link instead of the default webmessage link? I've tried to create my own links, but confluence doesn't seem to like the ymsgr: tag.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

A more detailed information about this macro can be found at Confluence Extension space:
Have you tried turning on the setting to allow other users to see your ICQ status? Also, it might be helpful to hold the shift key when you reload the page to renew the browser's cache.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Azwandi
