LFM Panel

[SuperNiCd]

Can someone explain the following things that occur in the LFM panel, and what they mean?

Sometimes you'll see an LFM with no character name associated with it.

Sometimes when you hover over an LFM you'll see multiple party member empty slots (no character names).

Sometimes when you hover over an LFM you'll see multiple party member slots that just say "Member" instead of character names.

Thanks

sounds like not populating the Who tab or could be ghost lfms.

In order to reduce lag some years ago they made a change that didn't pre-populate the who tab. Unfortunately the LFM panel gets the names from the who tab. Most of the time when it's blank that just means you haven't pulled that name yet.

What you can do is go into the Who tab, put any character in it and hit enter. This will force it to populate the who tab and the names should show in the LFM's after a few seconds. I generally find I only have to do this once (each time I login) and it's pretty good with keeping up with the changes after that.

Thanks - so likely a bug? I noticed after clicking on the Who tab and letting it populate I don't see these things anymore.

Edit: Ah, ok thanks that explains it.
