You can acess your Buddy/Ignore list via the Button on top of the forum.. There you can manually add who goes to what List (Explanation of groups below) You will also now notice three smileys below each members name in there each individual posts.. Put your cursor over each smiley and it will tell you exactly what each smiley does.. One adds user to your buddy, one adds to your ignore, and one adds them to your disallow contact list.. Those same three smileys will appear next to each member in the Memberlist so this is another way to adding users to each list.. One last way to add users is via there individual Profiles.. The options will appear below there profile..
Buddy List Features:
-A "Buddy/Ignore " button is available on top of the forum. Clicking it launches a new
window that lists the user's buddies and their online/offline status.
-You can be alerted when your buddies come online or go offline (requires Javascript
being turned on in your browser).
Ignore List Features:
-When User A is ignoring User B:
-User B cannot view some of User A's contact information (PM and email links) in
the member list, topics, and profile.
-User B cannot send private messages or email (via the board) to User A.
-User A will not see User B in the member list or "who is online" list on the
board index and will not see User B's posts in topics.
-User A will not see topics started by User B if they have no replies or only one
reply (which has to be by a user ignored by User A).
-On pages that hide something regarding User B from User A, User A will see a link
that allows User A to view the page including whatever was hidden.
Disallow List Features:
This is a "disallow contact" list, which means users added to this list cannot
contact or view contact information via the board. It's like a lesser version of an
ignore list, for those that just don't want to get PMs from an annoying user.
-When User A has listed User B on User A's Disallow List:
-User B cannot view any of User A's contact information (PM, website, and email
links, and instant messenger information) in the member list, topics, and
profile.
-User B cannot send private messages or email (via the board) to User A.

So, I think I'll use it not for "buddies" so to speak, but specifically for the staff, mets, Hou/Galvers, coastal GOMers, and other major weather posters of interest during the tropical season. Okay, that still doesn't narrow it down much, does it? LOL!
