How can i see my friends list in Messages

I just installed Mountain Lion and when I launch Messages I am unable to see my friends/buddy list like in OSX Lion.


Right now it just shows a blank planel with a left search/New message view.


How will I see my friends again? 😕

OS X Mountain Lion-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion

HI,


I can see Tuttle's posted pic.

There is no link in his post.


With a black Desktop to provide not distraction he has posted the Window menu of Messages and highlighted the Buddies item. (Also brought into view by the keystroke CMD + 1)


However if you have multiple accounts in the Messages app Menu > Preferences> Accounts (such as Enabling the Bonjour one and having and AIM one) then the "Buddies" item is a combined List.

Go to the General Section of the Preferences and untick the item about gathering them into one list - which will separate them. You will now have several titles of Buddy Lists in the Window menu each with it's own keystrokes.
