Buzznet Updates ("All Friends") - DPChallenge Forums

01/17/2005 05:58:39 AM · #1

I'm not sure when it happened since I've been gone a few days, but I noticed that buzznet's "All Friends" feature that allowed us to see the most recently updated images no longer works that way... it now just takes us to a page with the profile pics and a list of names.. why the heck would we want that? anyway, i e-mailed them to ask if they could reinstate this feature or make an option.. it's pretty much one of the biggest advantages to buzznet, which is now MIA :(. if anyone else is missing it, i'd suggest e-mailing them too at contact@buzznet.com - power in numbers!

Anyone else thought of doing this / been annoyed by the change?

If you've noticed, they've put a "More" button on your friends photo thumbnails at the right.. which takes you to that page.

I'm having trouble finding this more button :(. So after I click on "All Friends", I should be looking to the right?

No no.. on your main page.. over on the right is a section of the most recently updated friends photos.. at the very bottom are a few buttons.. they are labelled More, Collapse, and something else. You click on that More button, and it'll bring up the rest of your friends photos, in the order that they were updated.

after our discussion on dpcfanatics, I still haven't maanged to do this :( - I think I may try finding a place to put up a "web page" for my friends list so that i can syndicate and just click on the links from that page in order to view the most recent updates.. still not sure yet. does anyone else who has premium have the same thing artyste has? cuz i know that i, and others, do not (and we do not have premium).

I'm pretty sure Aguapreta has a premium account.. he'd be the one to ask.
If I'm right though, I think that what my page looks like is for Canadian users.. (although I don't know *why* that would be.. maybe the Canadian sponser pays a lot more for advertising).

//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=137416 This is what my page looks like.. which is markedly different from brianlh's and other U.S. users.

Is it me? 'My Friends' on my buzznet account (wobspad) is working as it always has, ie. under 'My Friends' are a list of my friends, and clicking on their name takes me to their 'home' page/the one where you can see their most recent shot plus previous thumbnails.

I'm confused now! :)

On my page, all my friends show up on the right side of the page as a thumbnail so I can directly see which friends have updated without clicking anything.. and this is on the free account.. not premium.

In Brian's case, there used to be a link that went to ALL his friend's thumbnails so he could see which ones have updated.. making life a lot easier than clicking every friend to see if they'd updated.

Seems that clicking on "ALL FRIENDS" for me has brought back the "recently updated" thumbnails.. (It *was* showing the user pics before, like Brian).. but now it's back to showing the recently updated.

Clicking "all friends" brings up the most recent thumbnails for me too. If you click on the picture, you go to that page for comments. If you click on the name below, you go to the info page for that person. I had not discovered this feature before... makes things a whole lot easier. Thanks!!

Odd... *MY* friends thing was working, yet I still somehow managed to miss it. Nice shot.. especially handheld.

It wasn't working for me either and I sent them an email
but it is all back good now
but in the meantime I had set up a tabs folder in firefox with all 30 home pages in it and would open all in tabs in one hit... not the best but it worked
but I'm glad they have fixed it because it is so much easer

Ah! I see... :)
Why didn't I notice that feature before?
(Oh, and it's working.)

Now that's new! Or is it what you were talking about...?

Tonight, down the right hand side, under the box which has Home, Post, Messages, Comments etc there are thumbnails with whether the peerson is online or not!
