Benefits with Friends

#1 Post by WheresFanny » Fri Nov 14, 2008 10:25 am

I've finally found someplace where having somebody on your friends list makes a difference!

In the private message section, the messages are colour coded. Regular for regular, blue for friends and black for foes. I don't know what the messages actually look like, I'm just going from the colour key on the side menu, since I don't have a friends list because I couldn't see where it mattered anywhere.

Or maybe that's just the HK interface?

SOME people don't get PMs, so they wouldn't know...

SOME people might, if they stayed with one username for more than 5 minutes at a time.

SOME people won't miss you--we're talking behind your back! :P

Experiment completed.

Added a friend, they sent me a pm and the colour stayed exactly the same! So much for a friend benefit.

Unless Hello Kitty can't be bothered with changing message colours, but I'm not straying from HK to find out. Ha!

I suppose we could PM beast to see what happens, or I could use one of my 6 million MM during the experiment..........

I'm up for it, I've got 13 minutes left before I have to do anything. I'll grab one of my MMs and PM Boring Mini.

Aight, the default (aka Interface Boring) gives friends green and foes red. The coloured block will show up in front of the subject title of the pm.

Interface Hello Kitty says, screw that, I've got glitter and everything should be pink at all times!

Oh no, I've outed my MM! Ha!

And thus concludes another morning broadcast from a Hello Kitty Paradise Interloper.
