LJ Friend-Of Unhide

This scripts restores the Friend-of info in profiles of LJers who have chosen to hide them.

There are LJers who choose not to display their "Friend Of" information on their user-info pages. This script restores that information. For userinfo pages where this action is triggered, text "(hidden)" will be present below the Friend of/Also friend of label. Known differences from regular Friend of/Also friend of lists:

1) No limit to the number of friend-ofs. No truncation of the list happens for big lists.
2) Even friend-ofs banned by the user appear in the list.

Limitation:
The data from fdata.bml can be stale for very small periods of time. This can cause discrepancies in what is displayed for a certain period after one adds or removes somebody as a friend.

Update(Nov 13, 2005): Bugs fixed. Update(Feb 15, 2006): Updated because Livejournal's cookie policies and formats changed. The script doesn't use the cookie anymore. It instead picks the current user's name up from the DOM tree. Update (Feb 19, 2006): Updated to work with the Dystopia and Lynx schemes. (I thought the XColibur scheme was all there was.) Update (Feb 19, 2006): Bug fixed. Update (Apr 29, 2006): Fix. Script broke because LJ's XCalibur format changed. Fixed. Update (Apr 29, 2006): Modified to include URLs of the form http://users.livejournal.com/*/profile

This script no longer works. LJ update screwed it up, I guess?
