	ICQ button Increase the size of your Attachments

A new(or more accurately a returning one) feature in our forums, the ICQ icon

If someone has his icq listed, you can send him a message by clicking on this icon which will appear on his posts


check it out and give your comments here

ps. we cant display the current status of the poster because it slows down the loading of the threads(and might even be illegal!)

Eeek! The ICQ Message Button has messed up the rest of the status bar! The last two buttons (after the ICQ button) have the other background colour!

edit: actually it's not the other bg colour in this thread. But it is in some other threads I checked.

edit 2: In this thread it is a third, dark grey colour.

on the first thing, it's not a bug, it's a feature
I was trying several things, that's why you might see a different look in a couple of threads...

on the second, I'll look into it...

I just had a look at it in Netscape and I must admit it looks pretty good in it. Can you make it look like that in IE?

Looks pretty

I was looking over some things in ICQ and it seems you can do a special list of people's ICQs so I was wondering if one of the posters with more ICQ experience than me ( Lindey, Nimrod etc ) would mind trying to set up an Apolyton ICQ list.

Unless Ming and your 'good' self know how to do it Markos.

The whole point to me is that the edit and quote buttons aren't on the same line (maybe it's because I'm using a computer with 600x800 resolution currently - I forgot to mention that before), the color doesn't really bother me (though I liked the dark grey slightly better).

I don't like the look. Having an ICQ button is and probably quite usefull), but the different color looks horrable.

On a different note, think it is great that you are making some changes to the forums. Keep up the good work!

Now the background colors are switched. The edit and reply with quote now have a lighter background in posts with a dark grey background and a darker grey background on posts with a light gray background.

Slightly better... I still think it might be the ICQ button, because the thin line does not align itself properly to the message icon as it did before.

(Oh, and I noticed in one post I made that there sufddenly were two edit buttons. Hallucination or bug?)

IN some threads, the edit and quote buttons are on top of each other:
http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum19/HTML/001697.html?date=09:56

I think this is a case of having too many buttons on the bar. I think that "icq" will work just as well as "icq message" for the icon and save you some more room.

And make all the buttons the same background color, please. For one thing, it's too distracting when you're scrolling down.
