Post by: iiMTF on August 29, 2014, 09:26:50 PM
I have no "buddies". I feel lonely.

Will you be my buddy?

I'll be your buddy, sweetie. :)

But you can only have one. The buddy list has been broken for a while.

I think it was due to a software upgrade of the site, which made the buddy list part incompatible with the rest or something. Well, that's my guess. I know next to nothing about how the technical aspects of a forum work.

So you better choose your buddy carefully since you can only have one. ;)

I never used it anyway because I didn't want anyone to ever feel left out. 

You are all my buddies and I love you all.

It isn't broken, as such. It has just been deactivated because of an unwanted feature in it whereby the ignore list was tied in with the buddy list, overriding membergroups and allowing members to ignore Staff. This was felt to be something which should not be implemented, so the whole system has been turned off, pending changes to the software which address this feature.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

That's why it was turned off?

Hmmm...never thought of that.

Oh. Is anyone working on fixing it, making it so that ignore Staff members thing doesn't happen? The buddy list would probably get some smiles.

Who shall I make my one buddy.... Very hard to decide. To list just a few of my favorite people on this site; Laura Squirrel, LordKAT, Pikachu... Hmm. Very hard.

As far as I know, no. I keep an eye on the software forums and from what I can make out, it's something that just is, at least for now. If I find out any differently, or something changes, I'll let you know. :)

Yeah, that's why it was turned off. There was a possible workaround at one point, but the code dealing with it got changed with a more recent forum update, to the point where it wouldn't work because the whole thing was handled with entirely different coding in an effort to make it more efficient.

Aww, I'm just happy to even be in the running. That made me smile.
