There should be a way to add people to a "favorite list

ok i was sittin here thinking. nad i realized that theres always someone on the board that seems to help you and your always all like i wish i could have some way to remeber who they are....well i think that you should make a way to do that....cause i mean i just got my boyfriend to join that way he would have some place to turn when he needs someone too...and i know that hes gonna wanna read my posts and see whats going on....but at the same time hes not gonna wanna go threw and search for just my posts....and at the same time i think it would come in handy when someone needs someone to talk to....you guys should look into it.

I don't think BUS is the best place to have that....
trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters,
but it's a lot harder than it looks because even though
they had the same size feet as us, they weren't looking
down the whole time while they walked to make sure
they were doing it right.

i think it is. i mean considering that no one will ever know your real name unless you tell them, then whats the problem. and that way you can read what that person has as ideas, and etc. i mean i think it would be a good thing to have. and everyone is going to have there own opinion....but who knows....none of us have the ultimate decision.

I think it would really go against a lot of what bus is about. Enough angst comes up over the ranks without having something like this to add to it.

it is available for php but not for the heavily modified version that we're currently on.

i'm on another board which has it, but noone there actually bothers using it.
"Knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and god was not there.The cold,suffocating dark goes on forever,and we are alone.Live our lives, lacking anything better to do.Devise reason later.Born from oblivion;bear children,hellbound as ourselves;go into oblivion.There is nothing else.Existence is random.Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long.No meaning save what we choose to impose."

One thing that he could do if he wanted to read your stuff specifically, is if you click on a persons profile, you can bring up all posts by that person, and he can scroll through your replies and look at those topics.

Or place is a good spot to put your things, and often if people post on main or other boards they'll put a link to other threads in there, to keep track. that might be a way to get around not having a favourites list.

is this "favourite list" the same as the "buddy list" that Deb has been talking about on Main? http://busmail.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=65923

I'm confused.
