XMPP texting, profile share, spreading $0 around
Please consider upgrading forum software (using mod, patch, or awesome manual hack) to enable sharing of one's
XMPP texting address. Paying for sms texting on an iphone or android is naivete or money burned. imnsho |

Edwin has already stated, multiple times, that because using hacks makes upgrading the forum software a nightmare (because to maintain the non-standard features the members have become accustomed to using, after doing the install itself all the hacks have to be re-applied), any request for a feature which requires any kind of hack, and not just a configuration change, is definitely not on.

xmpp texting for forum profile field without hacking
Quote:
imho the op is not explicitly requesting a hack but coverying all the bases of suggestion which requests adding XMPP Texting info to one's profile. Here is a vbulletin Add-on that is in NO way a hack (not-a-hack) http://vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=135158 here are alternatives found in cursory search http://vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=262896 http://vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=179114 |

Of course, if the links you give are to configuration-change instructions rather than hacks, then it might happen; but it's still up to Edwin, and given that he has already vetoed other things which are just config changes, such as sigs, avatars and skins, it doesn't seem likely. |
