Thanks for that! I haven't looked at my friends page in ages. Which is not to suggest my four friends aren't super cool people!

You know, I wonder why can't they just add a Friends/Chat menu off of Community, instead of burying it under Account. Maybe it's me, but it makes more sense as a Community feature than an Account feature.

Thread derailed... RED ALERT!!!

Because the main site and the forums are connected with staples and double-sided tape, and I get the impression it's a giant pain in the ass for them to change much of anything in the forum software without breaking dozens of other things. It'll probably take them overhauling or redoing the forums to get that kind of seamless integration between the different parts of the site, and I don't think that'll be happening until either Galaxy is more stable and closer to coming out of beta, thus freeing up some personnel (I wouldn't hold my breath), or they hire a bunch more people (and they seem to be perpetually understaffed).
To be fair, the OP's question was rendered irrelevant by Firek attending to his problem, and several people already answered his question helpfully enough, as well.

And the internet too!

Just remember, climate change is only a myth. :P

An actual human being said that; and what's more, he said it without laughing.

Don't you go bragging, waving your massive number of friends in my face! My two are every bit as awesome as your four! :P

Yeah that too, now I'm bored with porn.

Yep. Should've marked @grimwerk as solution earlier. Even though Firek had attended to the ticket before I got to read the replies, I would have contacted him if he hadn't based on that answer. Nonetheless I do appreciate anyone who took the time to answer :-)

No worries. Plenty of people never even bother to mark a solution at all (or even post in the thread again), even if there's clearly been a correct/helpful answer. And in cases like this, where the problem is solved either by the thread creator, or via some outside effect, some people don't like marking a post as the solution if it didn't actually have anything to do with the problem being solved (however helpful it may be). At least you came back! =)

You were polite and grateful. That's plenty enough for me. I had a kind of help debt to this forum, anyway. A week or two ago, I had a problem with a game, and several people were super helpful. Grargar even went so far as to purchase his own copy to investigate the problem himself.

And bonus, this thread gave me the opportunity to brag about my four friends! Those kids on the bus in junior high were wrong after all.

Or use the url [url=https://www.gog.com/u/{USER}/chat]https://www.gog.com/u/{USER}/chat[/url] directly, replacing {USER} with the username.

Or that. :)

Excellent. I just sent SantaClaus my wishlist.

One problem with doing it this way that's occurred to me: if you somehow mistakenly enter a username other than that of the user you meant (whether a typo, or just mistaken identity), too bad -- you're stuck with that user's Chat channel in your Chat page, even if you don't send a message. If you go through the "Invite friend" interface, you'll at least be able to double-check the name and see the avatar before clicking "Chat". Though hopefully they'll soon add the ability to remove users from your Chat list entirely, rather than just deleting messages. Actually, it would be nice to be able to search for users right from the Chat page, as well.
