This is a QotW answer Suggestions for improving the 'friends' facility.
There should be an icon in front of a person's login name if they are a friend, fan or both. Currently, on /board, /talk, and /links, there's just a bit of text afterwards, and on QOTW, there's no indication at all. An alternative to an icon would be to change the link-colour and visited-link colour. For example, normally, it would be blue and purple (like it is now). If the person is a friend, it would be green and brown. If the person is a fan, it would be light-blue and light-purple. If they're both a friend and a fan, it would be greenish-blue and dark greenish-blue. Another alternative is to just change the text-background colour of the username using the CSS ‘background-color’ property. Perhaps this could be extended to show if a user is also a b3ta moderator.

On the ‘friends listing’ page, there should be something to say if they're also a fan (perhaps use one of the ideas mentioned above). Likewise for the ‘fans listing’ page (although the radio-boxes currently indicate this on the fans page).

On the friends' activity page, if a friend replies to a QOTW answer, this should be mentioned too.

When viewing the QOTW, if an answer has a reply by a friend, there should be a little icon next to the 'replies' link to indicate that a friend has replied.
