I think YT needs an Instant Message (IM) option! I think YT needs an Instant Message (IM) option! Do you agree ? The whole private message (PM) get tiring when trying to carry on a private conversation and the idea of having to log into the chat room in order to have a private conversation is to much work. I was thinking something a bit more connivent and simple. I wonder if it would be possible for YT to add a Instant Message option (IM). If there is one, I cant find it and if you know how to get there let me know. |
PM and chat seem ok to me. IM might keep YT from being the open forum that it is and become a clique of some users that just correspond with one another. There are other services for that. I'd rather the servers be used for better software Search options here or larger avatars or something. |
True there is that aspect of it the openness of the forum. But I was thinking more along the lined of making it easier to connect with people and form a more one on one way to get to know someone and form a real (although on line) friendship with. For those who wish to . . it would make getting to know that person better and sharing parts of your every day life with them without sharing it with the entire world. True there are other forms of that like FB, but we are here, at least I am every day a lot. Why not have that option here? |
Dawn you must type really fast if Pm's aren't fast enough for you! |
By the way, on the "Edit your details" page http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pro...do=editprofile it does give you some options for instant messaging. It says, "You may enter your registered identity for the instant messaging networks if you would like other visitors to be able to contact you using that medium". |

if i develope friendships i sometimes give my number and we text each other its is funny because we still "talk" via post but text at other times |
As much as I would LOOOOOVE an IM option, I think it may take up a lot of bandwidth on our poor server...even when we get a new one I don't know if it'll be able to handle it. But if we could have it, it'd have my vote! :D |
That's me. I didn't know what it would be called or how it would affect it but I imagine it would use a lot of power or something to support it. Don't want to cause us anymore trouble. One problem I have it checking new posts and it says to wait 24 seconds and I do, then click and have to wait another 24 seconds more before I can read more posts. I guess when we get a new server that won't happen as often but I'd hate to do much to slow us down or anything. And, I wonder how many more ways we need to communicate than we already have? I hardly know anything about it but does Facebook has IM and things like that? Do any of you ever go on the YT Facebook page and post like on here? |
I think a "like" button would be kinda nice. :) |

I would not want a like button. I have been to lots of sites, not just facebook, where there is a like/upvote/favorite option and Im grasping for the right words right now...idk how to say it, but basically I have seen posts on YT where person A says something, then person B quotes them with a :thumbup: and then person A quotes person B with another :thumbup: and I think really, is that necessary...when used to back someone up during an arguement, it really seems like ganging up, to me. Idk. A like feature could be handy in some ways but detrimental IMHO, in other ways. To me that makes it not worth it. |
