(Sorry if topic already covered somewhere – for once I can’t be bothered “search”ing!)
BBB Profiles show users’ names on the various 4 IM programs, and these are hyperlinks. But – every one just simply “links” back directly to that person’s BBB Profile again.
I feel this is confusing AND needless – why make them links at all ?But if they ARE to be links, they could be REALLY useful if maybe they could be set to do any one of these (each of which I believe is easily possible with at least 1 of the 4 IM programs):
- Send an IM to user (on THAT IM prog)
- Add that user to my list (on THAT IM prog)
- View that user’s Profile (in THAT IM prog)
(e.g. I often like to check someone’s Yahoo Profile, from a YM name shown here. It can be done, but takes a lot more than one simple click would!).

See the attached image for the popup window I get.

APOLOGIES – I try it again now and indeed it DOES show the popups just fine, in all 5 browsers I have available!
I thought I must have been asleep when I made that post, but on checking further I find that – due to slowness of BBB for me – I often open links in new browser page, which DOES appear to omit the popup. But when I click those links “normally” then indeed I see the popups.
So – ISSUE WITHDRAWN
