It's an utterly useless feature that deserves to be expunged from the forums.

I take that as a no. LOL I tried it once, thought that maybe it would alert you if a particular person posts. Didn’t really see anything useful though.

I believe they (known as the "requester") are legally entitled to cry on your shoulder once a day.
30 per month but can be rolled over into the next 3 months...

It's all in the constitution fine print! Do not accept requests from Kit!

Actually I've gotten requests from a bunch of people but I always decline Tongue

It's less like me not qualifying and more like me saying "Sorry, you don't qualify." Lol.

"Currently it's only real purpose is to quickly see info on buddies, but in 1.6 you'll be able to choose to only receive PMs from buddies. It is one of the less useful features though."
~ Matt, MyBB Staff @ MyBB Community Forums

Quote:It's mainly used for two reasons:

1. Being able to quickly contact certain users and seeing if they're online or not.
2. Being able to quickly select users when sending PMs
