    Buddy List

    If you go to Quick Links and select Open Buddy List, a small window will appear with your buddies listed:

    You can send the same Private Message to up to 5 of your buddies simultaneously by ticking the box next to their name and clicking PM Users

    NOTE:
    Only one Buddy List window will open at a time. If you click Open Buddy List and it has no effect, it usually means you already have the buddy list open and it has been minimized or hidden behind another window.

    By clicking on the user_online.gif, you can see the User Profile for your buddy and thus see what they are doing right now:

    You will still be able to see any of the user’s posts by clicking View Post (see above)

    You cannot put Admins or Board Guides on your Ignore List

    You will not receive Private Messages from a user on your ignore list.
    The user will not be aware that PMs are not being received by you.
