Friend Check!

I think we should be able to see who has us added as friends in addition to seeing who we've added. I think it would be a useful touch.  smile

Re: Friend Check!

You get a notification if someone added you. And the feature to see who you added is on your profile and has been there since day one of scratch. Which was in 2007.

Re: Friend Check!

You can do it by doing doing this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:http://scratch.mit.edu/users/showfriends/+YOURUSERNAME

(switch "USERNAME" with your username (not caps))

Yes, but what if you want to see a list of who has added you? Maybe you want to know how many?

I'm not sure that's the most reliable way to check. Personally, I'd like to be able to see that on my own profile  smile

I'm on about 540 - though I stand by that the numbers are quite inaccurate.

That does not work for me. It says theres only 89 freinds but I know that at least 129 have added me a a friend (I keep messages that say someone has added you as a freind for this reason)

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

That feature would be nice, but sort of pointless.  hmm

Like I said, I'm positive it's horribly inaccurate.

Do you mean I have more than 33 people who added me to my friends list?  big_smile

Or less?  sad

I'm on about 540 - though I stand by that the numbers are quite inaccurate.

Incredibly so  lol  If you go to the last page of results, show the omitted results, then go to the final page of those, you get the true number... I'm on 191, and you're on 196 (you're winning Dx... not that it's a competition or anything ;P).

Methinks that search must only pick up recent additions... I searched for someone I know from school (Andrew123456789), and it didn't yield any results... yet he's the first person on my friends list, and on at least two others...

That's odd... It says there are 582 results at first, but then repeating the search with the omitted results included says there are 196. Odd  hmm

Perhaps it's something in the way Google predicts the amount of results..?
