Should we remove the contact buttons?

[knudsen]

Close race, I wonder how many people use the buttons vs. how many ignore them. I only use IM for biz, and this is my hobby, so I never use them. I'm going to poll my site.

They have an example of the JS drowpdown menu. just go into any forum and click somones user name.

I understand that this may not work for all users.

When I click the username it takes me to their profile, I still see no dropdown. Is this an IE thing?

Hehe, what do you think of that idea though?

Think it would work?

I wouldn't put it on the users name though because new users not familiar with forums would never know it's there.

It is a nice idea, but I agree with djdevon3, perhaps one button that says "Contact" that will open up to reveal the various contact methods...
