| | | MSN Messenger addresses in profile?
I just noticed, that while Yahoo! and AOL handles and ICQ numbers are included as an option in peoples' profiles, MSN address isn't. Since it is pretty much the largest messaging service out there, wouldn't it be a good idea to include a space in the profile to put it in, or is there a reason that it's not there?

| | | well, since the only info you need to add a user is a compatible email address, just make sure that you put down your hotmail -or whatever - address under your email address

| | hehe, true.
silly me, i only just remembered that while you can put your email address down, it doesn't show up, you can only send messages and recieve notices from gamebanshee. that would be a good idea - msn specific addresses have their own little block on the profile page.

| | | Everything in your profile is the default for the vBulletin forum system. To add something like an MSN address would require me to install a hack of some sort or to edit the code manually. Chances are this is something the vBulletin team will add in the future, so I think it would be better to just hold off on an upgrade.
Version 3.0 comes out very soon, although I'm not sure if this is something it will add. |

I fully understand that you don't want to mess with the forum code, in case something goes wrong (a world without SYM I would not want to live in  ) so I guess I'll just wait. Oh, and if anyone fancies thwacking me in their MSN, I'm at john_szurko@hotmail.com
