i have scrolled through the whole thread now, but couldn't find anything comparable
when you go to the user profile, you can see the following information or you have the option of filling it out in your own profile:

but i haven't seen these fields filled in for any user - this is probably because only some of us still know icq, msn, ...

how about replacing these old chat apps with the new social media apps?
i would definitely suggest: twitter/x, instagram, telegram and simplex
It has been discussed
before, here's a more recent discussion:
[proposal] Update Profile > Social Networks ICQ/AIM/MSN/YIMAnd here's my suggestion on how to manage preserving old data/fields and adding new fields without cluttering the Profile page:
On-topic: Yep, the profile page/settings could use some attention. I've got some ideas about how to migrate those fixed-label messenger links to something more free-form, but I haven't thought about it deeply. I'll read through the topics logfiles posted, and see what folks have said/suggested in the past.
Now we're getting somewhere...
What about something like this:
- The number of fields, platform names and user input remains the same. This is how existing information is preserved.
- In the
Forum Profile Information page a dropdown menu is added next to the defaults to switch with some new ones (Discord, Telegram, etc). This also keeps the same number of contact fields.
- Updating the contact fields should also update the small logo under the user's avatar, displayed in posts.
PS: Thanks again @PowerGlove for your efforts!
