There’s a column on the right hand side with friends: but it’s not showing all my friends.

Where are all my friends?

The column on your right is for chat.

To see your friends, click on your name at the top of the screen, and then on “Friends” between the “About” box and the “Photos” box.

Yeah. That did it. Thanks.

ETA: After 6 years I have 108 friends. I’m a rock star, right?

Ha, I popped into this thread to see if there was an easier way to find my friends. It has never seemed logical to me to have to go to your public profile to see your friends list.
