If you see a + next to a members username, that means that they are on your friends list, and will be listed on your profile and your Friends & Contacts page in your Settings page.

Or could mean that they are priests, since that is the traditional way that priests sign their names in certain churches. That was my first thought when I saw it here on CH.

I removed a number of people from my friends list some time after joining, and they still have the "+" symbol when I see them logged in or when they visit my page. However, they are removed from my profile page listings. Perhaps this feature could be fixed.

It could be that you are still their friend so the plus sign remained? I don't know if this might be a vbulletin glitch?

I took them off my list of friends. They don't show up on listed friends in my profile but still show the plus sign. Not a big deal, just thought it worth mentioning as it's a bit inconsistent.

I don't think you understood...it could be that those people still have YOU listed as their friend so the connection is still made.

Yeah, I understand now. The MB equivalent of Facebook, a large publicly displayed friend's list for show, rather than being an actual representation of people considered friends.
