It would be great if a field to enter a Skype contact name would be added to the profile section. I talking about the area that allows you to enter your MSN messenger user and others.

Can't you (as an Admin) add a custom profile field to accomplish this?

Plus there are mods out there that do this.

Yes there are mods but I also agree that a Skype field should be built in. Better still why not have these MSN, Yahoo, etc fields customizable from the ACP settings so that we can choose what get's listed in members profiles. That way a site could decide that they were all going to voice chat via one particular method.
