More mutual friends shown than... - Mutual Friends Widget | Forum

Hello,


When I open a profile, there are usually MORE mutual friends shown than that the person whose profile I watch even has...!


For example: a person shows on his profile that he has 5 friends (me already included) but the "mutual friends" widget shows that we have 7 friends in common (of course me not included). That means that the "Mutual friends" widget shows 3 people more...


How can this be?

Can I have a live url where I can see this happen? It will help me to understand the issue.

Well, I just realized that the number changes. Now the mutual friends widget shows only one person "too much". I guess it is due to pending friend requests which are counted by the widget but not counted otherwise. Or users have chosen there profile to be hidden. These are the only two reasons I can imagine.


the URL is: http://jambo-congo.net

First reason could be possible but not the second.


I will recheck and update you.

I think we have the same issue.


When a friends request is made it is shown in the mutual friends widget before the the person who receives the request has decided to accept it or not.


It can be confusing.
