lol, no that's right ...

mmm, and you are putting in the six zeros manually right?
sometimes autofill screws that up if you've added a space in the past.

Sorry RA, wish I could be of more help.

Edit: Oh, and try another color just to check the source of the issue.

Edit 2: Hey there ya go!

Oh wait no we have a success finally

I overlooked something that Scho Dog had mentioned wit the # mark i forgot to not use that and it worked so...

Seriously thanks guys i really appreciate it

Edit: Oh and sorry for wasting your time on something that was MY fault

I happened upon a member of ATS who was marked with "MY FRIEND", and I had no idea who they are. I looked through my profile, and, sure enough, they aren't listed there.

I don't think it's a huge big deal, however I don't like that somebody shows up to me as my friend that I haven't friended. Who should I U2U about this to get the person deleted? I really don't understand the mechanism that allows someone to appear as friended that doesn't appear on my list. This person has a collosal list of friends, as well as foes. I suspect that they're an anomoly within the context of ATS language due to their short member name.

Yeah, it's a long time glitch that made me panic once until it was explained to me. lol

What happens is if you friend someone named 'Bob1234,' the code will take the 'root name' and will 'auto-friend' you to the member 'Bob.'

Oh, man I was wondering about this too! I ran across members (2 so far) from very old threads who were showing up as my friends (green bar, but not on friends list) who weren't even active on the boards anymore... could not figure out what was going on...

Here's what I've done in the past that sometimes works:

1. Find the friend in your list that has a similar username
2. Un-friend them
3. Find the member who is showing up as a friend but isn't
4. Foe them
5. Go back and re-friend your original friend
6. Un-foe the other member and send them a polite U2U telling them you foed them by accident and have now un-foed them

Voila ... it should work.

My yellow U2U link & the 1 from members tools keep sending me to the board home page, or just refreshing it.
Help! I cant U2U anybody to get help...

MOD Edit:

Your complaint has been received by staff.

Well that's nice.

Perhaps i wanted a rapid response?

And a member to answer.... i didn't realise that asking a question was now against the T&C's?

Are you for real?

You've filed numerous complaints about this issue (which are being considered) and one of which you included a C&P of the auto u2u coming with this warning and includes the following-

Warnings are recorded, and each individual warning expires in three days (72 hours) from the time it was applied.

So you have already received this information. As to your complaint(s), please remain patient if you require information in addition to the staff u2us you've already received.

Someone has waaaaay too much time on their hands if they have figured this out.

But thanks a lot for doing the leg work for us..will give it a try..

reply to post by Bunken Drum Would someone please Alert this post of mine above which I've replied to here so it gets noticed? I've tried to but that just redirects to the board home page too.
Take pity fellow ATSers - I've been away over a week - I want to read my messages soon!

I'm having the same problems -

By problems I mean that (a) I can't access my U2Us and (b) I can't seem to get the attention of any mods to look into it.

miriam#### is also having the same issueS.

A tech savvy staffer has been alerted to these u2u issues.

Hi

Have I missed an announcement? I thought we had an alternative substance forum? Is ATS back to zero tolerance? I feel kinda foolish 'cause I've directed a couple of members there today and now I see it does not exist. I thought it was kinda handy to have a pen for these people, lol, not all, just the well...you know the ones i mean.

That's odd. I can still access it just fine.
