I've enabled forum's Jabber service. For those of you who didn't know, Jabber is another instant messaging protocol. What this function allows for users is to receive forum notifications to their Jabber account instead/along with getting an e-mail. Also users can send instant messages to people that have Jabber through the forum.
Of course, for this function to be useful to you you must be using some Jabber-enabled instant messenger. For instance, Google Talk is based on Jabber, so if you're using it, you're good to go. Alternatively, if you're using any multi-protocol messengers (Trillian, Miranda, Adium etc.) you can use their Jabber function as well.
In order to receive forum notifications and messages, you should add a contact divinity.bot@jabber80.com to your Jabber (Google Talk) contact list. It works without authorization. Also you should add your Jabber ID to your forum's profile. And that's it.
I'm not sure if it's gonna work, but I'll also try setting up MSN transport later on. Doing so should make it possible for users to receive messages to their MSN accounts. But don't put hope much into on this. :\
Any questions?
