I think we should have someway of telling each other that we've added thier friend code.Instead of taking the time to PM everyone telling them that you've added their friend code but just pressing a link that will notify that person
Also a friend list like myspace/facebook
Just so you know Arvin hasn't been kidnaped. He got on the website Today

I'm a disgrace to wii owners... I GOT A PS3!!!!

I like that idea by (i think) duksandfish. It was where it shows checks when you've added someone's friend code. That way you can tell if you added, cause you just check it off when you've done it.

I dont think it was me.... but it might have been. Anyway, yes i think it is a good idea, a system like this site would be very good, but i dont think Arvin would have the time to do something as comlplex, but any features at all would be good :-)

Yeah I think it was Lostman that made the remark originally about this feature. I do want this feature to exist. The only problem is to do it I'll have to program it myself. I want to do it, but it will take some time.

Yes, it would be nice. I have added a bunch of people on brawl but only one has successfully added me back.

PS: It was actually me who suggested the idea, but whatever. :)

I've added almost all codes for both MK and SSBB, and only a few have registered. (I said registered, because they have probably added me, but it hasn't registered yet.)

Basically all you should have to do is place a check box next to someone's friend code in the list, and when someone has added your FC, that person clicks the box, and then that person can see a checkmark next to the person's name that added them and another checkbox available to click so that you can let them know that you added them.
I'm pretty sure that's what the link duksandfish provided was mentioning, although notification by email seems like much, some form of notification would be nice.

Cheers :)

Maybe I can set up something in the forums for this until Arvin has time (as it can take a heck of a lot of time to program things properly!).

I was thinking of a whole section called Wii Like To Play, containing a place for friends codes, tournaments, regular play times, etc.

Consider this feature request completed! I have implemented a new feature on the site that will allow you to register other peoples friend codes and see if other people have registered yours. You will receive a message when someone has added yours and they will receive one when you add theirs. Go to a friendcode game to see it in action.

Arvin is programming King. Sweet. I figured something of such a nature would be extremely difficult and yet, Arvin has successfully done it.

Cheers :)
