Inflate your Upload Space

It reproduces your buddy list with a checkbox next to each name, so you can pick and choose who gets your message. Apparently you can only send it to 5 people at a time though. "Select Buddies (Max:5)"

I thought there was a limit, but I didn't have the requisite number of buddies to test the feature's limit.

Thats what the heading at the top says. I haven't really tried it out though.

Ok, it does enforce this. Might be something for subscribers to get as a benefit - although to be honest this has never been an issue for me yet.

Yeah I think civgroup private forum moderators having the ability to PM everyone in their civgroup would be a great addition!

Ah it's not so bad sending to 5 at a time.... you might need to send it a few times, but that's OK.

The REAL annyonace is only being able to add 2 or 3 new buddies at a time when you get to a critical limit of maybe 20. It takes me forever now to add new buddies.
