Hey there Matthew, I just wasn't sure how things were going to be implemented in your new scheme. 'No longer friends' then 'no longer following' from both parties currently removes all record of following and friendship events from the feed list. I must admit I haven't looked into why this happens as it wasn't really that much of a drama. Just wondered if modifications to what you were implementing might handle a more detailed and permanent history.
As I said, I'm looking forward to having a look. Jason :) On 26/09/2008, at 11:23 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hey Jason, > > That is a bit much (feature not complexity-wise).
