Is there any way to switch OFF the auto-suggested contacts?

The whole purpose of Lync and the way it handles contacts is so that I do not have to see everyone that is online and their status... automatically adding people I've spoken with seems a bit counterintuitive does it not!? I work in IT support so can speak to any number of people in our enterprise in a single day - I really don't want to keep having to spend time after talking to people to remove them from my list...

The biggest frustration I have with Lync contacts is the inability to reorder my groups. With Communicator (and just about every other IM app I've used) I can drag and drop groups into any order I want, but with Lync, I'm stuck with alphabetical only. This means that I have to add spaces or extra characters to the front of my group names to get them to show up in my preferred order. This is a small thing, but a constant irritant. Please add drag and drop and more sorting options within groups too. It would be great if my available and away contacts would automatically group themselves in my lists like they do in my other IM apps. Thanks!

When you search for a contact, I'd love to see the results broken into two sections. The top section is all matching contacts that are already in your contact list and the second section is for all other matching contacts.

Agree with the two previous posters - please add "Hide offline contacts" option!

At this moment I have 7 offline contacts out of 11 in one group - so I have to scroll to see who is actually online. While "Order by availability" is nice, it's missing an option to sub-order by name. When all of you contacts in a group are online, I want to know where to look for them in the list..

Thanks,

Kenneth

Are there any features to allow users to join and remove themselves from DL's?

I agree with Mr. Dilley. Please, please, please, add an option to Hide Offline Contacts.

Any chance of getting offline contacts hidden?
