Skype?

[thedivinehairband]

As this is a now quite established messenger system of sorts perhaps a Skype feature for people skype names so perhaps some real time problem solving/discussions could be mounted?
Just a wee suggestion.
What does everyone else think?

[Solaris17]

so like an im for tpu?

[thedivinehairband]

Sorta but we just use skype to talk each other through problems sometimes.
I find there's only so much u can do with text. Be able to do video too.
True interactive problem solving!!
A TPU IM system could work also. Though I figure why make something new when you've got the programs already in place?

[Solaris17]

ok im still not 100% sure but i think i know what your getting at...so yes.

dude, DUDE, GREAAAAT IDEA! I had skype and found out calls were only free to other guys that used Skype, but I didn't know anyone with it. Great idea man, now I finally got an excuse to use that program.

I think its generally a great idea, people on the whole grasp new things via different formats. Some text, others voice etc etc. Gives everyone more of a chance to pick things up and better step by step real time instructions and support.

[AMDCam]

yeah phil, I never even thought of that. Real-time walkthroughs and no waiting for replies to posts. I say 100% great idea, and it beats the hell out of using those full-indian support specialists at every company you can think of.

Thanks for the support. :toast:

There is a little link here on the Skype website that creates Skype buttons for you.
http://www.skype.com/share/buttons/

Perhaps it could be integrated into the sig or as part of the contact group?

Any thoughts W1zzard?

[gygabite]

Does it cost money?

[AMDCam]

no it's free for what we'll use it for. It just costs money when you buy a phone number and make calls to real phones.

[gygabite]

So its like Xfire or teamspeak, isnt it?

[AMDCam]

yeah but less gameish

[AMDCam]

Should we start exchanging Skype names yet or do you wanna wait until everyone knows about it (especially W1zzard)? Either way, mine's just AMDCam (kornmancam@hotmail.com)

Lets see if there is any support from the site firstly. Then if not you can always go about a private arrangement.

[W1zzard]

sounds like a good idea ... vbulletin has support for it with a newer version .. i'll install vbb 3.5.3 now ..

[W1zzard]

this is completed .. let me know if you find any oddities in the forums

[thedivinehairband]

Let the skyping commence!

[AMDCam]

AWESOME, thanks a lot W1zzard. This is gonna be sweet

[phil]

Agreed, I think this is something new and a great idea.I'm glad the site can support it.
