Buddy List Problems

[Shogun Gunner]

I use my buddy list -- since it's useful for seeing if demogame teammates are online or if a PBEM opponent is online when he hasn't played his save!

I don't know if this is a known problem, but apparently, for the last entry on your buddy list -- your name/avatar will not show up in that user's profile.

The following posts show screenshots testing the cause and effect utilizing the account of my very good friend Phillwerner. With his name listed once, but last on my buddy list, I don't show in his profile. When I add another username under Phillwerner, then I'm visible as a buddy on his profile. It can be any username, but for the purposes of this experiment, I just added Phill's name again - listing it twice.

This screenshot shows Phillwerner's name as the last entry.

hehe - you do keep some strange company old chap

[Shogun Gunner]

Yes, your name is towards the top, is it not?

I sure hope you wouldn't be talking about my friend Phillwerner

Exodus Phoenix is still around?

Most excellent! I had that problem too. Adding the last one twice fixes it. Now if Mark could fix it...

[Shogun Gunner]

So I guess we are sticking to the workaround then... ?

I might have to "Verto" the situation.

using DL's to find Poly's bugs

[Shogun Gunner]

Perhaps a DL, but not mine. I noticed mr phillwerner was on a lot of people's buddy list, so he became the subject of the experiment.

One could argue there's finally a meaningful use of DLs

PhillWerner has me on his buddy list too.

It may be easier if we find out who's not on his list.

[Atahualpa]

Also check out the first one, you should not be listed on his profile page as well.
I went around that problem by adding Mark and Ming as first and last on my buddy list
