Description

« Hide

I'd like to propose the addition of an option in the debug - client or world menu for manualy refreshing the friends online list.

I've noticed at times the friends list loads without problem, and then at others it doesn't load at all, and then even at other times it will only partialy load.

I'm unfamiliar with what happens behind the scenes when the initial friends online list is populated on login but, it doesn't seem to be something that would be to difficult to add as a manualy triggered event, (though I could be wrong).

Self prioritizing this as small priority as it will likely become moot once the initial bug is squashed.

This would have to be something done in the client-settings, but I suppose the band-aid makes sense considering just how many times the "fixed" flist breaks down.

A refresh button is an excellent idea, with the issues that people have with the friends list maybe it would be best on the list itself.

With all the reports of flists failing lately, this would be really nice to have right now. The initial bug doesn't look like it'll be fixed anytime soon.

The Web view of Friends OnLine simply is not working. Countless times I check the Second Life Web Site for friends online and then log in to see something entirely different. Right now at 1:36pm CST, 2008-03-08, The Web site showed three friends on line, and when I logged in at the same time I saw five friends online. It has consistently been wrong for many days now. Seems to have gotten worse with the latest viewer release although I don't know why that would be since I assume this is a server side function.
