Regarding messaging…It would be nice to have a reply button when a PM pops up without having to change to the messages page to answer. This sometimes freezes me up. How about a chime when a new message arrives? And, as long as I’m asking… It would be helpful to be able to delete more than one message at a time and to be able to delete the sent messages as well. 
Good job on the new friend list features. Love it.
Great ideas SeaGypsy - thanks for sharing. I’m going to make a note of them now and discuss it with the team next week.
