LOL yeah - the whole cookie storage method was weird at first, but it makes good sense when you see what it's doing.
I was going to get rid of the the "toggle" stuff in it, but that would get rid of viewing multiple people at one time.
Anyway, while Stallion's working on the new nifty version, I'm going to put out a new version with the private forum check and another bug fixed (we just worked around it before)
However, the change may "break" your cookies in that a blank row will appear. Just click the clear buddy list link I'm going to stick in there
