Attention TL.net readers:

TESTICLES.

That is all.

oh wait, what I meant to say was:

It has recently come to my attention that there is a feature of b.net that hardly anyone knows about (read: most of the people who I add as a friend). Did you know that if someone who isn't on your friends list messages you, you can add them without knowing what their character code is?

I have added many friends through the Practice Partner Thread. And almost everyone I have messaged immediately responds with "what is your character code?"

you can do this without a character code!

Here I'll show you.

You see, in every IM window, there's a small tab. It might not be visible to the untrained eye. But it's there. It's on the right edge of the IM window:

[image loading]

See that tab? You can click on it! When you click on it, it pops out and reveals the portrait of the mysterious IM'er!:

[image loading]

From here you can right-click their name and Add Friend. It's that easy! OR, if you get a bad BM'er who hates having friends, you can also right-click their name and Block Communication! Excellent for those angsty ladder players who feel the need to express their angstiness when you administer a thorough beatdown and cause them to lose between 1 and 15 points on the ladder!

respond if your mind was just blown (also respond if you already knew about it).

Your images don't work - you need the direct images from imageshack. If you open the link you'll see the direct link in the box on the right.

I know what you're talking about though. I've always known about this, thought everyone did.

Not as far as I know.
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

Yeah, everytime I tell someone to add me, I tell them this. But they're always confused. It is very nifty,
