Suggestion for all forums: MSN

by Antonio26 February 8th 2009, 3:53 am

It has come to my attention that, if someone wants to gets someones elses MSN, They have to ask the person even though it is on their profile. this is because of an error message got when you try to click the MSN buttons.

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (msnim) isn't associated with any program.

Now I suggest this gets fixed. People such as me, would like to not have to irritate people for MSN when they put it on their profile.

Good Idea?

well the way I use this is that in chrome it brings up the code, and in the code is the MSN address. But I would like to see this implemented.

There is a fix for this, check out the fire fox FAQ listing Wink

This is a BROWSER problem, not a forumotion thing too Wink

It happens on IE also. I looked for it and I could not find it

I vote NO

Why? Well this is an association issue with the browser not knowing what program to use to bring up and use the address in. You need to re-register the registry strand and then the program.

**EDIT

Also this link on every ones profile for MSN is to add someone to chat if they are already on your MSN

Forumotion have

msnim:chat?contact=Someone@hotmail.com

When it should be

msnim:add?contact=Someone@hotmail.com

Maybe you should ask them to change it from chat to add

Placehold....smart pants...I would of done it more indepth however that would of been by pm...

Antonio26,
Fire Fox - look in the FAQ listing (or above in the spoiler)
IE7+ - Shouldn't be a problem, get an update and they will have fixed it (according to the ie7 newsletter's)

Hope that's helped.

Would you believe it, me and placehold (craig) agree on something Very Happy

Lmao i agree with most people now a days hahahahaha

I still think the question in this forum however should be

"Should the techies change the msn link from chat to add, so that when you click the msn link it add's them as a contact?"

This would solve two problems in one.
The need for a private chatroom and the ability to use msn within the site.
Great idea.
