It seems to me that I have somehow deleted a friend off my profile page in error, although I have no idea how.
I am still listed on their page as a friend so it does not look like it has happened from their end.
How do I re-instate them please?
I have messaged them just in case something has happened from their end.
Thank you.
Further to the above the account in question now seems to have disappeared in as much as I get an error message if I click on it.
That would explain them disappearing off my friend list but not the fact that I was able to view their account at the time that I sent the above.
I also received a PM from them three hours ago.
Oh well!
If they've deleted their account, it can take up to 24 hours for the site cache to catch up.
So remnants of their profile, stories etc., take a little while to be purged from the system.
With the site serving 2.5 million pageviews each month, it's not possible for the site to be absolutely "live" across the whole setup. Some areas are cached for better performance.
Don't you worry, they'll be back on lush soon.
Sometimes they come back full on incognito mode then slowly but surely tell you it's them.
