My profile has almost 15,000 friends on it. I want to subscribe to maybe 10 of them so I can keep track of my closest friends, but the way MySpace is laid out, there is no search function, and I have some 400 pages of friends to sift through. Impossible.

Is there a URL code or something that I can use to subscribe to individual friends on my list by Friend ID? I doubt anyone has bothered to find out, but I'm not nearly as sharp at code as some of you and it's endlessly frustrating to me Sad

You could always start a separate page for the people you are actually friends with. But Hot2nas alpha idea works great too.

What is the alpha function, exactly?

when you are on myspace, click the HOME view, then

View: All | Online | New | Birthdays

then click All

then the alpha comes up:

#ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Tuna...the other white meat!

What I see is this:

http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends&friendID=MYID&MyToken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

No Alpha. And even if it did, how could I use it?

Maybe this code from the page will help - doesn't help ME but who knows.

<td class="friends_ItemTemplate">

    
<div class="picBorder subscribed">
<span>DISPLAYNAME</span>
<br />
<a href='http://www.myspace.com/MYSPACEURL#FRIENDID'>
<img src='http://a697.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/21/WHATEVER.jpg' alt='DISPLAYNAME class='ProfImg'/>
</a>
<div><input type="checkbox" name="UserIds" class="checkbox"
onclick="ClearSelectAlls(this)" onchange="ignoreUnload = false" onkeypress="ignoreUnload = false"value="FRIENDID" checked  />
<span>Subscribe</span></div>
</div>

   </td>

anything in caps is mine.

*sigh* No, there is no search function when you have over 2000 friends. I can't just look, or I wouldn't be asking. Sad

The ID doesn't seem to change, cuz it's done through a different kind of interface.

if you know their name, can you utilize the alpha function:

#ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

It may seem like a dumb solution, but maybe you can delete friends? It would solve some of your problems.

Yes, there is. First, log on

Then click on "Edit Subscriptions"

I'd select all, and unsubscribe from all friends.

I just looked, and you can search and find certain people.

It may take a few minutes to go through all the pages, but if you don't want to see all of the needless updates, I think it's worth it.

I haven't played with it much, but if you want to give it a try for yourself, pay attention to the URL when you do one the normal way, copy it and paste it somewhere to save, and see if changing the friend ID works

"How do you know I'm mad?" asked Alice.
"You must be", said the cat, "Or you wouldn't have come here"
