# So what's the point of this 'friends' thing, then?

What do I do with it, and more importantly, what does it do to me?

# What an odd world we now live in
where we are forced to be sociable and friendly, even on that last bastion of the anti-social friendless person; the interwebs. :(

# I think it's good
If you miss a lot of stuff it's a great way to catch up.
Not only does it show your friends recent new threads, it shows what they have clicked "I like" to aswell.

:D

# Does it?
Don't they have to enable that function ("share what you like") in their profile?

# Now I don't know which question you said yes to.
I should avoid asking questions in matching pairs with opposite answers, really.
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Wed 7 Nov 2007, 10:08, archived)
# Well, the answer was the same
Yes it does show what you liked etc. but only if you enable the function in your profile. It keeps track of recent threads from friends without anything being enabled though

/trying to be helpful but rarely seems to make sense blog

# No I dont think so,
I dont know for sure tho.

# Hurrah for that!

Though I often forget to click the 'I fucking love this' link when I like things. What am I like, eh? Like some kind of great forgetful eejit or something.

Someone suggested last night that you need to have someone add you as a friend before you get the option yourself. I still don't have it, so I guess that means I have no friends (sob!).

# I'm in this boat too
Cookie deletion and CTRL F5ing is doing nothing.
Someone friendly come and adopt us as a friend see if that works?
