I sometimes see posts where the poster mentions another user's name and the system places an IM link next to the name. I don't see them too often and I saw one recently but I can't seem to find it to repost it here. So I hope you know what I mean...if not let me know and I'll look harder.
Anyway is there anything special required to make this IM link appear? When I type another user's name in my posts, the IM link doesn't come up in the completed post.
When you reply, if you look on the side there is some code. One code is (add a name which may be what you are asking about. You can try to test that and other codes in dev null forum »/dev/null
Awesome, thanks for the fast responses fourboxers and dandelion . I feel sheepish, it's right there on the code at the right side of the editing window, I've just never used it.
