Skype added to profiles.

You can alredy put in MSN, ICQ and the others. But why not Skype! As a really fast growing VOIP program, with most of the IM features of MSN and the like. I think it deserves a little box for you to put your name in if you chose to do so. It could replace ICQ, no one uses that.

Yeah good idea, as theres quite a few of us from HEXUS who use it.

I have added this in, it can be found at the top of the additional information within your profile on the User CP.

Please note, I have set this field to not be visible on the member list and not available on searches. This is to restrict possible problems, you will only be able to see the members details if you are a member of HEXUS.net forums.

Enjoy,

Cool - I've just updated my information accordingly.

[ajbrun]

I've done mine also .

Nice feature, but I'll take it off if I get calls every 5 mins .

Can you only see other peoples' skype names by going into their public profiles then?

[MD]

yes that it correct, we need to be safe with the release of this data, with the upcoming issues with unauthorised calls, its best we do not publically list this on the members list....

Those are the exact ones I use. Each have their own uses, but I still think it's a few too many. I think we need a combination of them all. MSN has the mass use, IRC can send messages to many at once, skype can do voice communication better than MSN, and Xfire can be used for in game chat. The only one missing from that list is teamspeak, which is used ocasionally also.

Just rembered, if you dont want to get random calls from having your skype name in your profile you can set the program to only accept calls from people in your contact list.
