ICQ button

[MarkG]

A new(or more accurately a returning one) feature in our forums, the ICQ icon

If someone has his icq listed, you can send him a message by clicking on this icon which will appear on his posts

check it out and give your comments here

ps. we cant display the current status of the poster because it slows down the loading of the threads(and might even be illegal!)

Eeek! The ICQ Message Button has messed up the rest of the status bar! The last two buttons (after the ICQ button) have the other background colour!

edit: actually it's not the other bg colour in this thread. But it is in some other threads I checked.

edit 2: In this thread it is a third, dark grey colour.

Second- I sent a test message to myself, and the name of the sender did not appear.

on the first thing, it's not a bug, it's a feature
I was trying several things, that's why you might see a different look in a couple of threads...

on the second, I'll look into it...

hmm on the nickname it doesnt show anything, but on the icq window it shows the name correctly...

If it's a feature, GET RID OF IT! AAAAAAAARGH! AAAAAARGH! (This is possibly the ugliest addition to the forum since, well, forever).

[Locutus]

A feature? I must agree with Hugo, It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen! Please get rid of it!

[Hugo Rune]

Oh, and mark, take a look at it in IE if you don't believe me... (you might wanna swipe a few pixels off the top of the ICQ message button as well...

[Locutus]

I just had a look at it in Netscape and I must admit it looks pretty good in it. Can you make it look like that in IE?

[Faboba]

Looks pretty

I was looking over some things in ICQ and it seems you can do a special list of people's ICQs so I was wondering if one of the posters with more ICQ experience than me ( Lindey, Nimrod etc ) would mind trying to set up an Apolyton ICQ list.

Unless Ming and your 'good' self know how to do it Markos.

I use netscape so I don't care

[MarkG]

hmmm, not perfect but look ok(i think) in ie....

in the icq window, you can now also see the status of the poster as well as a "add me" button...

The whole point to me is that the edit and quote buttons aren't on the same line (maybe it's because I'm using a computer with 600x800 resolution currently - I forgot to mention that before), the color doesn't really bother me (though I liked the dark grey slightly better).
