The buddy list gives you the option of keeping track of the friends you have made on this forum. By going to your "My VB Home", you'll be able to see which of your friends are currently online and be able to send them a private message (Private Messages are explained in a separate FAQ.). Adding people to your buddy list also give you the option of sending private messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking this button in a member's posts.

Ignore lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not to read. By adding someone to your ignore list, those messages posted by these individuals will be hidden when you read a thread.

You may access these lists through your personal profile settings.
