First, thank you for fixing the script for those of us with vanity IDs - it correctly grabs the friends list now.

But I noticed that only 400 of my friends are tracked. I verified this 2 ways:
1) I looked at the Firefox greasemonkey config value "greasemonkey.scriptvals.znerp/Facebook Friends Checker.######### friends" and counted the instances of the "name:" field. There are exactly 400 names.
2) I grabbed the same URL that the script grabs "http://www.facebook.com/friends/ajax/friends.ph..." and saw the same 400 names. It appears the page only shows 8 pages of 50 friends each.

I have 500+ friends, so not all of them are tracked.

Cheers - Steven

Ok then. I don't really know how to test this issue to be honest. I'll have a look at it at some point during the week.

seriously? I have 1500 friends so you're saying it isn't going to work with >400? I know it worked on my wife's page but doesn't seem to be doing anything on mine.

If you have over 400 friends, only the first 400 (alphabetized by first name of all things!) are remembered. If you add a friend who appears in the first 400, the 400th friend is shown as no longer a friend (since it is pushed off to place 401).

.. makes sense. I've had a half-arsed attempt at finding someone with 400 friends who might let me play on their Facebook account for a bit, and hopefully I should find someone at some point. I will look at fixing this as soon as I can ... either that or I should gain another couple of hundred friends myself...

hi znerp!

I have more than 400 friends also and am willing to test out your script.

Have tried some tinkering and snooping around on my Safari browser, and I found that there is another php that facebook uses for large quantities of friends. www.facebook.com/friends/ajax/superfriends.php?... gives me a list of all the userids (numerals only) and is able to give more than 400 friends at a shot. Hope this helps!
