Im4eversmart Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Technically, MSN Messenger is now WLM (Windows Live Messenger) so I think you should rename it to that wherever it appears on the board, such as profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhosj Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well here goes:On the agreeable side, it should be changed to reflect Microsoft's change but on the disagreeing side; new people will confused since they won't know what it means straight away.

elj Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I think ICQ should be removed personally, and something like Google Talk or Jabber added. I've never seen anyone use ICQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Ryan Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I think ICQ should be removed personally, and something like Google Talk or Jabber added. I've never seen anyone use ICQ.Yeah we need to get rid of ICQ, because no one really uses it. Plus add GTalk or a other field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Wouldn't it be easier to just make them all custom profile fields, and let the admin decide? Otherwise you're going to have never-ending arguments over which belong and which don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzrtim Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I agree with Dan too! custom fields but I guess someone can mod something into IPB to allow this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental Crisis Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Couldint you just edit the .php file where this information is stored and change it to whatever you want? I havent done it myself but it doesint seem hard to do in the even that it isint changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon C Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I agree with Dan, that way everyone could be satisfied. ;) But you could have it on Dan's idea to upload an image for the chat protocol service(s) you would like to add and you could have it add the name for the specified chat protocol to correllate with the image.

Auhosj Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 GoogleTalk is a beta and is quite based off Jabber I think :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuCruTrooper2 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 And that means what to this conversation?I'm in agreement with Dan and his followers; we've been wanting a customisable version for a long time... and still have yet to see anything.

Luke Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 ICQ is still around, but if I'm not mistaken it's either linked with AIM, or is now the same network. Most people recognize Microsoft's messenger with msn, but I guess you could put "MSN / WLM"? Yahoo and WLM have linked networks now as well.I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to move them to custom fields right now. It's considered a feature, and right now 2.2 is feature locked. It would have to wait until 3.0. Changing "MSN" to "WLM" is as simple as changing a string in a language file... Although people still recognize it as "MSN"... WLM is rather new at the moment.If the WLM thing doesn't get changed in 2.2, you can always make the change in your language pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynicalFrost Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Meh. For me, I still use MSN instead of WLM when talking to people. Its not a big deal really. People using WLM should know that the IM product is still called MSN.But it depends. Whatever floats the boat :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooltad Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 agree with dan. Custom profile please. We don't wan't to be hacking, modding or arguing about little things like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=228783I guess we can all vote there, because its easier to see the results and get a broad view point. Thanks. Just to keep things organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Matt said that they would be customisable one day, but not in 2.2 which is now feature locked due to the security audit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
