Description
If anyone knows of a Greasemonkey script or something of that nature which would produce the same results, please let me know.I personally watch a hefty amount of people here.
Each and every time I check my Deviants ( [link] ) page, my browser comes to a halt just trying to load all of my friends on the same page. This gives me about a 50% chance of browser crash.
I'm hoping to see some sort of implementation.
Thanks for looking.
UPDATE
dA has added the feature! go check your Friends page!

It's already in alphabetical order (though no page anchors for them). I sort all my "friends" by the style they submit most, like comics, painting, fanart (of a particular work), or costumes, etc. It definitely helps me when sorting them out and if I decide to commission someone I can check that section. Besides, if you search with Ctrl + F, you can find almost anything.

Indeed.
The problem is that it is all on one page.
Opening Firefox on my PC is a task all in itself.
Trying to find someone isn't the problem. My attempt is to minimize single page load.

That is a brilliant idea! Especially for someone like me who has a really bad internet connection, so loading things takes forever! (It's the uni one, so not a lot I can do about it!)

that's a really great idea. have you run it past any of the higher-ups?

Haven't as of yet.
I don't want to sound like a dingbat coming up to them with such an obvious feature.

well, you could phrase it nicely. Like tell them that you had an idea for a small improvement, and that many users have told you they would appreciate this new idea being implemented. That way you not only sound humble, but your idea is more valuable.

I like this idea a lot. My browser doesn't crash much (Firefox on Ubuntu) but this could still cut down on load time. Nicely done.

I don't know how many friends you have, but I only got 3 on my list yet.
I like the idea, but when you don't know the exact names you could spend a lot of time searching for one person (except if you tap show all). What I'm trying to say it's not very clarifying. Maybe it would do the trick with the page system.

Currently, all of your friends load on one list.
Picture 1,000+ lines being loaded.
Sure it won't be a problem if your PC is up-to-date.
This feature would definitely cut down loading time.
The only thing I can think of for finding a friend on your list at the moment is Control+F in your browser. That's if the page doesn't crash you.
Thanks for your input!

that's a much needed improvement here in DA, since that part of DA haven't been updated much I think.

The last major update I recall was the alternating colors on each line.

hmm.. thats not much of an update thats just typicaly applied on long tables, mostly used all over the web almost a standard even.

If you'd seen what the Deviants page looked like before, you'd agree it was major.

Ahahaha I visited DA long before, it was kinda messy and I can't undertand where to go or how to get around so I left then a few years later I registered this account because DA is much more understandable than my first visit.
