Hotmail would fall under a email adress setup. if you are talking about msn messenger, there is a hack that allows you to log into msn from your forums below your "users online" area, and that is about as far as anyone has gone with msn. MSN is kind of particular to certain aspects of thier site/software, so i tend to leave any hacks that may include msn, out.

ok, I have went a little bit further with it. I have added a field in the profile for msn hotmail and when the user logs in their hotmail handle if they have included it in their profile automaically goes in their login field. All they have to do is put in their password.

excellent...we may have to try and work something possibly in the userprofile area for that later web...Currently, we are working on a mini gallery module that goes with the rest of the multi-page userprofile. There are a few more things that we have been tinkering with to that will make the user profile stand out as a way to get to know a member, rather than a quick glance as before. Also, many of the options that were once just user profile addons, will now be hardcoded so a person can have a seperate personal extended area, to the standard registration area.(keeps all of that information tucked away)

I don't see anything.. do I have to register to see it in my profile.. hehe... :)

Ohh well.. almost done with it.. got some more testing and documentation to finish up on.. and I think it is done! :)

Can users upload the pic(s) during registration? Or they can only upload them when they modify their profiles? Sorry if this has been discussed b4.

we have made this a strictly registered only hack. They have to register, to actually access the upload section, due in part we hid it in the profile area. Of course, if you wish to have it accessable other places, that is up to you, but we strongly suggest that you have the link in the profile area, to insure that people that access that particular link, are of course registered members of your forum.

I will bring up the hack for the userarea, that shows the links to the mood, and upload area...i have it here somewhere...lol.

Just to let you know.. I can probably make it this way... or add some small bit of code into the script to make this happen for ya..

but for the most part... when I was setting it up it was strickly for my site and the way I set it up was with that idea in mind... but after playing with it, and seeing a demand from a few people.. like toratora, snyx, and a couple of others I decided to release a version of it, so I did not want to re-write or change it cause it already worked so I left it the way it was...

See uploading when you register is really not a big deal there can be a link after it says "You have successfully registered, do you want to add a picture and other preferences?"..

or whatever. Just with the way I set it up, it shows you what picture and description you uploaded right after you upload it, which I would not do with the registration... does that make sense?

I personally would rather see them have the option to upload, after lets say....100 posts or something like that rather than rite after registration.
That is just me being overly paranoid though.
Reason being, is when they first register, and are prompted with a upload a pic type deal, they are naturally not going to read the rules, or know what the rules are, because they just registered.
Even though the uploader has the rules printed on it, there are people who just register at boards to make life miserable for everyone else, and the uploader could be the perfect tool to do so.
If anything were to be added to it, that would be the one thing i would suggest. :)

Well as you know Tora.. for my site.. that is one of the intentions... ya know :)

but.. here is what we can do... well I have this set in mine... just not active.. is from either the admin and mod panel... banning the user from the use of the upload script.

As for the 100 posts.. I guess we can set it up where the administrator can set the amount if he wants an amount.... ok more delaying.. while I play with it lol.

you have to admit, its a pretty damned good idea :)
