How do I add someone as a buddy on BYC?

[daze333]

I am fairly new to BYC. But I have real ALOT of threads. I saw a spot to add buddies to my profile and wondered how to do that. I would love to keep a watch on some friends I have made on here.
Thanks for the help!

Go to that person's profile and click on "Add to buddy list".
