instance messeging

[josh]

dear edit boards.com,

i think it be great to have instance messeging then you can contact them and it will pop up on your screen like on friendcodes.com{there site might be down}when the the site was up they had 24,000 members and this little programe help them at the start.i think it will be great for both sides us because we get more members your company because they can use it on there prudot featers page.i now you have the chat and pms but so did they and i bet it will be a hit!

ps some words are spelled wrong

thank you

[Richard]

that would be cool

[Caihlem]

Although I'm english and have re-read your post several times, I have understodd nothing

Care to explain? Because to me sounds like P.M's, which is already possible...

[josh]

its like a yahoo messenger

[Buster]

Then why not use, Yahoo messenger, or Hotmail messenger, or AOL messenger, or Meboo.com, Or Gabbly.com... No need for "MOD" there are many programs out there that already do it.

[josh]

yea but you have to download thous and some people have parents that don't let them download and to have a site you must think of all the people not just one group.

[Caihlem]

Sounds to me like the chatbox now...
Either you develop, explaiing clearly your idea, or I'm locking

[mersey]

We already have the pm system and you can make it so that they pop up when you recieve a new message, as long as your pop up blocker is off or can be set to accept pop ups from forumotion.com

[Tristou]

If it's someting like the pm or the chatbox, I'm against

[josh]

ok fine you guys can lock im done

[Tristou]

No, that's not because we gave our opinions that we must lock the topic

[Buster]

yea but you have to download thous and some people have parents that don't let them download and to have a site you must think of all the people not just one group.

Meboo.com, and Gabbly.com are 100% free!

Meboo uses all IM systems, all you need is an account (Also free) and you ont even need an account on meboo(Which is free...)

Gabbly you dont even need an acccount....

[josh]

but this it will use your user name and on the profile page it will say like chat with this person

[Buster]

Do you see the buttons under this post... you can use those to chat with me to... so it has been done man.

[josh]

ok thats pm your missing the point.

[Nols76]

PM's are one of the best features here. I think they are much more important than IMs. However, they do not enable a private (runnung) conversaion with anyone. If we tried to do that with PMs we'd fill up our mailboxes in 5 minutes.

My members don't use the chatbox because the whole forum can see what we are writing. And if I require them to sign up for an IM service they'll never do it (free or not).

I do NOT propose that we replace anything just add an IM module. It seems by reading these posts that there is a need for it, because none of these other functions really solve the need. So I am GAME.

[josh]

finaly some one who gets it. i have seen other since my mar 10 2007 post that have ask for this. if you dont under stand then whats the point of even leting us ask for updates show you care by at lest posting a maybe on here.

I don't like the Idea. That's what MSN is built for.

[KQ]

I'm for this idea. Sure AOL and Meboo work but the idea of most sites is to keep as many features open for members as possible, and so you don't want them having to go to Aol or meboo or gabbly when you can have it right on the site and keep them where you want them.

Plus, it'd be better then the chatbox and overall help sites. It'd be like Instant Pm's. Like nols said, we don't want to replace the chatbox or PM system, just have it as an added feature. Like the PM warning box tells you someone is PMing you, well it could have the samebox and then you click open and you are inserted directly into an IM with someone or you say no and don't converse. I could definitely see this idea being extremely beneficial to my site which loves to chat.

[kylesmummy06]

So basically like when you send a instant message to somone it like pops up in the corner of thier screen?

[Adiex]

i voted NO, i wont support idea that i dont even know what it is
