This could be something wrong that I’ve done, but the ICQ instant messaging system from teh SDMB isn’t working - I get a 405 error.

**Duck Duck Goose** the little flower under mine and **Tuco** ’s name is the ICQ button. It’s designed to send an ICQ message to that poster.

Sorry not name (I can’t see it in the post compose screen so I had to guess). It’s under the location and other details.
