Just so we don't bog down the "feature issues" thread or the "ask a mod/member" with too much feature-ridden chit-chat I figured I'd start a thread so folks can discuss all these nifty (or not so nifty) features and ask questions that may not necessarily require Darren's direct answer.
Personally I'm still trying to figure out what the difference between a Contact and a Friend is and why the two options exist at all. Why not simply subsume the contacts into friends? Why keep them separate? Especially since vBulletin doesn't keep them separate. There's only ONE list for Friends/Contacts and you gotta look close to see which is which. I already requested that Darren find a way to separate the two, but I doubt that's gonna be possible. So does anyone know if there's a FUNCTIONAL reason to have them separate? Granted, there are some people I'd like to keep tabs on without actually friending but I wouldn't be that upset to see the contacts option done away with entirely.
Anyone else?
