Lanigironu,

Thanks for posting this info. I've made the change to one of my boards and I'm using custom images so it's a nice feature. Thank you.

=====================
Online / Offline Status
=====================
I would like to take this one step further if I could though. If you use the default code built in (though commented out) to vB, then it actually checks the users online status for the various supported IM's.

For example, if you use the built in code for ICQ, then it shows a green icon if the user is online and an orange icon if you're offline. I created an ICQ button for on and off status and I'd like to use it, but I'm just not that great of a coder to figure it out.

I know that it will change the speed of my forums, but I anticipate that they will be fairly slow, so I don't think it would be much of an impact.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?

=====================
MSN
=====================
I know that MSN doesn't have any web based features, but I would like to add the button none-the-less. I haven't searched enough on vB.org yet to see if anyone has a solution, but I thought I'd like to post it here just in case.

1. I need to know what template(s) to add so that the MSN icon appears if they have the custom field I created for MSN filled out.

2. I need to know what the heck to link to so that if someone wants to send a message to that person via MSN they can either a) send a message, b) find their information so that they can send a message.


Thanks again for the tips!
