This only works in IE (obviously) but it's a neat little piece of javascript I came accross today and added to my own forum, and it works well, thought you might want to add it in

In skin bit personal_portal_main find this:

CODE

<{PRO_MSN}> {$member['_msn_name']}

Change it to this:

CODE

<{PRO_MSN}> <a href = "msnim:add?contact={$member['_msn_name']}">{$member['_msn_name']}</a>

Now when you click on an MSN address in someone elses profile, if you're using a recent version of IE and MSN Messenger, it will automatically add them to your contacts list.

Oh very nice thanks Professor P. I don't know if it will make it in to the standard board, because not everyone like me uses IE, but still I'll give it an add. Very nice.

Even if you don't use IE, it doesn't hurt, the link just won't do anything.
If you wanted you could use something like this instead:

CODE

That would make it only clickable to IE users, and display it how it currently is for firefox/opera/etc users.

I thought it was a nifty feature - I saw it on an ad for a MSN robot and thought "that would work quite well if put on IPB" - I thought it would be a massive code, but when I saw how simple it was, I thought I'd post

They did have something similar to this back in like 1.3 (or 1.2). Basically for all the im clients it opened a new pop-up that allowed you to start a conversation with the person, check if they were only, and add them to your list. No idea why this was ever removed, but I'd like to see it again

"Rarity by itself shouldn't necessarily be evidence of anything. When one is dealt a bridge hand of thirteen cards, the probability of being dealt that particular hand is less than one in 600 billion [1 in 6 x 1011]. Still, it would be absurd for someone to be dealt a hand, examine it carefully, calculate that the probability of getting it is less than one in 600 billion, and then conclude that he must not have been [randomly] dealt that very hand because it is so very improbable." -John Allen Paulos, Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences
