GTP AIM buddy icons?

[zeno]

I think it would be a helpful idea to create (using one of the talented photochopper's skills) an AIM buddy icon for GTPlanet, that they can incorporate as their own using a simple link. How does that sound?

I've heard of AIM buddy icons, but what are they exactly?

Isn't that little yellow dude down the bottom an AIM buddy Icon???

A 48 pixel x 48 pixel image that you use on AIM as your avatar.

Aaahhhh. okay.

So what do you guys think? I can help with the HTML code and even at designing it, just let me know if you think my idea would work.

I don't think buddy icons can accept HTML... you'd have to delve into the inner workings of the program to do that, wouldn't you? Plus, most people either turn buddy icons off, or use programs that don't show them (I would be one of those people).

By HTML code I meant the code for the link to work so that when a user clicks it, it automatically adds the icon to his/her profile. But I suppose you are right, most people wouldn't use it.

You can't "upload" the HTML though, or attach it to the pic... Unless you run the AIM servers.

I agree. Oh wait...

No bro, take a look at this page: http://server.imaddict.com/tweaks.php

You can see the different "tweaks" and their desription to what they do. I meant the "HTML code" to be one of those. Sorry for the confusion.

So to make this your AIM buddy icon...

Right?

Just make the GTP Icon, and change the URL. Sounds easy, though I don't know who would use it.

Yes, that would be correct.
