Friend Request button not showing up

Psittacosis · 10-26-2012, 10:48 PM

So, I made this new account (formally Cold Kitten) and had my vet status transferred over. For some reason, my friend request button isn't showing up on my profile, even though I don't have them turned off.

I tried turning them off and then back on, no luck. Also had someone view my profile in different browsers, to see if maybe it was a browser display issue. Apparently, it's not. However, even though the button won't show up on my profile, it's still in the source code of the page itself, so it doesn't make sense as to why it won't show up.

Any ideas/suggestions?

I see it, left of your avatar. That guy :

? Or it might be a girl with short hair, who knows?

I see your friend request button when I go on your page.

There used to be a clear "Add a friend" button but then it got changed to that icon and now it's a tad bit confusing sometimes.

You do know that you cannot see your own friend request icon or block icon right? Just like you cannot see the friend request icons of those whom you've already befriended.

Yes, I know I can't see my own button.

Apparently, only a few people can't see it? ?_? bmah couldn't see it when he looked for it and neither could TheThong, so. uh. yeah.

**PrawnSkunk** · 10-26-2012, 11:06 PM

I see it. Let's be friends ?? :0

Also, yeah - I haven't been able to see that button on a few people's profiles... weird.

Maybe they don't remember where it is on the new style profile?

Psittacosis · 10-26-2012, 11:11 PM

I... kind of doubt that. I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible, but. Again. Kinda doubt that's it.

**psychoangel691** · 10-26-2012, 11:14 PM

You've never blocked either of them ever right? I know that makes it disappear.

Psittacosis · 10-26-2012, 11:16 PM

No, I haven't.

**popsicle_3000** · 10-27-2012, 07:12 AM

i found it on your profile, and sent a request i think

**LongGone** · 10-27-2012, 07:25 AM

I see it

**Pseudo Enigma** · 10-27-2012, 09:50 AM

are you asking people who are already your friends? ._o

... find the message

**Untimely Friction** · 10-27-2012, 09:52 AM

Wasn't there an option to block incoming requests which removed that button, which made it necessary for the user who would intially have been befriended to send the invite to the would be inviter.... Sorry for nonsensicality 28 hours awake, Psycho I believe it may however be visible for you due to you being a mod. Idk though.

Edit: Nvm I'm still living in the text display days of merryment for friend adding... I don't like that button.

Psittacosis · 10-27-2012, 04:15 PM

Yes, I know we're already friends. because I'd added bmah. I removed him various times in order to see if it popped up.

After bmah clearing his cache, it DID finally show up. Might've been something on his end, I don't know.

In any case, problem solved, I guess.

**bmah** · 10-30-2012, 05:52 PM

I'll still say this: the button for adding a user to your friend list on the newer version of the profile page is far too obscure. It's a tiny icon that looks more like the symbol for messaging someone on the MSN program (a guy basically). The old version of the profile page is more explicit: "Add user as a friend". There should be a more obvious button, or just revert back to the text link that says "add user as a friend".

**popsicle_3000** · 10-31-2012, 05:11 AM

i agree

**Pseudo Enigma** · 10-31-2012, 09:13 AM

or just don't include them on the same line.
I've got quite a few things to ask/suggest for the profile layout. It could be so much more clean and neater.
