Question about board mechanics (shouldn't need an admin) Buddy List?... |
|
So I've been here a minute or 2, and am pretty familiar with board mechanics, 'scept one thing. (for now)

6. TY all! I was hoping I was missing something... |
|
but I guess not. It's useful, just not super-useful.
You know what would be super-useful? On "buddies" only, to be able to quickly pull-up their last 20 posts, or search by topic or keyword on a specific buddy.
