Title: Buddy List?
Post by: clones_rebellion on December 31, 2012, 06:51:55 PM
When you click on someone's profile it says Add to Buddy List. What is that for? What does it do?  :wonder: Thanks!

The only thing I have noticed is that when you have someone on your buddy list is, if they are online you can see their name in bold at the top of the topic/forum amongst all the other names online at the same time. And also it puts an odd little double square icon beside their name.

There's a very short definition in the Simple Machines manual.

"A Buddy List displays all of the members on the forum whom you have added as a “buddy”. This list will also show their online status and contact information if available."

So, I guess it doesn't do much. However, I've been thinking of trying out some of the buddy-list related add-ons I've come across to see if it adds much functionality to it. :)
