A couple ideas
 

BTW I am very pleased with this forum, as I am sure all of us can agree on that.

But looking at other possibility's,

Is their any way we can integrate skype to provide assistance for those specific topics that multiple person conversations would be helpful. Or even make it an option to contact someone via skype just like aol, icq, ect.

Also, adding a feature that allows us to group people into territories so we can have an idea how many people are around our area. Maybe it is an option in the settings, that allows your location (state or city) to be used in parallel with your user name, to sort users according to general geographical location.

Just throwing some ideas out I know there are some flaws and issues with them but maybe they are worth sharing...

Thanks,

Austin

Skype IMing is already integrated.

User CP>Edit Profile>Instant Messaging>Skype Name

NOTE: We tried to map out members via Frappr, but our growth has been so rapid, that the map is not up to date.

Wow I feel like an idiot, I will enable it right now...

Yeah I saw the map but there is no way to see what members are located around me. Maybe something set up in the forum structure to allow members to post general things based upon location, for instance Pacific north west, southwest, new england, ect...

But Greg thanks for all your help with this and other issues I have had!

Regards,

Austin
