    Resolved [RESOLVED] Notification via ICQ

    Here is what I suggest - to be notified about new posts in the topics you have subscribed via ICQ message. This can be easily developed, I think...

    It might be easily done. But we do not add hacks to the forum code. So we will not add a feauture like this.

    What you can try, is to contact the vBulletin team at one of their home pages, and post about it in thier forums.

    Thanks

    Another thing is to set up and use Yahoo messenger with a yahoo mail account. That way when you get an email notification the messenger will pop up that you have new mail from VBF.

    I'm using ICQ and Outlook Express. What I will do is to make Outlook Express check my mail every 5 min

    Doesn't OE auto notify you of new messages? I believe there is a option for that, or it may be server-side with your ISP.

    No, it deosn't. You can just set an interval in which it checks, but you can set it 1 minute. I think that is the shortest interval you can set.

    Oh OK.

    I use MSN and my VBF email is my Hotmail account. Instant notification. So that's an alternative, like your suggestion of Yahoo.

    I forward my gmail to my hotmail account. Trillian notifies me of hotmail and aim mail. If I click it, the browser goes right to the Hotmail page, bypassing the login screens.

    I thought that was a bug that they discovered a few months ago? It still works though.

    Use Gmail Notifier then if you have a Gmail account.
