Hey with all the site updates & everyone looking out for stuff I think I might have found one for you to investigate on the right sidebar at the top the yellow buddy list link takes me to a blank page when I click on it! It sends me to this Url http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/p...hp?do=editlist
Hope it helps!

I am confused by the whole buddy/friend thing in general. What does it do besides insult you ("AndyBarnhart has no friends")? I was going to add a couple of folks, but the system tells me they don't have any friends either |

I was mostly joking, but I don't know what the feature does and the few lists I have looked at all are empty like yours: 
I see the same thing for DaveO, SawDuster and cskipper. Those are some I looked at because I figured if they were likely to have several if the feature is used. | |

You can add Buddys and Friends in your profile. Go to User Settings in the Sliding Menu (or User Settings in the top menu Bar) and click on Edit your profile. Then click on Contacts & Friends. Contacts = Buddies; Friends be friends.

Your friend list also appears empty. I am not picking on you; I just wonder what the feature does and if anyone uses it. | |

I had not used the Friends feature before (it is new with this release that Steve has just put up on the system), but it goes one step further than the Buddy list -- it notifies your friend by PM when you submit the request and they must confirm it to add tem to the list. Buddies are anonymous. I have added two friends to my list this morning since we exchange off-forum emails on dust collection, but they won't show up on my list until they confirm.
In all honesty, I don't know of anyone on this site that isn't a Buddy or a Friend!

Guys, let me fix a few more bugs and then I'll try to explain what that is all about. But for now think pf friends as the replacement for Buddies. The unfortunate choice of phrasing by vbulletin is something that's easily changed.

Sorry; I didn't realize it was new. I only started looking at after reading this post.
Yes, every one on this site is pretty friendly but I definitely find there are some kindred spirits I communicate well with and others that are polite, but don't seem to interested in cultivating a friendship with a penny pinching wood butcher that has an oddball sense of humor. 
BTW, I just noticed that I do have a little link "Notification" that says I have a friend request, but it did not send me a PM/email and I didn't get a message box popping up like I do for a PM. | |

Ok, the buddy list has been renamed the Contacts & Friends List  The link now works. But there is no indication of which is which. I'll make that change later.
Both Friends and contacts in the on line users block are marked with a "+" Again, I'll change that display to, so that you can differmtiate between contacts and friens.

Just seemed like a reasonable cross section.
There are a handful of people I communicate with most and I probably will add them to get the quick PM feature. | |
