I bet if there was a link to "People who hate you" it would get clicked more often :)

freitasm: Some people would have that "Pending friend requests" link in the menu for years and never clicked on that...

I finally clicked it a couple of weeks ago. Before that I had noticed it, but I thought it'd "light up" (like when you get mail) when you actually had a new request in there (i.e. I didn't realise that the option only appears when you have a pending request).

You mean like April 1st 2011 when we put a fake "BAN" button visible to all under everyone's name in the forums?

+1.

I too thought it would be more like the spinning mail icon that appears when you have mail.

Ok, I will put a spinning person next to the spinning mail icon ;)

(Not really, but will make it more visible on next round of updates)

Seriously, this level of communication was telco-grade. You made the change and waited for the complaints.... welcome to the dark side.
