Ideas for Features regarding buddies
We have them but they are useless.

So here are suggestions for adding content to this feature.

  • Send this thread to buddy (ies) button
  • a drop list of buddies near the TO: field in the Send New PM page
  • See what my buddies are browsing right now feature.

  • Buddy or not, that option just seems too obtrusive....can you say "stalker"?

    Probably too server-intensive as well.

    Wouldn't it be easier if you ask your buddies via instant messagers?

    I wouldn't like that as I already have 2 stalkers. So having a such spy feature would be IMO bad.

    There should be some limits on this if it isn't implemented... You could easily flood someone's email box without controls on this thread.

    -
    As I said before, I agree with Sirotnikov when he says that on the main fora page, it would be nice to have a Who's Online Buddy List.

    Good work so far Mark/Dan

    Kass, you are not special. I think Siro has a lot of people on his buddy list.

    I like the tag idea.

    Also, someone else suggested the ability to organize the Buddylist into groups (in my case, Civ3DG, ACDG, succession games, everyone else). Could that be done?

    It's Level's idea, I just refined it a bit. What about lines your buddys can't see?

    You do know that it was a default feature in uBB??
    On the main page, where you saw the names of online users, you could also click a name and see what he is currently browsing.


    As far as people who are on my buddy list - I put there people who I consider interesting and whose posts I enjoy.

    I don't have to be your best friend in the world for it.

    I do update it seldomly though, since, well, it's useless.
