LJ says: "You're using the old version of the Friends page — switch to the new one and try to customize it."

I like that "try to."

Almost as if there is an implied "We dare you" after than!

That brings to mind the labeling on those little packets of Planter's Peanuts:

"Caution - may contain peanuts."

It's that "may" that worries me.

A further example of mystifying peanut packaging.

Yes, go ahead, make my day - just you try to customize it.... Somehow I hear my mother's voice, after I'd done something I'd been warned against, with the anticipated dire results - "So are you happy now?" This comment, usually delivered while I was in floods of tears, was obviously rhetorical.

Previously it just chided me that I was using the Old Friends Page and wanted me to use the New Friends Page -- without telling me WHY I wanted it. Truth is, I like my Old Friends, I don't need any New Friends. At least at the moment.

Amazing how much difference there is between "try to customize it" and "try customizing it." One means "attempt," the other "appraise."
