IM options in profile

Thymox · 11-07-2002, 02:17 PM

With more people using GAIM these days, and GAIM supporting lots of different IM protocols, would it be possible or wanted even, if the IM options in the profile settings were revised? Perhaps just a blank text box, like for the sig, to allow people to write their own?

Cheers.

OK, when I go to edit my profile, I get the option of putting in the following IM protocols:
ICQ
AOL
Yahoo
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I for one use more than just those three. A lot of people use others either in addition or exlusive of these. Would it be possible to change/add to the profile so that others can be included. I mention GAIM simply because it is a very common program that supports many different protocols, of which only three are mentioned in the profile settings.

Get it now?

I use MSN... although through force! My brother and my sis' fiance both use XP and guess which IM client comes with that by default? Can they be bothered to try anything else? So in order to chat with them, I have an MSN accout... guess what it is!
