Xbox.com shifts friends list back to single page

During the Xbox Live service maintenance yesterday Xbox.com dropped off and back on Planet Internet. While we were aware the update to Xbox Live was simply back end additions in preparation of the next dashboard, the NXE, few people expected a major complaint would be addressed for Microsoft's Xbox site. During the Xbox.com redesign a few months ago Microsoft decided to separate friends through multiple pages instead of keeping the Friends List to one long list. Well, by popular demand, the separated friends pages have been removed and everyone you know and game with is on the same page when you log into your account on Xbox.com. It's a small change but we're happy. What changes would you like to see on Xbox.com come time for the New Xbox Experience?

I feel the same way. I remember a while back that I had less friends and I wondered if they left my buddy list or if something was wronge with my account. Just to notice that there were more pages and then found the rest of my buddies. Since then I have gotten used to it, but still am glad the the single long list is back...yeah.!

I actually prefer the multi-page style. I agree all online friends should be on one page, but having offline friends on multi-page is easier and less cluttered for me.

I'm really glad it's back to an entire list. Makes it so much easier to locate friends, instead of having to guess what page they may be on, if they're offline.

I agree with what he said.

While they're "changing" things, how about letting us compare games with several friends at once, perhaps with filtering options like "only games we've all played" or "games with more than 500 GP"?

That's be sweet, I think.

I wouldn't mind if you could rank your friends like have top friends that you always play with, but might be at the bottom of your list because of whatever order they decided to put them in, puts them at the bottom of your list.
