Today i noticed that a friend was on ns and 'idle for 0 minutes' but they had been idle on an instant messaging program. They continued to be 'online and idle for 0 minutes' on ns for like an hour...also, Some of the names under my friends list dont show up in the 'online' list with all the people directly below it. Whats going on?

I know when you sign on, it takes a while to show up on the huge online list. cuz sometimes I'll sign on, and then my name will show up on the list like 5 minutes later

It's true, though. All the friends that have been online this evening and have long since been gone are still on my friends list and idle at zero.

Just because your friends are idle on an instant messenger doesnt mean they're idle on NS.

It is pretty glitchy and doesnt seem to ever work though.
