This may be really really noobish, but I cant figure out how to view someones details. Cant click on their user name cuz it just takes you to a PM. I can put my details in, and see that such and such has MSN and ICQ, but how can I view those details?

mm atm you can't ;)

more specifically *you* can't. but somebody with access to the databases can. start begging nuke i suppose :p

right ;) we probably have to go over what sort of privacy / permissions for seeing your icq/msn etc there should be

ie, personally i'd only like to share my msn/icq/etc to people who are logged in, simply so i don't get bot spammed =/

I'd like to only share with Admins and other alliance leader types.

maybe have an authorizations done? Assign a Forum Mod that takes care of things, each alliance allowed a "President/Leader/Don/goofball", 2x Foreign Minister type, and 1x Internal Affairs type, and a recruiter type

then these people instead of Member would get a title,

LaF IA

or something like that.. =p.. and only share with those people my info

Lol.. Answers my question. I think the title would be the right way to go. Linking actual ingame accounts with forum profiles would work too. Weeds out the spammers.

if ingameFFAacclink = true & postcount > 20
showallcontacts = true
end if

Obviously translated into php though :D

if icq etc is posted on boards then for sure bots pickup it and that way spammers too, I get many times per month add to icq and accept msg requests to my icq and occasionally to msn.
