Trying to put even the simplest ICQ panel on a GeoBuilder page just won't work. Believe me, I've tried many times. I wanted ICQ on one of my pages enough to spend a few frustrating hours trying to make it so. Even if all your code is letter perfect, the panel comes out distorted and the submit doesn't work right.

My conclusion: you have to build a page with HTML and put your ICQ panel on there.

Don't panic: I have a sample page with all the basic page code so that all you have to do is open the Advanced editor and paste it in. The next step is to paste in your copied ICQ panel code where it tells you.
Once you have made this HTML page, you might consider putting similar HTML goodies on it, things like message boards and comment forms. You can call this your communications page, or as I did, your contact page.
