Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Has anyone thought of writing an add-in for phpBB that notifies people over an IM protocol (aim, yim, etc) when a topic they are watching has been responded to?
If you / or someone you know has thought about this idea maybe you could share your / their insights?
I've thought about it, but I haven't researched aim communication (from the server) enough. I'm assuming it'd take something like Java or Perl. Not just PHP.
Wouldnt you need to know a little more about AIM protocols than what is public knowledge if you wanted to do that? Since everything goes through the servers.
