I know what buddylists are but I don't see how they can be used on these forums. For example, when I log on to the site, it doesn't tell me if someone in my buddylist is online as well. Also, when I want to PM one of those buddies, the PM section doesn't have a "add recepient" button to add those buddies. So unless I'm not aware of some special trick, I think the buddylist feature should either be improved to add the mentioned suggestions or be gotten rid of.
