Hi,
I have incorporated a new paging system into the forum that lets ONLINE users chat amongst themselves.
A little bit about the pager.
vB Pager is a text-based instant messaging system over the forum between members. Users can exchange short & quick messages amongst each other. Unlike the regular private messaging system, the paged user is guaranteed to read your message (as it is an inbuilt popup) & reply to it. The inbuilt system refreshes every 20 seconds to check for new messages.
FAQ
Q. How do i find the paging system?
A.At the top right of the main forum page is your pager inbox for all received pagers. To page someone, you can either click "Quick Links > Open vb Pager" which displays all online users that have the paging system enabled. Another way is to click on a members profile and click "Send a pager to..." You may also send a pager by viewing posts. The paging icon is displayed as two chat bubbles under the users avatar. Click on this to send a Pager to the user.
Q. Can i turn pagin off?
A. Yes. Click UserCP > Edit Options > And untick "Enable vb Pager"
Q. What happens if the user is away from their machine?
A. The paging system will reply back to you stating "No answer" after a few minutes.
Q. Is this sound enabled?
A. Yes. Click UserCP > Edit Options > Enable sound.
Q. Anything else i should know?
A. Users can only send 100 pagers per day. You can also only send 300 characters per pager.
If you have any questions regarding the paging system, please place them in this thread.
Thanks
