What it does:
This modification displays your AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo Online Status in the postbit_legacy or postbit templates, as well as the member info page, using an icon. Uploading the modification will add a new setting category called IM Online Status, where you can choose the server you use to display a users IM Online Status.

A few notes about custom icons... I have found through testing that using custom icons on your web server can make the online status icons load a lot faster. I suggest you download the icons from whichever online status server you use, and upload them to your forum directory (I put mine in images/icons). This is not necessary, just a little tip.

Please Please Please remember that even tough this hack is stable, things can still go wrong. I cannot and will not be held responsible for anything this hack may do to your forum or theme. As always, I recommend that you backup your database before applying this hack. Also please note that I reserve the right to remove this mod at any time.

If you use this mod please click Install.

Thanks,

I now just need to uninstall this one, then reinstall the old one...or upgrade.......I am always afraid of losing all my hacks etc if I upgrade.

Upgrading with the latest version of vb (3.5.x) isn't bad, just make sure you make backups.

Cool hack man, I love this. Only one downside. When I am on MSN and I check my forums I see the unknown symbol instead of the MSN Online icon.

VB Version: 3.5.4
Your Hack Version: 1.0.3
Custom Icons Used?: Yes *All the others work fine*

If you need ne more info or if you know why please let me know. Thanks.

I think this has something to do with your MSN settings. In order for the hack to detect the status of MSN you need to allow all people to see your MSN status through your MSN settings. I believe you also need to use the standard MSN client.

Question..?

How can one get the icons to just dissappear if the person is not online instead of gray?

Your best bet is to make a custom icon that is the same dimensions, only white (or whatever color the background of your postbit template is), and set that as your AIM, MSN, ICQ, YIM Offline and Unknown custom icons.
