New profile field in users profiles? by Quantum on 10-19-2008 at 12:36 AM

For Gtalk users? So they can publish the gtalk address? I think this would be good as i imagine theres alot of gtalk users here :P

Ahem...This is a Messenger forum, GTalk is evil :D.

They're not doing it for Skype, Jabber, Gtalk or whatever new awesome thing is.

As wj said, put it in your profile bio thing :p

Yeah but, AIM, Yahoo and ICQ are there and there messengers along with Gtalk :P

Gtalk is not evil |-)

haha

AIM, Yahoo and ICQ suck. Replace them with Skype and GTalk.

That'd be fine aswell. I don't mind.

Maybe if WDZ gets creative, he can just make the three fields in there that are non messenger into multi choce boxes. Outside of that, there are too many options out there to try and include everything (facebook, livejournal, myspace, gizmo, jabber, etc...)

i have an idea:



lets not change it

RE: New profile field in users profiles? by NiteMare on 10-19-2008 at 05:05 AM

how about an Other field, let them deside which one they want

RE: New profile field in users profiles? by matty on 10-19-2008 at 05:11 AM

How about remove those that are not messenger?

According to this nobody really uses ICQ. I know this is not the whole forum but gives a pritty good idea.

Also, i've made an AIM one to get an idea. ( http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=86748 )

I agree on the other field (Y)

Only 23 people voted...I don't really trust that poll's reliability and validity.

I think we all should get over the discussion, and move on with our lives. If you really care to have someone's Skype/GTalk or whatever, the Private Messaging feature is there for a reason, use it!

Err most of us use it so people can look at our profile and add us. We/i can pm everybody that looks at my profile. Plus, i don't know when people look :P

1) I wouldn't want any random person like krissy adding me
2) Not everyone who looks at your profile would want to add you. Those who'd want to, could just simply send you a PM.

He said they can pm you, not you pm them.

Not to mention if you CAN do it then why don't you.

Actually that would be the best. Being here means you have Messenger Plus! and having Messenger Plus! means you have Windows Live Messenger. So, what about matty's suggestion?
RE: New profile field in users profiles? by Lou on 10-20-2008 at 09:10 PM

Seriously guys, it's fine the way it already is.

RE: New profile field in users profiles? by robert_dll on 10-20-2008 at 09:17 PM

Agree with .Lou or:

Messenger and Other fields only
