purpose of the friends list?

[Megabyte]

well?

aside from the spiffy little + that is put after the person's name.

I mean...ignore list, obvious, rep thing has been worked out in ways we didn't know it could be.

But the friends list?

[King Koopa]

I don't see any either. At first I thought it was so that you could see when your friends are on, but you can scroll down for that.

"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."

I guess basically it can act as a mass mailer to clan members maybe? Also, i a fdorums with hundreds of members online at once, it might help sort out who you know that is online.

Example:
There are currently 388 member(s) and 927 guest(s) on the boards. Our Record is 1375 on 03-02-2005 at 04:21 PM.

[arendt]

Fantastic! You can spam your friends. Greaaaat. They won't be for long...

[Jonspen]

I wondered what that cross next to their name was.

Anybody care to explain "Refferals" ?

[Jeffery]

Referals is when a person puts your name down as the person who refered them when they signed up.

[Jonspen]

Oh, I see.

I see people like burning with lots of referals.

[Megabyte]

what the? referrals?

[Jeffery]

Referals is when a person puts your name down as the person who refered them when they signed up.
Again.

[Megabyte]

Again.

maybe when they rep you, you get a extra rep point...

[Jeffery]

Nope. Never seen that as part of the calculations listed.
