Info/Instructions: This is just an update of the instructions to work with UBB.threads 6.2.3, no new functionality added. Please report any problems you might have and I'll try to fix them as soon as possible. I don't use this myself but I hope it works and that you might find it useful. If you have the MultipleSigs hack you will have to do some extra changes for it to work, please see the extra instructions at the end.
Changes in 1.3: Added the possibility to use the content of the fields directly in the templates, without the added description and br-tag.
Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
Well, I've been promising this for ages and I finally managed to remember to get it done. I'm trying to tie up some loose ends now that the semester is over and I have some time to get some things done.
Now that I think of it, the content of the extra fields should be readable in the template without the extra stuff, so that you can do these things in the template yourself. I did it like this since I didn't want an empty entry if there isn't anything in the field, but giving the option to use both ways would be quite nice. I think I'll update the instructions...
Updated the instructions to add plain variables with only the content of the fields for those who want to customize the look of this in their template. See the first post of the thread for these instructions.
Excellent, works like a charm. Thanks for coming up with the AIM mod The link is in my sig if anywant wants to check it out. I just did a google search for aim icon and there are several to choose from.
That's good to hear, looks good on your site as well!
I'm thinking of doing a mod to use all of the most popular messengers, shouldn't be too hard. I'm not sure if it would be best to have separate fields for each program, or just one field and let the user choose which one it is. There are pros and cons with both alternatives.

Which ever you choose, I am sure it would be popular - thanks for the code.
Correct, for some reason when I assign it a name it still doesn't display under the icon. I suppose I could have missed something while installing the mod, I will have to double check []http://www.vhfans.com/boards/images/graemlins/headscratch.gif[/]
I wanted to also add one for MSN but I can't find code for it anywhere, other message boards that have a "msn" indicator takes them to their profile. I have a feeling there isn't anything available for it.
Also on a side note, I pulled the <br /> out from the end of $postrow 3 so I could have AIM and YIM on one row.
I can take a look at the files for you if you want to see if I can find the problem. All extra fields show up at my test site, and from what I can see I haven't missed anything in the instructions.
I originally had the YIM code in line 5, when it didn't appear I moved it to 4 and it showed up. It's not a big deal though Gardener, I am pretty sure I missed something somehwere and it's a field I personally don't need. You have already been very helpful.
The way the mod over at ubbdev has it is they just add an alt= statement saying "so and so uses MSN [][email protected][/] and that's it IMO the best thing that can be done with this is to have it link to the users profile, do you have a quick and easy line of code for that?

at the moment - but expanding all the time....) 
Here's what my showflat.php looks like in this area 
it works great now. If I can dig up something for MSN I will gladly share it here, Thanks again.
