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, ... Grin

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/YIM

And here's PowerGlove and me discussing on what is probably the best way to manage preserving old data/fields and adding new fields without cluttering the Profile page:

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.

Yep. That's just about the best way to approach it, IMO.

I think the "Skype" field should probably be moved upwards to sit with the other fields, like this:

Then, I think those 5 field labels could be converted into dropdowns, like this:

That way, everyone's existing field values would remain intact, but people would be free to switch them out for more modern alternatives (and whenever those get out-of-date, adding new choices would be really simple).
