Followers sometimes get doubled listing in 'my followers' list

Using Jamroom

I'm revisiting this thread because I've noticed that although the above fix works nicely to eliminate the 'twin' followers from appearing on the member's https://fotmd.com/strumelia/follow page, the doubled followers still appear on the member's main profile Sidebar widget- see this screenshot.
I probably just didn't notice this in the sidebar after the above fix successfully fixed the issue on the main Follow page for the larger follower avatars.
I'm guessing I'm going to need to apply the same 'type' of code fix in my custom skin's the profile sidebar, or index template? OR maybe somewhere else.. somehow pointing to the profile Sidebar? Not sure.

Happens all the time on like Google News for instance.

OTOH it's annoying and distracting if you are looking over the front page of a site like JR or Ning and suddenly the view refreshes and the the things you were looking over disappear ...like a chair getting pulled out from under you as you're about to sit down.

No, I did it for some other reason long ago, forgot why now. But it does make the set length of time when the site would normally refresh itself automatically shorter (without you manually resetting cache). I seem to recall that if you set that TOO low (seconds-wise) it would start slowing the whole site down. But 235 seconds seemed to work as a nice balance for me. I would not suggest going below 200.

I know you have in place more things to try and make refreshes more 'live' on your site than I do (probably to accommodate heavy metal users' attention deficit syndrome trauma..hahah just kidding, but hey my dulcimer site is for slow talking middle aged musicians) ...so you and I have slightly different needs. I don't need such instant refreshing stuff on my site, so I can't actually help you there specifically.

Zach- as Douglas points out... there is the cache seconds setting. The default on my site was at 300 seconds, but I changed it a while back to 235 and that seemed to help my site without ill effects. You don't want to go too low though, or that may create other unwanted issues, depending on your site. (the suggested defaults are usually for good reason)

Right. Most probably just people discussing flower arranging. L O L

As per your other current 'mobile view'-related support threads- make sure you are testing this also on a mobile device that is not really old.

What bits of code are FollowMe and Celebrity missing that would make them 100% mobile friendly?

Design and Skin Customization

Friendly gentle suggestion, Zach... Check 'problems' against other devices and browsers before opening support threads in two places for basically the same issue, maybe?
I'm sure the Jamroom Team must be working at their maximum capacity to address all the many updates and customer issues. They are so patient and generous with their time- we are all lucky to have them!

Celebrity skin private notes messed up in mobile view

Good to test things on at least a couple different devices and browsers before requesting codes to change your site to Ankylosaurus version 1.0.BC.

a word of advice from an experienced mess creator: be careful when you are there in the Database Admin area, PJ!
