JaqFrost: What is that number next to the 'account' menu which doesn't seem to reflect forum replies, messages or library updates?
Probably "friend requests that, at the moment, can only be manipulated by the newer version of the site Galaxy sees"

By trial and error, I derived this URL from a URL someone else pasted. Does it show anything useful for you?

https://embed.gog.com/account/friends

Also, interesting note: If you try to load /account/friends in the regular site, it shows a bare "Not Found" message rather than a gogbear.

Nice link, thanks. I had found my pending requests in the forums via guesswork and timing of requests, but the link matches exactly.

Jaq, this will be unclearable for us non-Galaxy types for a while, but hopefully will be sorted soon enough. They're definitely aware of the "ghost notification" issue.

It does seem to show who all friended me. I suppose that gives me a way to tell people I'm not a complete bitch who's ignoring them since I could PM them to let them know I'm not using Galaxy. Thank you for the link!

Maybe when GOG introduces that new accounts overhaul they've talked about?

skeletonbow: I've come to the conclusion over the last 15 years that:

1) The majority of all people with female avatars are male. The better looking the photo, the more likely this is to be true. (Why this is the case is an entirely different discussion topic probably warranting a thread of its own if not an entire website LOL).

2) The majority of women don't use their own photo for their avatar but are much more likely to use a photo of their cat, dog, baby, or some flowers and butterfly artwork with an inspirational quote printed on top in a calligraphic font.

These are of course generalizations and do not apply to all people all of the time, but it is a rather frequent observation on various forms of social media online, especially gaming related. ;) It certainly seems to be true more often than not anyway.

Thank you for the giggle. (Pretty on-point observations, I'd have to say.)
That is funny :) Guilty as charged since I was using a Maya avatar till I went to the gender neutral Flying Eyeball that I use now.

mrkgnao: I believe the friend system is planned for the website too, not just Galaxy; it's just deployed simultaneously first in Galaxy. I may be wrong.
Genuine question - how can something be deployed "simultaneously" and at the same time "first"?

I was getting worried that after 18 hours no one was reacting to my little joke, but I knew I could count on you, especially since you already know the answer: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_galaxy_beta_starts_now_e5bf1/post351

What a pity, for a moment there I got hopeful that GOG had found a way to break the boundaries of conventional time and order.
At least I have the satisfaction of them thanking me for my contribution...

Since I am for months in contact with Daedalic to get a new Blackguards patch I have to ask: is this a real update or just a Galaxy update? I contacted Daedalic yexterday but haven't received an answer yet.

On a side note: always nice to see more official German versions here :)
