Okay, I was too lazy to figure it out when it was "new" what does Buddy |
|
feature do and are their any advantages? Does it let you know when someone has posted - or just let you find their addy without searching threads so you can send a message?

1. It makes a list of buddies so you can go to that |
|
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 05:13 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
rather than search for them...it also reminds you in the middle of a flame war that you actually HAVE buddies on DU :D

didn't there used to be a little buddy icon to click on to make someone a buddy? I don't see it any more... so how does one get that convenient (somebody likes me!?!) little feature turned on?

so I try to click the icon to put you on my buddy list and it gives me an error - says you are already on my buddy list... didn't remember/realize that I have one! So how do I find my buddy list?

14. So to use the list - I have to go into my options |
|
which always makes me think I am about to do something drastic to my preferences - and thus I avoid it... hence why I will have a tag line or avatar for a year at a time.
How inconvenient and unbuddylike is that (having to go to options)... in that time I can just hit search ... or go to my inbox and look for an old pm.

2. it's that icon that's way too close to the profile button |
|
and when you hit it, people get e-mails thinking you wanna be their buddy... not that I've ever done that...:blush:

Like their AIM handle. Those don't seem to exist anymore.

instead of making me feel silly for not figuring this out in the year + since it has been a feature - it has been more 'du lounge edutainment time!'

30. No really.. it's a preference option |
|
Notify via email when you are added to a buddy list? Select "yes" if you wish to be notified when another registered user adds your name to his/her buddy list
Y or N
I'm not insane, I swear... maybe it defaults to No?

37. I was across from the Golfside apartments and the hospital - they changed |
|
the name of the complex around the time I moved.
There was a great mexican restuarant that got taken over by Don Pablos on Washtenaw - used to have great margaritas.

42. now that's depressing. |

there used to be this great greasy diner on washtenaw going towards Ypsi... maybe a couple of lights past Golfside. Did the best omelets... one with hashbrowns, onions, peppers chese and ham (the taters were IN the omelet). Can't remember the name - maybe a man's name within the man. Hope that is still there.
