I have met many new friends here. Recently I have found that after accepting, or having accepted a friend request, that the friend is not on my list even though it says we are friends at the bottom of the page. Can this be fixed??
You have too many sir. The site struggles with more than 240. Best prune a few.
250 is the magic number. You will see the first 250 friends on your list but any after that will still show as friends on your profile but you won't see their online status. I'm pretty sure it's in order by the way you got them so look at your first page of friends and start whacking the deadwood. ;-)
