Change up the Add Budy dialog a little bit, this hopefully makes it a bit cleaner and a bit more obvious what some of the fields do. At very least it shouldn't be any worse. Further helpful changes and/or suggestions for replacing the "Add a buddy." helper text welcome. Also, only show the Online Buddies and Total Buddies items in the group tooltip when there are more than 0 online or total buddies.
