Has anyone checked out the 1.11 preview lately? There is suppose to be a new feature that sorts the Friends list by who is online. However my friends list is blank. Others seem to be seeing this as well. This version is slated to be installed on Wed, so I hope that this is fixed before then. Having a wiped friends list would not be a good thing.

Yes, it would be a really good time for people to check the preview grid , the Siva grid, what with it having errors as big as no friends list in it. I wonder what other problems it might have?

I see they have released a new Siva preview, that says it shows the friends list sorted in alphabetical order.

Unfortunately it still doesn't list any any friends except those made while using the Siva preview.

i hope this is gonna get fixed before it gets put on the main grid. It would be nice to get some Linden comment on this.

Well they were always sorted alphabeticaly, now though they are supose to be sorted by online/offline status as well. I assume that means on the top is done alphabetcially online, and below that your friends offline friends also sorted alphabetcially. Something silimar to what the IM window does except that shows groups first then online friends then offline friends. Of course I have not tested this yet as I don't have enough friends on my list in the Sevia preview to do so (since it was deleted). One odd thing I noticed though. When I friended someone in the preview to test and see if I could add someone, see if they were online, etc that worked fine. However on the main grid I now have that persons calling card, which shouldn't be possible.

I did see a linden on the preview grid several days back and asked them if they also had a empty friends list. The response was "yes" then I asked if it was a bug. The response was "possibly". That is all the Linden response I have got on this issue. I have bug reported it, and I suggest you do the same.

Friends list missing from 1.11.2 Preview

This is a known issue, but has nothing to do with the code.

When we imported the latest version of the main grid database, the Friends list was too big to bring in, so we had to leave it out of that version. We are working on a way to import the Friends list for future versions, but it won't be fixed for this Preview.

Ah ok thank you Karen. If I may make a suggestion, perhaps mention such a issue in with the posts when the Preview grid is updated so that we know about the issue rather than left wondering and sending a lot of bug reports?

Wait, let me get this strait.
There's a new feature to sort the friends list, but the friends list wasn't imported....?

True, it does make it interesting to test the new feature without data to test it with. I guess we have to make a lot of friends on the preview.

It is also kind of tough testing the land based push restrictions if you don't own land in the preview grid, and you can't buy it because the Siva land purchase option doesn't work.
