You have always been able to enter your AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and/or Skype identities under your profile. This allows members to contact you by looking at your profile or a post you make. Many people don't use it (like myself) because they don't want the world to know their IDs. So I just made a new option to give you a privacy option. If you enable Instant Messaging Privacy, only users on your Buddy List (which you designate) can see your IM identities and contact you.
Nice feature that will prompt me to start using this! ... as always this forum keeps getting better & better!
Shawn I can see your AIM & Skype . The idea is really good. I am definately going to to start using this.
Okay, this is bizarre... the logic in the code looks fine... and works as expected no matter how i try it. If I log in as a user not on my buddy list they don't show. If I'm not logged in at all they don't show. How in the hell can I debug this when I can't replicate it?!??!? heh Augh!
Is anyone else using this function that keeps only Shawn from seeing your instant messaging profiles? I thought about making it where he couldn't see mine, because he's kind of creepy. I don't care if anyone else sees it. I just don't want Shawn seeing it.
Long story short is you gotta be careful with vBulletin. It's *too* efficient sometimes (caching data whenever it can to minimize queries).
Yeah it looks good now. I still think it was a great feature for people to just hide their messaging from you since you know where everyone lives with the user map.
Dude, you have no idea what the Digital Point master control room looks like... Not only are there maps with who's where, but I can see your IMs, phone numbers, email addresses. I can also see your bank account/credit card info/transactions in realtime. Before the end of the year I'll be able to stream what you are seeing through your eyes at any given point in time.
