Buddy Functions
-
Add to Yahoo Buddy List: Yahoo will maintain this list
- This buddy list will be available from any computer, using any software you use to access yahoo chat
- Yahoo limits the number of names that you can have on this list.
- Yahoo will notify the chatter you want to add, telling them that you wish to add them to your list and will give them the opportunity to allow you to add them or to deny the request.
-
Add to YahELite - Local - List Only: The Chatter will be added to a friend's list stored on the computer you are using.
- All friends added under all the nics you use on that computer will be listed on the same friends list.
- You can have as many names as you want on this list
- The list will show the same name twice if it is contained on your Yahoo list and your YahELite list
