RS-Linkify

Also somewhat off topic since it doesn't relate to the forums, more the website as a whole, but something I wondered if you were interested in doing...
Would you be interested in creating a small overlay (optional) on the side of the forums that pulls friend information from the user's adventurer's log? I'm mainly looking for a graphically pleasing, easy to reference list of friends who are online. Preferably sorted in alphabetical order.
The adventurer's log does this currently, but it's not the most convenient layout imo, and only shows a certain number per page. It could have a small button to update it, or just update every so many minutes/page changes, or whatever you feel like having it do, if you are interested
I realize it would be a lot of requests to the adventurer's log page, or the location that page gets its information from.. Which is why I'm thinking you may not want to do it... That and it's not a forum feature
. Either way, I thought I would ask!
Obligatory Coffee!!

NVM already fixed it.
Whew! Glad you got it worked out
I'm hopeless with spreadsheets and google docs.
@Keighley, it happens that I have been playing around with friends lists. I want to allow RS Linkify to import your friend list once a day for the custom posts. So I'm actually up to date on the whole friend list data side of things.
Firstly the maximum number of friends that can be retrieved is 25, with large lists we are looking at 16 requests just to get the complete list. This is not something you want to do often. The same rate limits that titles/clan names/etc have, also apply to the friends list. It's like they are grouped together, in the sense that the hits among them are accumulative. Too many requests to friends list will get titles blocked and visa versa.
It's not its a bad idea and I can see some benefits, but it's straying too far from where I want to focus my efforts and what I want RS-Linkify to do.
For me it would feel like an unfinished companion app that you can't chat, add, remove friends with. I think looking at how the companion app gets this info would be a better place to start. Maybe one day in future I'll look at it. For now, as far the companion app is concerned, I really don't want to go there

Thanks for the reply, as always
I figured it strayed off a bit too far, but I figured it would be best to suggest it and see!

Oh... I see
Thanks anyway, dear. I wish Jagex would update the core functionality of the forums already.
