What is the point of having a "buddy" on the forum?

[rmendoza1]

I noticed a while back that you can add people on the forum to your "buddy list." I'm not really sure what the point of this is. And does the person get notified when he or she gets added to your list?

i have never noticed a buddy list on here before and i've been on fusioncash for almost a year.  i guess i should pay more attention to it.  where can i find this buddy list?

[lbryanwf]

I've never seen anything about a buddy list, either.....More information, please.

[sgluckadoo]

I think there are several features that are not being used (either they didnt work out or were never used).

[sak4kat]

I've often wondered that myself?  Hmmmmmmmmm

[cneimsn]

I've never noticed the buddy list.  Guess I should look for  it.  Where did you find it?

It's a feature which makes more sense if you were allowed to share your email address publicly (you can't) and send personal messages to other members (you can't).  At this point the only use I can imagine is to simply keep tabs on some of your favorite posters.  You can click on their name in the buddy list to see their profile; from their profile you can view their latest posts.  I know it'd be nice to have more features on here, but we have to protect member privacy.

I have never noticed the buddy list either. I will look for it as well and see what it is all about.

  i too have never seen nor heard of a buddy list. i think it would be a good idea for new members to have as a buddy. sort of like a mentor to help guide them when they first start on the site

  You know I was just wondering the same thing. what is the point? you can't send them messages, actually there is know communication with the buddy's list what so ever. I have all of these buddy's and they don't even know it.

Thank you, rmendoza1, for addressing this issue.  I have wondered the same thing, but it was not a priority, so I didn't come into the forum and ask questions.  But this is the perfect example of how efficient this forum really is.  YOU asked the question, and almost immediately, an administrator came into the thread to give a reply.  I've never been associated with a more efficient site or forum.  So glad I found FusionCash when I did!

Thanks for the question.

Thanks for the response.

Wish it was easier to chat with members.

Amen on protecting privacy!
