Knowing that the user profile requests MSN and AIM contact details and these are dying formats, is there a simple way to change the profile detail to include Facebook and Twitter user names. Any help greatly appreciated and Happy New Year to all

Not really sure what to tell you is an easy fix, Andy. You'll have to get into the code to change it or add new code. I am not up with Facebook and Twitter, so I am unsure of the formats/usernames they use regarding validating that type of user input for Snitz. Years ago, I think it was Huw's design, there was a User Fields MOD that would add fields to the user profile. Still and again, you would want to validate the user input for those new fields.

Have to change a number of pages.
In root Snitz ("active_users.asp", "admin_config_users.asp", "config.asp", "inc_create_forum_access.asp", "inc_create_forum_configvalues.asp", "inc_create_forum_mssql.asp", "inc_create_forum_mysql.asp", "inc_iconfiles.asp", "inc_profile.asp", "inc_subscription.asp", "members.asp", "pop_config_help.asp", "pop_delete.asp", "pop_lock.asp", "pop_messengers.asp", "pop_profile.asp", "pop_profile_pending.asp", "post.asp", "post_info.asp", "register.asp", "setup.asp", "topic.asp")

In mods ("admin_pmmaint_read.asp", "admin_warn_members.asp", "inc_draft_info.asp", "inc_messageicons.asp", "inc_warnmembers_email.asp", "LangMODS_Ls3kAU4_1033.asp", "photo_gallery.asp", "photo_post.asp", "post_info_photo.asp", "privateprint.asp", "privateread.asp", "privatesend.asp", "user_space.asp", etc.)

Just in that collection, there are almost 300 pieces of code that would need to be changed - so double that to add both.

You're welcome, Andy. Maybe in a future version, we can read all the messenger applications and settings from the database using an include file instead of manually including each/every one of them for all these pieces of code.
