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?

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?

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.

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.

*Basks in the glory of his own genius*

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?

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.

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.
