REMOVE MSN from YaBBSE

[jthorpe]

Is there plans in the works to create a mod to remove the MSN mod?  Even if not to remove it, then to turn it completely off in the mod settings page?

..Why?

[jthorpe]

Because it sucks.  I got more complaints about it then anything else.  Even when you remove the tag from the board index, then the stuff in the user profiles doesn't work.

I can picture the e-mail from Microsoft,

There is a thread on your forum that discusses the removal of MSNM from your product.  Please remove this thread or we will unleash the red screen of death upon you all.

Thanks,

It could be removed but is the only thing that bothers you is that it opens the program when you browse the forum?  Personally this doesn't bother me because I can't delete or quit MSNM even if I try to, it won't let me.

you could just grey the msn name field in your profile.

you could just grey the msn name field in your profile.

This actually only works in IE.  You could remove the field though.

yea even better...

Code Select Expand

<tr>
      <td><font size=2><b>MSN: </b></font></td>
        <td><font size=2>$msn</font></td>
      </tr>
search for that in profile.php and remove it

The greying of forms only works in IE? I wouldn't be too sure on that...
