IM & Profile Privacy

I talked to Victor & Andrew about this, but never got to add a ticket for it. Well, better late than never.

I'm hoping that these 2 issues can be fixed BEFORE the release of the RC.

1. The IM

Once one is logged in, and see a friend online in the "IM bar" or whatever we chose to call this, he can't click on his name and IM him. One must enter each profile and that way IM. A smart thing to do, would be like facebook has. Once you see someone online and click on their name, you automaticly open the IM box. Then if you wish to go on their profile you click on their name from that area.

An other solution could be that one can click on "IM" or "PROFILE" next to the name one it's online in the bar. It's way too complicated that one must visit the profile each time one wishes to IM someone.

2. Profile Privacy

The profile privacy is missing some vital things. This is how it looks like now:

As you see the most important things are missing. What if I want to hide my name? My email? etc?

It's great to have a profile privacy, but why have it if you can't hide the most important things like your personal information? One should be able to decide who get's to view ones name, email, etc...

Hope you can get this fixed BEFORE the RC.

Thanks.

Link to profile from IM not working: a ticket was added some days ago.
Privacy Settings for Profile: was added and is now working from beta8
Hide email: anonymous mode already exits since a long time

Hi Michel,

I think you missunderstood my post.

It's not about the link from IM to the profile. Please read it again. What I am saying is, when you see someone online, you need to enter their profile in order to IM them, while on facebook, you press on them on the buddy list and you can IM right away..

Sorry, this is too late for 7.0.0 version, but it will be done in next 7.1.0 version.

Any idea when 7.1 would be out? I mean, are we talking weeks or months after the 7.0?

you don't need to enter their profile just to IM them

I've tried your suggestion, and it's not pretty.. The bar is down at the buttom of the screen which makes that thing pop even further down and makes the entire site bigger..

I am still looking forward to Boonex fixing it in 7.1 so it works as it's supposed to.

But thanks for the tip :)
