Friends online - bring back the names!

The new Friends online layout sure looks a lot prettier than the old version, but I find it really hard to use. We no longer see names of people online, just teeny-tiny icons showing their heads, which makes it nigh on impossible to recognise anybody - especially if they regularly change their appearance. So far, the only people I can recognise in there with any degree of confidence are striatic and Hburger. Everyone else is a mystery.

I know you can hover over the icons and see the name, but that quickly gets tedious when there are a couple of dozen people in the list. 

Please, please, please, bring back the names.

  • +111. I wrote myself a little script just to hide the avatars and put the text names back. It was driving me nuts.

  • Good Grief, I'm one of the worst offenders.  I change my clothes, my hair, and my skin color at least every test, and sometimes more frequently. 

    I'd like to see the name, and then a tool tip that shows what their current Glitch looks like.

  • Yeah, I've been reducing the size of my screen to force the mobile layout so I can see who is on and where they're at, but otherwise yeah, what dopiaza said.

  • Ping, would you mind sharing your script? It sounds great!

  • This still isn't working for me to see just little cartoon heads that have no connection to the players or their characters.  Wardrobe + Vanity != identity

  • I still don't like it, the only way I tell is to hover over everyone to see names or go to my profile/friends and see who is online, way too cumbersome now.

    Ping, that script sounds like a plan, have you shared it? Please :)

  • +1 I like the sound of both WindBorn's and ping's ideas for this

  • Oh, yes, when they changed it. I often visit Friends page to just see the name of list; not avatar picture.
