Do you use the buddy list function?

[Elidor]

In all my years at DU, I've never investigated the buddy function. Is it cool? Am I lame for missing out on it?

And let me snub the inevitable copycat right here: Do you list your bodily functions?

1. I use the buddy list. Don't know why. You aren't missing out unless

it is a secret turnon for you to list your buddies...:shrug:

2. we have a buddy function?

I've been here a year and I didn't even know that; I'd like to know what it does, too..

4. It makes it easier to PM people

You don't need to hunt for one of their posts or find them in the main directory.

3. I can't figure out what it is for

I see some names on it when I hit it, but I don't think I put them there on purpose, I think I hit a button wrong.

What do you do with it?

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

5. Apparently, we need some educating on the buddy list

6. No and No

:P

7. I use it!

I think it's cool! It helps for when you want to PM someone but you can't find any of their posts at that moment. You can just go to your buddy list and then PM them that way.

8. Ok!

That makes sense; I just found it. Boy, am I embarrassed:)

[bigwillq]

9. Don't be

embarrased. There's still a lot of functions here I don't use or know how to use!

Still haven't figured out what "Link" does. :hi:

[Theres-a]

10. yeah,what does link do?

:shrug:

[bigwillq]

12. Don't have a clue!

11. I added one

I wanted to remember the person's name one time. I have never used it to do anything with it.

13. I have about ten people on mine

could easily have three times as many.

It depends on how often I PM them or how often I reply to their posts, (or them to mine).
