Just a suggestion, it works well in Sims Online so I'm sure it'll work here. On my list of friends/contacts/random people I've bookmarked, they're in first name alphabetical order. Would it perhaps be better for the list to be sorted, so that online friends appear at the top, in bold as at present, and offline friends appear below it? Just like this? Avatar 1 (online) Avatar 4 (online) Avatar 6 (online) Avatar 9 (online) Avatar 2 Avatar 3 Avatar 5 Avatar 7 Avatar 8 It would be easier than having to scroll down the entire list every time to see who's about, when their name is at the bottom of the list. Whilst you're fiddling about in there, how about the above, but also being able to sort by first name or last name column? These are all very basic database managment techniques which are quite simple to implement... yet with a good benefit to all players who have more than a couple of people on the list, and don't want it to take over the whole screen every time you look. Thanks for considering  Lewis |

This, distinguishing online+offline, would certainly make the Friends window more like the IM window. I also like the thot of "little" features that go a long way. |

I'd like to be able to display a little note next to each name about each Friend, maybe culled from the first line of the My Notes section of their profile - for those of us who have friends lists that are becoming unmangageable

Or perhaps make an internal sorting system so you could put them in folders like an AIM or Yahoo messenger window. Categorizing the list would help a lot!

Wow i'm so stuck in my ways... I keep using the IM window like this... Seeing which of my friends are online, and even opening up an IM with them so I can click the profile button to give them a tp...  This is a change that might get old farts like me to try something new and easier! |
