'Find Player' gets Colorful! MsNyxxie
I have a confession to make. I constantly stare at my old dead accounts profiles. I can't help it! I miss my old names, not that I don't like this one! I just like remembering what my profile looked at "at time of death."

This week, upon my surprise when searching for the name "Nyxxie" and (sadly), getting over 7 dead names, found that most of them (but one, of course!) was in a deep red. DID I MAKE ADMIN?!(add ones and elevens there for noob effect)

No, No. BSF2000 and Sabin simply quietly added a new feature to the "Find a Player." Now, when searching for players, the dead accounts are in a deep red, making it easy for you and I to differentiate between which of that friends accounts is alive or not. Saavy?

I saavied!

It was pointed out in a Game Forum thread not far after my own discovery and the poster had ideas for more colors. Although I don't agree with the use of anymore colors to see if the current player is online or not, I do think it may be beneficial to add color to those in hibernation or banned.

So 'git-r-done' BSF! We want more colors!
