Adding buddies

Just wanted to say to whoever has requested to add me as a buddy: I'm not ignoring you, but every time I go to the page to try and confirm it goes weird! So I don't even know who it is and I can't click on yes.

ooops i didn't know what you were talking about so i went looking LOL i accidentally pressed to add you as a buddy and it said request sent - it wasn't me originally but i'd be happy for you to accept me.

When i tried to access your user profile it went weird :-s

What does it mean when you've added buddies? I hadn't even realised the feature existed LOL

[Hidden]

hehe well that explains why I now have two requests! I feel very popular tonight

Not sure what it means - just seems to be that you have 'buddies' ie particular ppl you talk to more than others, but not sure what the point is as most ppl know who they usually talk to on here, and PM when that's working. Don't think most ppl use it much, even when it's working which atm it clearly isn't.

Nor is the user profile feature, though it doesn't say much anyway.

I have also tried to add a buddy but when I click on yes I get a weird page come up with the following message.

Hello, just seen this post.

I also cannot see whoever has tried to add me today and had the same message as Asthmagirl. It may that this is linked to the unavailability of the PM system. I will look into it and update here.

From what I know about web coding, the problem with the buddy feature is related to the problems we first had when the new board was opened (the problem that caused the boards to close for a week or so while it was fixed).

I reported the problem with the buddy system to Asthma UK about six weeks ago, but I don't think it will be fixed until the next round of website updates. As soon as I know more, I'll let you all know.

[Hidden]

Thanks! It's not a big thing; I just started this post so whoever it was who requested to add me knew I wasn't ignoring them.

Hi how do you actually add some one as a Buddy? didn't know you could do that.

[Hidden]

Modine, you can add buddies by clicking on the username to the side <--, add as buddy is last on the list.

The AUK web development team are aware of the issue with the PM/buddies system but cannot give a timescale currently.

P.S. you may see you have a request, I clicked by accident

[Hidden]

hahaha TJ thats exactly what i did with philomela

[Hidden]

hey!! just thought id fly by and say thank you to the person who has added me as a buddy, but sadly it looks like the system is still playing funny games and I cant see who your are or even accept!! so I apologise!!

[Annista]

I've also got a buddy request I can't respond to - sorry, whoever it is I'm not ignoring you!

[Asthma-girl]

I also have buddy requests but I am unable to reply at the moment, sorry.

[Hidden]

Mine goes weird too. I'm not ignoring it!

[Hidden]

[Hidden]

Hi I just want to apologise as someone is trying to add me as a buddy but I can't accept it like everyone else seems to be having problems as well

Hey all!!

I now have three pending buddie requests, and I just wanted to reasure you lovely people that im not ignoring, honest, its the website, its still being mean and wont let us be friends :/

xxx

[Hidden]

Snap!

I have a pending request. Whoever you are I'm not ignoring you!

[Hidden]

Same, I have 6! I suspect people have been doing that thing where they look at my 'profile' and accidentally click on 'add buddy' - so easy to do!

Wonder if we're ever going to get this, or more importantly the PM system, back - it's been quite a while now! Any mods know what the situation is?
