Starting today you can now make your buddies public and to be seen by all of fotocommunity who you are friends with.
On your buddy list you can ask others to become your public buddy. This user will then receive an email by the system where he or she can agree or refuse your request. Try it out, could be fun.... :)

(Please note that this function is not available for the admin team, we are buddies with everyone anyways :) )

Enjoy the fotocommunity!
