I was searching the forum on this question but was unable to find anything. How do you add people to your buddy list? I clicked on a couple of names and it wouldn't let me do anything from there except look at their profile. Also what exactly is the buddy list used for?
Click on your own profile and you should see 'edit buddies' on the left side of the screen at the bottom of the links to your profile.
It's there for you to add friends so nobody can call you billy nomates lol.
