Friends and family list on home page

Aussieroo

I appreciate everyone is swamped by problems with this new change over and I really don't want to add to it with such a small issue. I have managed to work my way around re organising the site and whilst somewhat over awed at first it has all worked out pretty well the more I get into it. The one thing I have not been able to solve regardless of how much searching I have done. To be able to access friends and family's sites quickly it was good on the old site to have the friends list on the home page where we could click and go straight to their sites. Is this a feature that is not available yet? Is it planned to be included at some stage? Or have I missed a setting some where. I have gone into privacy settings and added the friends and clicked on allow but it doesn't show up anywhere. No rush but if someone could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ralph

I haven't found it either. I did see this article: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93320, but I think it might be out-of-date. Because it says if you want Friends/family to show up on your homepage, you have to click on Homepage Layout and check the Friend/family button. I couldn't find any settings to go along with that. Not sure if this is a bug or if they meant to sunset this feature...

Thanks Sarah. I have found a way around it. It is a bit manually involved but it works. I have added a HTML /CSS box on the bottom of the page and used html coding to add each name individually. Use this code and insert the web link where it says and the persons name where it say.
<a href="http://www.example.com/">Link-text goes here</a>
you can see a sample on my page at http://ozphotos.smugmug.com/
it is a work in progress. I am looking to add text to make it neater and some spaces, as soon as I find the coding for that.

I'd still like to know what the future of Friends/family is. It seems like it's not going away since you can still access your friends/family list and settings in the Account settings. But, I wonder why they wouldn't have made a content block for that? Seems like a good thing to put into the feature request forum or feedback.smugmug.com. Let me know if you do, and I'll add some votes to it.
