Keep "Friends" on the Menu bar- Now with Stoot answers!

Right now, "Friends" has been replaced with "Snaps" on the menu bar. Now I can't search for other players. Could you please add "Friends" back on the menu bar?

  • If you click on 'Profile', go down to where your friend list is, then click 'Show All' it will give you the same thing. ^_^

  • I'd still like it if it were still on the menu though.

  • Or you can
    - Click on "Add Friends"
    - See that "Home >> Friends>>" thing on top?
    Click on it and you will see the search fuction, just like before.

  • Yeah, I liked it on the menu bar too, where a single click could get to your friends list from wherever you were.

  • That menu bar really needs to be customizable.

  • I use the Friends page far more frequently than the Skills page.

  • why not just add it on instead of replacing something with it?

  • On the home page, where your friends are on the right, scroll down to the bottom, the "Friends" is located there.

  • "Friends" is covered--home page and profile. I support "Snaps."

  • I'd like it on the menu bar, too! I use it to find people's streets when someone needs to repair their broken stuff on their street.

  • A redesign of the home page (and later, the site navigation is coming). In the meantime, you'll have to scroll down a bit (or bookmark it, if you find yourself going there a lot?)

    People who go there frequently: what do you go there to do? Personally, I hadn't clicked on it in the last 18 months since it just shows me the same kind of busted list of people it found on Facebook).

  • The search bar, possibly?

  • A big, great unified search box (combining friends, other users, encyclopedia and FAQ) will be added to every page … "soon".

  • To anyone who is worried about the database forgetting friends, or having them forget you, rather. Just go to this www.glitch.com/profiles/me/... and replace glitch with glitchium. 

    Good to hear regarding the search engine. I assume that it will cover forum topics, or not.

  • stoot -- per your question, I use the 'friends' page a lot. As Spineless mentioned, it's the search bar that's most useful to me. This is in part because as an HRR curator, I frequently look people up so I can link to their home street. On top of that, though, sometimes I'm just a nosy cow and want to check out someone's page. Yeah, I could click on their name in a post or chat window and get to their page that way, but a) sometimes that direct link isn't right in front of me and b) I'm a Luddite. :)

  • I use the friends page primarily for the search box.  Not so much for looking up friends as looking up other Glitches.  There is no other way to find Glitches that are not already on your friends list.  

    Sometimes I'm trying to get a little background before I decide how to respond to them in a chat.  Sometimes I'm checking to see if they are likely to be an alt for some other Glitch.  Frequently to see who their friends are to get a sense of their game-play style.

  • + 1 for customizable menu bar.
    @stoot: I use it quite often to search for ppl, say on routes. I use it even more now that we can tp straight from their profile page. I will be very happy to see the link back "soon"! Thanks!

  • Ah, I was going to mention HRR. 
    Posted 6 months ago by Spineless Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I use it a lot for the same reasons that WindBorn listed.  I'm guessing that a lot of us do, listening to the people who were surprised when it was suddenly missing.

  • I find a fun sort of oddity in that the easy way(s) to access your Friends page is from inside the world...

    One: You can access the Friends page (and the search bar) via the drop down menu that appears when you click on your avatar's picture in the top left of the game window.

    Two: If you look at the very bottom of the slide-y tab where your friends are listed (to the left of your bag row, right of the Local Activity) there are two icons.
    One is a single person (Add Friends)... click on it and it will bring up your Friends page in a new tab.
    The second is multiple people (Find Groups)... click on it and it will bring up the Groups page in a new tab.

  • To reiterate: you can also find the link at the bottom of the "friends online" module.

    Thanks for all the feedback — we'll keep in mind when we redesign :)

  • Thanks Stoot! Hope you'll include "Friends" on the menu bar too.
    Posted 6 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oooh, and will we be able to split up our activity on our profile pages further down?

    So, we could separately access:

    -Updates
    -Friendships
    -Snaps
    -Auctions (maybe split from there, once you select it, then select sold/failed.)
    -Achievements
    -Skills
    -Levelups

    The last three could be put together, I guess.  Maybe put it in the API?

    Maybe our own search bar (if no filters are implemented)? haha.

  • I've always wanted to see an Auction tab up there.
    Posted 6 months ago by Eye Wonder Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd love to see a simple Auction breakdown that actually let you go back in time.

    Item, date/time listed, amount, fee, date/time (sold, withdrawn, expired).  Bookkeeping and research are currently almost impossible.  And perhaps customer name, so we can track our best customers.

  • I too use the friends page a lot (for the same reasons listed above) and miss having that listed on the menu bar. I also would like to see the Auction pages listed there. It's somewhat inconvenient to navigate to that page unless you're on the home page all the time.
