== How it works ==
== How it works ==
Simply go to the {{AniDBLink|buddylist|My Buddies}} page and enter the username or <tt>uid</tt> of the person you want to add in the "Add buddy" form. This will create a request to the other person to allow you to have him listed as your buddy. The other person will have to accept your request before it becomes active. Pending requests can also be seen and granted/rejected on this page. For the relationship to be mutual the other person has to request to be your buddy as well.
A privileged user is a Buddy where only 1 side added the buddy relationship. This means only 1 side gets the extra buddy access permission if used by the users. The other user will get treated as a regular user
==Tabs on the My Buddies Page==

On this tab you can see the list of buddies that you have. The table contains the following information:
* Date - the date when you accepted the buddy request
* Name
* Friendship - mutual means both you and the other person have each others as buddies; one-sided means that the other person only has you as a privileged user.
* Taste - the taste setting determines if the recommendations of this user are shown to you. Currently there is no difference between unknown and similar.
* Last Online - the time when your buddy last visited AniDB.
* Anime - your buddy's anime count

* Files - your buddy's file count
* Size - your buddy's total file size
