How to I not allow my name and that 'Green Dot" to appear on my Facebook friends pages like you see in the attached screenshot? Do I go into "My Accunt'? If so, then navigate to where? Thanks for any insights!

    At the bottom right hand side of your page where you see the option "chat". Click on that and there click on the "option" tab. Here you would see the option to go offline.

    Also conveniently when you press it once facebook will remember this as your preferred option so you will remain invisible whenever you log in

    Yes its possible in FB to keep you hide from several friends. If you want to hide yourself from few friends only and want to be online for rest of the friends you need to create lists.

    Create 2 list, for example create a list for those to whom you want to be online - "My Friends online" and create another list for them to whom you want to be offline - "My Friend offline". Now all you need to do is click on the option "chat" then you'll find your 2 list with friends, see that capsule looking icon, press it and your offline for friends who comes in that list.

    You need to create list and named it - "my friends online" or use any name you want its up to you.

    Using my trick you can hide yourself from few friends not from all friends.
