Updates II. Prologue I am mainly looking for supporters, but questions, comments, and suggestions are great, too. III. Summery Ok, so my idea is to have a categorization of the friends list. This would allow the nice and the social people to keep better track of all their friends. This could also help indirectly for clans, as you could have a category for your clan members. IV. New Buttons In my idea, the friends list would have two new buttons, below the "Add Friend" and the "Del Friend," named "Add Group" and "Del Group." These buttons would be used to add or delete a category in the list of your friends. They would ask you for a name, and would create/destroy the group with the corresponding name. If you were to destroy a group, the friends in that group would be sent back to the "General" group. Also, you cannot destroy the "General" group. V. Collapsible Categories Also, there could be arrows at the right of each group name that would be used to show/hide that group for better viewing of your friends (see pic below). So you could hide some groups to make it easier for you to find the friend you are looking for. Update 12-12-2005 at 1:49 AM Forum Time: The arrows could also be colored to show if any friends in that group are online. If at least 1 person is online in that group, the arrow will show up green. If no one in the group the arrow belongs to is online, the arrow will show up red. VI. Categorizing Friends In order to assign a friend to a group, there should be new right-click options when right-clicking on one of your friends. These would be called "Move To {group name here}". There would be one of these options for each group you have. Then, when you click on this option, the friend you have right-clicked on shall be moved to that group. Also, when you add a new friend, there should be an option of which group to assign the new friend. VII. Pre-Set Categories There should, of course, be some pre-set catigories like "Family", "Friends", "Buddies", "Buyers", "Sellers", and maybe even "Clan Members". (There would also be the "General" catigory which is always there) VIII. Ignore List This whole idea should be implemented for the Ignore list, too. Same exact thing, but with pre-set catigories like "Annoying" and "Rude". IX. Pics The Friends List with this idea implemented. An image of the right-click menu of a friend on the Friends List.
