We made a few changes to the contacts page.
The contacts page has a few new features. The biggest change is that your list of contacts and the list of members who have you as a contact (we're calling
contacted by) are now on two different tabs. Here's an example:
mathowie's contacts,
mathowie's contacted by.
Also, within the contacts list you now have the option of viewing them two different ways:
compact and
full. You can switch views with the View link at the top right of the page. The compact (default) view is very similar to the old view, plus:
- mutual contacts are highlighted
- you can filter the page by relationship (click a relationship to filter to that type of contact)
- you can filter by new contacts that added you in the last month (click show new at the top of the page)
The full view adds everything from the compact plus:
- profile photos from your contacts
- quick links to edit/delete/mail people on mouseover of their icon
- real name and location from their profile
When you change views from full to compact (or vice versa), a cookie is set to remember your preference.
The final change is the activity tab, which is essentially the same thing you see for
your contacts' activity in Recent Activity. The difference is that this is now public, so you can check out
mathowie's contacts' activity (minus filtering and who's adding who among his contacts).
This is hot from the code factory so there are bound to be bugs. Please post them here as you find them, thanks!

Also, clicking on "Activity" leads only to a long list of "ColdChef had a comment with 80-someodd favorites" and "homonculus had a post with 70-someodd favorites" through and through. Can you make my contacts more interesting? Thanks.
