Friendlist Improvement
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Friendlist Improvementa quick example
A lot of you may not use this feature as may not struggle for room but even then it still is useful to tidy up now and then or just generally see who is being active and who isn't on your friendlist
Another intresting feature if this was implemented would be the option to sort friendlist by recent activity scaling down from recently online to those who havn't been on in a long time (having to option of what way around you want it) with the alphabetical order being a option also.
Hope this is understandable and not too many people mad at my 0 grammer
Regardless of how many people you have on your friend list, it can be difficult to follow everyone. Not everyone posts but are still active. Knowing there is a limit, having filters to work out who is active or who is locked would be VERY helpful. I try to clean my list out every few months but it is SO time consuming going to each profile to see when they were last active. Having a filter to show at a glance is hugely helpful.

If I could vote for this twice I could. I HATE sorting through and cleaning my friendlist for this exact reason. This would make the chore 100x easier.

After the big Profile-Layout update, we also got the option to hide our 'Last Action'.
Something like that on the friendslist page would beat the purpose for people who've hidden their 'Last Action'.
I also support because what if the user in your friends list gotten permanently banned? How will we know? Especially if you have a lot of friends, it'll take a while to find who is banned so you can remove them.
@Klepto : Not exactly. Even if it were the case, you can't see the last actions of people who were last active beyond 15 minutes. I think they both serve different purposes.
On the same note, if it were strictly specific only to the profile page, there'd be no point in having the option to hide it in the first place. People can always just add a user to their FL, peek at their L-A column, and unfriend them (it's really easy). That is unless that person has been blocked by the user. Which is quite unlikely considering most of us aren't prophets and hence can't predict who would do such a thing.
And it's not really ideal to block everyone other than your friends just because you want your L-A hidden when you're away for more than 15 minutes.
P.S. The long banner was probably unnecessary. Oops!
