Then with my iPad I went to the origin website. Alternatively you could write down the list of names, but since I had 25 pending friends it was easier to use two devices.

Thanks so much. I know this doesn't affect game play but it looks so much nicer.

I kept looking at the contact preferences.

do you have to block the people or can you just remove them?

Trouble is I have no idea who's on my pending list. I've never been able to open it. Underneath my friends list it says I have pending requests outstanding but I can't click on it to see who they might be, so I don't know who to go and block to get rid of them. It's frustrating.

Minimize the friends list by clicking the arrow so it closes. Then you can click the pending list and see who is there. At least that is the only way it opens for me.

I just cleared my list too! Yay, no more clutter. But wouldn't it have been nice if those people would've just kindly "ignored" me and didn't force me to go to the extra trouble??
