I finally figured out how to display a friend's list (sigh), but one of them is not showing. i only have a few friends on the list so far, so it can't be that there are too many? can anyone diagnose this?
Are you sure you have added him/her correctly? It's in "Buddy / Ignore Lists" in "My Settings". Make sure he/she is in the buddy list and not in the ignore list. The friends section on the homepage will show up to 50 friends.
Don't they only appear if that user has a homepage set up? I'm sure i have added people who have the basic profile page and they haven't appeared on there.
