I saw this on another board. (can't remember if it was VB) But I liked the idea. How would I go about getting it to ICQ people instead of emailing them? Not in replacement of the email, but as an either or kinda thing.

I couldn't search it because ICQ is too short and didn't find it under notification. :(

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Great idea - but it's not available as a feature at the moment. You would have to add this in as a hack (or find someone else to do it for you).

Can you provide the code for sending an ICQ message?

I found this on the ICQ webpage. It's a form you can use to send ICQ messages to the user through the web. It surely needs some modification to be used in vB for the specified use.

Here's the code:

Code:

<form action="http://wwp.icq.com/scripts/WWPMsg.dll" method="post">

Sender Name:<input type="text" name="from" value="" size=15 maxlength=40 onfocus="this.select()">

Sender EMail:<input type="text" name="fromemail" value="" size=15 maxlength=40 onfocus="this.select()">

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="From Your Web Page">

Message:<textarea name="body" rows="3" cols="30" wrap="Virtual"></textarea>

<input type="hidden" name="to" value="ICQ-number">

<input type="submit" name="Send" value="Send Message">

<input type="reset" value="Clear">

</form>

Please note that I only copied the form-tags and no HTML around it...

Even easier - I believe you can just send email to number@icq.com. So for me it would be:
41716548@icq.com

I've never actually tested that though...

Oh yeah you're right. Same thing with SMS. :)

Has that been tested?

If so that would be cool. The question is, would you have to create a 2nd email field? If people put that in as their actual email, what about if they forget their password? Would VB just send the email and then the ICQ message would look like the email? :confused:

Oh my god, wouldn't be SO cool if you get SMS to your mobile phone about subscribed threads?! :D

i used to recieve sms regarding any new threads, some networks offer you free emails, and you have the option to get notification as sms.

so make one email unique to your forum, and register the email in the forum.

thats it! :)

No - you just use the ICQ field. Send an email to $userinfo[icq]icq.com

Actually, you can email (up to 400 characters) to $userinfo[icq]@pager.icq.com

But, there is that char limit.
