Ao pager - CLOSED

bazza · #1 (**Post Link**) 01-06-09

I do remember reading that AO pager was being taken away, but I'm sure it was to be replaced by some sort of IRC thingy.

The thing is, I can't find a way to send pagers, but I also can't find this replacement. What's going on? Has the IRC not yet been implemented? I'm hoping it is going to be some sort of AO internal system. If it just links in to MSN or something, I won't be able to use it.

I dunno how to send pagers either

I have had a couple but I dont have a clue where to find how to send one off my own back

Oh right ! I found it now.

Underneath the username of the person there is a ‘send message’ option, it pulls down a drop box and you then click on ‘send instant message to username’.

You used to be able to click their name in a thread, and it was one of the options on the menu which came up.

OK, Marko has just shown me that they do still exist. I'm not seeing obvious links to send a pager against usernames though, as used to be the case. Not so important, the quick links system is fine for me.

The method Baby has described doesn't seem to exist for me. Is it only active on certain forum skins?

I noticed that when i changed skins.

Just click where the arrow points

( on Modern Skin Anyway, not sure if if is the same on others )

That option appears in light grey skin as well. Good spot there BORED. You do have your uses.

Nice one Diddy P, hadn't seen that over there.

Just be careful not to hit the report button

Marko Le Rosso · #12 (**Post Link**) 01-06-09

AO Modern, AO Classic (When it released) and AO Grey all are now carbon copy styles except the colours and graphics may vary to suit.

The wau to send a pager is by either going to the button on every thread as pointed out above, going to someones profile by clicking on their name and selecting "Send Message" from under their user name.

The other way to send an Instant Message (They are not called pagers

) is to use your quick links menu and select "Send Instant Message" this will then bring up a list of people that are online and you select using a tick box who you wish to send the message to. You can also just allow messages to be sent to and from people on your friends list by enabling this within your profile.

Hope this helps.
