Click on another forum member's profile and look at the "Friends" box on the right side.
Notice what it says if there are no friends linked.

shadowpr · 11-06-2008, 04:02 PM

you haven't made any friends yet....

I'll be your friend.

TwoRails · 11-06-2008, 08:46 PM

I just added to your "friends" list... but it's not showing?? I've never looked there... but I will now

bailey · 11-07-2008, 02:08 AM

shucks, I've been here sence Feb 1999, and over 10000 posts and I have no friends eather.
guess its just me.

liambl · 11-07-2008, 04:03 AM

I've always looked at the "You havn't made any friends yet" text and thought that that is quite harsh. At least it hasn't shown that for me in a while.

EzyStvy · 11-07-2008, 07:55 AM

I still can't view user profiles from within a thread and using IE7

I can view profiles from the who's online section

I fired up my only other browser FF Portable and viewing profiles from within threads worked

ps. this all started after the recent upgrade here.

faulkner132 · 11-07-2008, 01:46 PM

Well, I probably won't have friends for long.

We're friends.

They're showing now!

David M · 11-08-2008, 09:50 PM

Could we add an enemies list? I think I might have a few of them already.

faulkner132 · 11-10-2008, 10:26 AM

Why not? It could be worded the same:

Quote:

faulkner132 has not made any enemies yet.

'yet' should be emphasized...

doubledragon5 · 11-10-2008, 11:57 AM

I have no friends either (nothing new

) and I can't find it in my own profile..

**HAL9000** · 11-10-2008, 12:15 PM

I'm getting lots of enemies from fraudsters that call me.... only one death threat so far

It's over on the right hand side, not too far from the top. I didn't even know it was there until this thread

- you just might have a couple now!

doubledragon5 · 11-10-2008, 04:00 PM

Thanks towrails, and shadow...

MaxRat · 11-10-2008, 04:28 PM

LOL....

I always thought this was funny....

why would you want to add people as "friends" in the forum....if you wanted to chat with them you either PM them or IM them...what does adding friends do...?

I never look at that either...

I was at another forum I referred one of my other forum friends too and he noticed I was a member since 06 and had no friends and he asked me about it....I just laughed and moved on....

I asked him...."you're in my IM what more do you want...?"
I guess it's an extra feature....?

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Heck, I dunno....I've been here over 6 years now and never noticed that either until now.

***glc*** · 11-11-2008, 08:39 AM

It's a new feature that the last upgrade added. I haven't found a reason to disable it.

juppy · 11-12-2008, 02:31 AM

I guess that's a good reason why nobody ever noticed it before, eh?
