I hadn't noticed that yet. But I agree, I'd like to see that feature back as well. It was always nice to be able to see who from the site you've climbed with and made it easy to find those people. I'd like to see it back as well.

I used the partners feature often. It was a good tool to find out about someone from a third person who had claimed to climb with them. I used it when traveling and it has landed me more than a few reliable partners and at the same time it has also allowed me to come prepared mentally for the type of climbing I was to do. It is good to know if the person is a solid 5.10 follower, but cannot lead past 5.3.
And I miss my friends....

And another one...
that was one of the most useful features of the site.
Now tell me you wiped off the database...JAA?? :)
And it was cool to see that a friend was online...to PM him/her...a sort of poor man's chat

Is there some way to at least get the list so I can write down their screen names? I had people listed from other places that I do not have email addresses and such for.

i vote for it too. not only it made finding old friednds a breeze, it also enable you to see who you future partner-to-be climbed with so you could pester those folks for their opinion on said person(s).

Agreed. Waited all weekend through the downtime to contact someone and then had do a search for their username rather than just being able to go to my friends list.
But hey, at least there's a wish list so we can mark the stuff we want to buy.

The Friends/Partners list will definitely come back. Attempts were made at having it ready for the initial deployment, but for tech reasons (unknown to a lay-person like moi) it was not possible to have it ready on time.
It is coming though, definitely and without a doubt.

Does this mean the ones that were on our lists willbe there again? Or will we have to build a new one? I had a lot of traveling people I only climbed with once and can not recreate.

That is actually a very good question to which, sadly, I don't have an answer... yet.
Let me find out and I will get back to you on that.

How about the Ignore Post/Ignore PM feature of the old board? That was an excellent feature; now, we all get to wade through even more of the crap that gets posted.

The 'friends/partners' feature was _by far_ the most important feature of RC.com.
I would feel a rather big loss to have lost that list of users that I've bookmarked...people with interesting profiles/posts that I never got a chance to PM/email.
Climbing is much more about whom you climb with than what routes you bag, anyone disagree?
LESSON: DON'T LIVE WITHOUT COMPUTER BACKUPS!
Please bring back the old database!!!

I also agree the friends/partners needs to come back. You also need to fix the search feature. Right now searching by real name doesn't work...and there are a lot of people whose usernames I can't remember...

I deeply miss the "climbed with" and "friends" some of these people are lost to me now. and even if the original list is never found I want to remember people. Lets face it some of these user names are beyond the capacity of a normal memory to retain.

I'm psyched to have this back.. makes PM's and finding certain photos easier..
One question.. any way of getting that float over list again? works nice to preview pictures.. also helpful to take a quick glance at which of your friends is online before going to the full list.

Dunno if you ever got that pm, but since it's such a nifty feature:
Once, by hovering over the "friends online" button, you received a list of the friends online as a mouse over message - without having to change to another page. Made perfectly sense, since this is all information you'd normally need.
Keep up the good work! You already taught those naysayers a lesson...

I figured it wouldn't be.. who knows how long it took TIM etc to write up all the stuff we got used to that you are trying to put back in..
might as well ask to get the ball rolling
