ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I am starting a new topic, as the other one has already too many issues mixed in it.This forum has a tool called Friend List, where you can add other members as friends (formerly buddies). Not a very important function, but since it is here, I don't see why it shouldn't work. Here is what doesn't work.I have added another member (cozofdeath) as a friendI go to 'My Controls', 'Friend List'I click on 'Manage your friends list'; the pop-up window says There are no friends to displayif I go to the profile of the other member, there is an option 'Remove Friend'; members that I haven't added to the list have an option 'Add as Friend'So the other member has been recognized as being a 'friend', but 'Manage Friend List' doesn't know it.Is this perhaps related to the other topic, where former "buddies" have been added to the PM Block List?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 P.S. If I click on 'My Friends' on the main panel, the 'friends' members do show. It is just 'Manage Friend List' that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've just had a quick look at this feature.At the moment it appears that friends will only appear in "My Friends" (the link at the top of the forum).The "Manage Friends" link in the profile seems to only be useful for approving friends.I guess this is the way Invision designed it, and is not a bug.But it would make sense to have all the information in one place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks! I found the 'My Friends' link only after I wrote the initial post. From that link it is also possible to remove a member from the list, so I don't think there's even a need for the 'Manage Friend List'.

Chris Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Friends are for life not just for 5 minutes, why you play......'Manage Friend List' is there by default, no point in removing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 What benefit if any does someone get from being on a friends list? Does it mean anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 What benefit if any does someone get from being on a friends list? Does it mean anything?Just quick access to people you often PM to, much like an address book.Means nothing, but as it's there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 In the previous forum version there was a "Buddy List", where you could add a short comment to each listed member ("This is the guy who..."). That was very useful to identify some of the almost 5,000 forum members for one reason or another.The replacement 'Friend List' doesn't have that, so it is pretty much useless.
