How to remove friends (with no photos uploaded)

Hi.
It happens regularly: people who used to be FTers suddenly decide to delete all their photos from the site and then one is left with a blank which one cannot erase. I mean: to remove a friend you must go to this person's page and click the remove friend button, right? But when one tries to access the page, there's nothing there, no button to click, so how do one gets about it? I have a few of these, I would like to get rid of, specially because there's a limit number of friends (which I don't know the exact figure) and these are just being there occupying the space! Can you help me? Thanks

Just use:

http://www.fotothing.com/myfriends.php?action=del&friend=StuBoy

And replace "StuBoy" for the friend you want to remove.

Or just click on the link and remove Stu :)

Another way of doing the same thing is to click on your own profile.....then on the address bar change your own name to the one you want to delete.
That will take you to their profile page which is still there even though they have left.....all you have to do then is click on remove friend and its done!

I know its a longer way round, but come the day when you want to delete someone but can't find the link in this thread....it comes in handy to have an alternative! :-))

I had thought I remembered Stu posting that once... hence my choice ;)

Right, that's it !
I'm adding you to my friends list just so I can delete you.
