|
|
I kind of like the idea of having a buddy list option, and being able to add people to your buddy list (if you don't know what I'm talking about, look at the bottom of my post, and you'll see a 'buddy' button, if you press it, it will say "this member has been added to your buddy list"), however, I can't seem to find this list anywhere in my profile, or in the nation system.
Am I just not looking in the right places, is there going to be a list, and it's just not made yet, or is there no list of who is on your buddy list? _________________

It's being worked on as we speak, and I think you can now see it in your profile. |

Yeah, and that's supposed to be all. I'm really not sure what good this list does to be honest (it's a MOD), but maybe people like to have this sort of stuff... Not sure. |

I think the online mod where there is a button next to the profile and chat buttons with a green or red light informing you if the person is online would be better, because at the moment that is all this buddy system does.
I'll try to find it for you if you want. |

Well, previously people have begged me for a "buddy system" and I've rejected it, but I thought maybe I can do it now. If additional functionality is needed, let me know and I can probably add it somehow. This also gives me additional user variables to work into other stuff (such as the naton system). |

like you i don't really see what the point of it is. i think a gender mod would do better since it'll help if you don't know what the other person's gender is. _________________

erm...I do not think it is necessary to see people's "buddy lists" in their profiles....
I used to go to a discussion forum with a similar buddy system than what is set up on here now...however it was only visible to a person in their Private Messages...
I reckon people used it as a way to start chatting to a person by PM
(an alternative to instant messaging programs I guess)
but..uh..yeah... _________________

I suppose the point of displaying it in your profile is so people can see who you actually consider friends as opposed to acquaintances here. I only added nine people to mine, so it seems like a fair representation. Granted being able to see such things isn't exactly important by any means, but I don't really see any other practical use for the system. The people I'd consider meriting 'buddy' status tend to be the people I respond to anyway, so I see all their posts and know where to look them up without searching through the member list if I want to PM them or something.
Also, I really like Buff's idea of a gender mod. This is the first forum community I've been a part of that wasn't 90% male, so where I'd normally just assume someone's a guy even if they have a feminine name or avatar, here I never rightly know. Of course we'd have to throw in an 'undecided' option for Archy... |

Nah, gender stuff is pretty much rejected here, because enough people didn't like the idea a while ago to make it a bad idea. So it won't happen. |
