    Hi meher, it's a pity that no one will even aknowledge the problem though. I still I have an issue with the ignore button and capital letters.

    Yep that may be what is causing the problem however I have others in my buddy list who start with a capital letter but I honestly cant remember who I added when

    If the people you are trying to add have a capital letter as the initial letter they won't add to your buddy list, or indeed your ignore list, since the last upgrade.

    I had major problems with my UserCP just after the upgrade and it wiped my entire buddy list so I can only add people with a lower case first initial.

    Strangely if you try to add me to your buddy list it will divert to my original user name before my initial letter was changed to a capital letter.

    I know this answer is out there somewhere but I can't find it.

    I understand the point of the ignore list but not the buddy list, please can somebody explain. Also if somebody is on your ignore list (I don't have one) then I understand you don't see there posts but what happens if somebody quotes them - do you see this? Thanks and sorry to be dim Dusty
