Tweaking the Customization Page

May 13, 2001 11:18 PM

Nice job with the new info fields on the customization page, but I would recommend coverting spaces in AIM names to plus signs (+). In cases where a user has a space in their screenname, putting that space in the field will cause the screenname to be cut off at the space when passed to AIM.

I agree. Very cool. Would it be trivial to add a Yahoo Messenger field too? That way you'll have the three biggies. I suppose some people would like MSN. Perhaps you can have two or three dropdowns (with as many IM providers listed as possible) for people to pick from so that way a user can even have an odigo or everybuddy username and still be contacted.

If only AOL would open up and jumped on the IMUnified bandwagon...

People can easily put URLs for any of the messaging services they want to be contactable through in the big text field, anyhow.
