AuldLangSyne 

AuldLangSyne manages your friends list.

It...

• will remember information about friends and display it in your friends list while they are offline.
• allows you to write short notes about these friends.
• allows you to back up and restore your friends list.
• allows you to synchronize your friends list between characters. (This is disabled by default, mind you.)
• provides a FuBar plugin with all this information, all sortable, with configurable colors. (You can also use the plugin's menu to configure the rest of AuldLangSyne.)

AuldLangSyne is modular. Any and all parts of it can be disabled if you don't want them around.

Things this does better than CT_PlayerNotes:

• Notes can be set to display when a player logs on, and in tooltips for that player.
• You can have different notes for characters with the same name on different servers.

Things this does better than FriendsFacts:

• Has a "compact" mode, showing all the info on one line, and the note on the next.
• Colors class names in the friends list.
• Has options to adjust which bits of friend info get displayed.
• Has been updated for recent patches. Oh yes, I went there.

I wrote this because CT_PlayerNotes was the last CTMod I was using, and I wanted to get some practice writing a non-FuBar Ace2 addon. So this resulted. Yes, I know, it's derivative. But I think I do a better job than either of the inspirations.

If you disagree, please file feature reqests or bug reports so I can make a better addon.

If you already use CT_PlayerNotes, load the game with both addons enabled, and type "/auld data ctimport" to load its notes. (Due to the way CT_PlayerNotes stores its data, you will have to do this once for each character whose friends you have made notes on.)

Auld Lang Syne is the name of a song, mostly sung around New Years Eve, whose opening line goes "should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind." (Literally, "auld lang syne' translates from Scots as "old long since", but may be better rendered as "times gone by".)

In this, as in all things, Wikipedia shall be your guide.

I didn't expect this to be so little known. ;_;
