sorry if this has been suggested

we can have the software notify us when friends log on.. can we have it *selectively* do that? i have enabling this feature cause of all the popups, but i'd also like to know when certain people come on... whatcha think?

I agree. I'd like to be able to differentiate between:

- really good friends : I must know when they are loggin in
- people I call friends but I don't know them that well - ambivalent about when they log in
- people I have flagged as friends because we once twelve months ago had a good set together in a pick-up game.- not that interested really that they are in the lobby
- acquaintances from my country/ local club but to be honest I can't really stand - not that interested really that they are in the lobby
- good players I like to spec when I am bored - good to know they are in the lobby but they wouldnt know me from a bar of soap.

Perhaps we should have the facility to grade friends on a scale of say 1 to 100, where if an 85+ friend logs on, the computer will emit a really high pitched squeal so I can hear it in the ktichen and come running in.

If a 60-84 friend logs on then the PC will emit a friendly whistle

But if anyone graded under say 25 logs the systems plays a groan like sound.

I think I've covered all the bases there.

After that last post, what about having the system automatically log me off when you log on?

excellent suggestion Hog, or alternatively:

- Switch to 'invisible' when a 1-25 logs on.

That's a GREAT idea.

I have about 900 friends in my friend-list, but I want to know when log on are only 50-60. I have stopped the notification when my friends log on because I over and over again hear BEEP-BEEP-BEEP I hate this voice. :huh:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

dwayne said something about going invisible.. that's another thing i've thought about in the past, the ability to go invisible/visible while logged on.. right now you have to log off to change that

I suggested this somewhere,individually setting of alert when friends log on.

I still think it's a good idea in this thread :)


I would also be happy if ALL Friends and Yellows showed in Lobby view,no matter what display setting,country setting,I would still like to see my friends at all times
