ICQ button link changed?

Hi,

I have an ICQ number set in this phpBB, and well, when you click that, the NO SUCH PERSON page comes up. ICQ (aol) probably changed the actual link, it is now: http://wwp.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,00.html?to=%25U&Uin=MYUIN

Moved from 'OTG' to 'GFF' and renamed thread.

This seems to be a common problem. I'm not sure but I think it's ICQ's fault.

EDIT:
This URL seems to be the right one:
http://people.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,00.html?to=%25U&Uin=15593564
http://people.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,00.html?to=%25U&Uin=<UIN>

Thanks to ian!, this should now be fixed in the viewtopic screen. Profiles and a few other places haven't been gotten yet, but we'll get around to them eventually.

Hi,

Well, it's still a problem, you have double 25s after .html?to=%

the correct one: http://people.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,00.html?to=%25U&Uin=15593564
and what we have right now:
http://people.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,0.html?to=%2525U&Uin=15593564

...its a strange thing though, as I can see the right link, when I move over the image, but when I click it (or copy the link location), I see the other 25 over there...

Well. It did work this morning. :wink:

But you are right. The string "%" gets replaced by "%25" so that "%25" gets replaced by "%2525".

That's the correct one:
http://people.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,00.html?to=%25U&Uin=15593564

rac, could you please fix this?

Yeah, that's the link I'm talking about. Click it, and you get the no user screen.

Eek!
Now this one is working again:
http://people.icq.com/whitepages/about_me/1,,,0.html?to=%2525U&Uin=15593564

That's weird. I guess peoplesearch at icq.com is kinda broken.

Let's see what the phpBB folks say...
