What exactly does the friends list on the forums do? Will it give me notifications when my forum friends are online?

 

I know I can see who's online in the chat but I was looking for a way that it would notify me if one particular person was online.

Pvt,

AT the moment I don't believe the friends list on the forums serves a purpose really or delivers notifications. Its not tied into the chat system or any other plugin we use.

 

Someone can correct me if they know something additional but I've never really seen it have a function at the moment.

1stLt, 100% correct.

 

In vBulletin, friends are typically used in situations where the forum doesn't have a full roster or member index posted. It's a way to keep a list of other users that you interact with on a regular basis and want an easy way to find their name, link to PM, etc. On some vB based forums you can restrict PM usage to friends only and a few other forum functions. There is currently no feature we use on our forums where using friends makes a difference.
