Buddy list?

[brehme1989]

I know what the ignore list does, but what the heck does the buddy list do? The only things I can think of are: a) decoration, just have a list, b) get pop-ups when a buddy posts etc, which I don't find a good idea (specially if you have crazy post buddies, popups all the time )

So what is it for?

I think what you think above is true... I've never tried it before but I think it's true...

b) get pop-ups when a buddy posts etc

In that case, I won't be adding Durai

No idea. I think it just comes as a standard/default thingee as we install vBulletin.

^It's not just with vBulletin, it also comes with Invision Power Board.

As it's name states, it's probably used to keep a list of your buddies.

Gee, I have no idea what the Buddy List actually does, to be honest.

Here's what I managed to get from vBulletin's default FAQ -

What is the Buddy List?

The buddy list is used to keep track of the friends you have made on this forum. By going to your "My vB Home", you'll be able to see which of your friends are currently online, and be able to send them a private message. Adding people to your buddy list also allow you to send private messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking this button in a member's posts.
