I've just looked at my profile. Apparently you can now add usernames for friends and foes. The old WP didn't have that, I don't think. At least I don't remember it.

It's definitely new. Can't say I'm too enthused, feel like I'll be friendless and maybe a foe to a few like irl... :|

If they're adding features like that I'd prefer a like button or something of that nature, not rep or anything that. I post on another forum that has a feature like that and it's nice to get some positive reinforcement once in awhile and it allows you to do that without replying. Sometimes, especially on here it feels like your just writing for yourself.

I hope that we can make some use out of the new friends list. I feel like that too but maybe we can try adding people we like on the forum to our own friends list. Alex had tried introducing a like button linked to Facebook on the old site but most members were unhappy with it because they didn't want their WP posts showing up accidentally on Facebook and wanted more privacy for what they most in this forum.
