Friends Online Bug?

I have been having this problem with the Friends List feature, not sure if anyone else is having the same problem.
When I check to see who is on I see that half of my list is on, however when I pm a person who is on it says "Player _ _ _ _ is not online." This is a big problem because I'm not able to tell who is on and who is not.

If this is not the right place for this thread, please move it to the proper section, thank you.

Whenever I log in and out during a session, I get a combined friends list that includes people I deleted long ago. Restarting the client fixes it though.

I have had this same problem...But 70% of the time when I restart the client it doesn't help.

So is there an answer to this magnificiant problem? Or should I restart the client, which ive already done.....a few times.

I've noticed the same problem. Restarting the client does NOT seem to work. Logging into a different character does, however.

It's probably a dat file issue, which redownloading might fix.
