mrkgnao: Thanks. Tried that to no avail. It also happens in Galaxy and both at home and at work. Not too troubled by it. I anyhow have no idea what the friends page is for.
Matruchus: All the people that you befriended are listed there and as such they are automatically available in chat + you can see their wishlists if they didn't change the default settings. Otherweise I suppose the section was made so you could find gog users and send them friend requests but that has not been implemented yet (thus the friend threads in the forums). Also the invite to game features will probably be there when the store and galaxy (alpha version at the moment) gets developed further.
Most of the people I chat with are not on my friend list.
I try to use the chat as little as possible as I quite dislike it.
I'm not interested in any wishlists that are not public.
I don't play multiplayer games.
Basically, I'm not a very friendly person.
