Friend Request

POSTON WIDEHEAD · February 12, 2018, 10:27:10 PM

Please be patient on me accepting friend request.
The server I'm using for "background checks" is slow, yellow, heavy, hard to start and tends to vaporlock. :D :D :D

It seems my phone and my lap top are working great now! 8)
I'm liking the new update Jeff!

POSTON WIDEHEAD · February 12, 2018, 10:41:54 PM

I just looked at Jeff's profile and saw what it says his current activity is.
It said he was looking at MY profile.
That was a funny feeling. :D
What would the Boss be doing going through my junk?
And quit scribbling on my wall!

They can send you one, and you would need to accept (or not) and vice versa. You can send them one, and they would then accept. (or not)

goose63 · February 13, 2018, 08:52:10 AM

If I accept that puts them on my list right

Jeff · February 13, 2018, 08:54:04 AM

Yes.

I would've thought that all of your friends would be bold, MM!

Even the goat.

If Mr. Widehead is your friend, don't feed him azalea leaves.

Don't know if this is the right thread for this.........

How do you guys decide who to ask to be friend? I'd have to invite hundreds! Or maybe it's just tens, but I can't figure that out so at this point I ain't invitin' nobody. Alls you chaps and peoples and goatkindred, and such are pretty much in that category. But I'm not of great understanding.

What does being a friend do? Cause I was kinda thinking the same thing as Griz there, and PLEASE don't tell me James Taylor will start to play every time a friend logs on!! :D

Friends, likes, sounds like a facebook thing more and more.

sawguy21 · February 14, 2018, 04:06:09 PM

I had a friend request from someone I don't recall having dealt with or even seen here. It struck me as rather odd, I checked his profile and don't see a lot in common.

Jeff · February 14, 2018, 04:54:42 PM

Its cause yer handsome. :D

Peter Drouin · February 14, 2018, 06:10:46 PM

I did not know clicking on a name is a request to be a friend. I thought we were all friends in a way. Now I might get turned down and hurt my feeling. :D
Then a bad feeling will grow. :D

Magicman · February 14, 2018, 06:13:48 PM

I guess that I am a bit confused about the friend function. What does it do or supposed to do? I see "0 Buddies", a Friend logged on, and no bold?

sprucebunny · February 14, 2018, 07:43:01 PM

Maybe some people think the 'friends' thing is a contest and they are just trying to collect the most.

I also had a request from someone who I don't remember interacting with but, ya, ok, we are all friends here, right ???

Jeff · February 14, 2018, 07:47:09 PM

The friends thing is just an easy way to be able to find and contact those people that you regularly contact via messages. You can just go to your list, and find them and click on them without going through the entire members list. Its just another way to communicate. It was part of the modifications to help make the forum more mobile. The tabs make it easier to find stuff on a mobile device.

Use it or not.

BTW the people that are on, on my list, that are supposed to be, are bold when they are on.

POSTON WIDEHEAD · February 14, 2018, 07:54:47 PM

I got friends in places. :D
low

Magicman · February 14, 2018, 07:55:38 PM

I have one person bold that is logged on. Buddy = 1. There are two other "friends" logged on but are not bold. I refreshed and they are still there but not bold.

You have one person in your friends list. That is the ONLY person that is going to be bold. As I mentioned in a couple places, the friends list is replacing the buddy list. I can't see who is in your buddy list. You need to go find your old buddy's profiles, click on the add friend to add them. Once they approve it, then you will see them. I sent you a request, and you never approved it. I'm going to go delete the request and send it again. Once you approve it, then you will see me as bold in the list

I don't have as many friends tonight as I did last night.

Jeff · February 14, 2018, 10:09:17 PM

I think people are inadvertently deleting as they don't understand it. I don't fully understand it. It also could have happened in one of the updates I was needing to make. I've been trying to develop the code to give you a "are you sure you want to screw things up by pushing this button Dummy?" alert when you click a remove button, but no luck getting it right so far.
