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.If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape 100 days of sorrow.......Chinese proverb

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 whenWeight Loss - 102lb0

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.0 -
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 DustyThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0
