Has any one noticed that the "Friends Online" feature is,,, so they state, Temporarily Disabled?

Also, I noticed last night that I had other friends who were logged in but didn't show in my "Friends" tab. Therefore I couldn't offer them a TP and only found out that they were online when I sent an IM hoping to see them later. To my surprise one of them began to answer me. I wasn't showing in their friends tab either. What in Gods name is going on with SL now????

These supposed,,, upgrades,, or updates seem to be causing more problems then they're fixing! I'm getting fed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's frustrating when the list doesn't work, but if you're in any of the same groups, you can use the 'Info' area there to see who's online.

Oh, and Ctrl-Alt-V will restore your ability to offer teleport from someone's profile, but you'll have to do it every time you log on.

i think someone at LL is wishing friends online would go away, at least from the client. like transactions. then we'd have to rely on the web site. but oops! i think they should get at least one of them working.

Do we REALLY need yet another thread on this?

It's a bug. It'll get fixed. Your life is not over. By making your own thread instead of adding to plethora of existing threads, you are not going to magically make anything happen any quicker.

It's a known and reoccuring problem. We all feel your pain. The issue HAS been reported to jira and acknowledged by Torley

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/MISC-142

If you notice anything that hasn't been pointed out about the problem then feel free to make a comment but don't just make a comment to say you're having the same problem. Plus vote on it, that's the best way to say it's an issue for you too.

Sorry for the ranting and the obviously duplicated thread. I was just so damned teed off that I failed to look if the same topic was already posted. Again,, my appologies.
