I was looking through my friends list and spotted this:Some of my friends (well more like acquaintances, but you get the picture) are displayed in the list, but don't have a Friends button and the link on their name links back to my friends list.I can think of the following explanations but none of them make complete sense:They are people I've sent a friend request to that haven't responded yet. I'm not convinced by this as I'm sure that in at least one case they contacted me.They no longer have a Facebook account. In this case I would expect them to be missing from the list completely.They've blocked me. Again I'd expect them to be missing from the list. (I'm not bothered if they have blocked me - as I said we're more of acquaintances).Is it one of these reasons or something else I've not thought of?
Why have some of my friends have gone missing from Facebook?

I looked on my Manage Friend's list and found similar people. However, when I click on their names, a dialog box with the following message appears:This account has been deactivated. Only you can see {friend's name} on your friends list. You have the option to unfriend {friend's name}.However, my friend's page looks different than yours, so there could be other reasons for this. Given what I'm seeing, it looks like 2 is the most likely candidate.
