"buddy" list?

[Deltaten]

Jen/Admin/RKIs:
So just what is a "buddy list", and what benfit is there? See this in profiles and wondered; why would I want to add someone to a list if thier already on the files? Better to ask ahead of time, and avoid making a mess of it. Also, does the list disappear if/when I wipe cookies out as per my w/e "clean-up"? Do I need a secret decoder ring to access the list? :D
TIA,
Paul

Your buddy list is just a way for you to add people to a list in your profile so you can quickly and easily PM them.

Afaik, the person you add doesn't get any kind of special notifications etc about their being added. Once they are added you'll see a 'Buddy List' option above your current PMs, you click that and it shows all the members in your buddy list with a link to PM them.

It might be cool to have the "buddy list" also provide a quick link to all recent posts of your "buddies". ???
