Seeing this also. No friends online and fifty-fifty when they IM me, they don't bear witness online. Information technology's but after I IM them back, that I suddenly get a notification they're online. There's ane friend however of whom I always go a notification when she logs in or out. And so if it's a region or connexion problem, and so why is it that I encounter her log in and out all the time but none of my other friends?

That friend is obviously an alien logging in from an orbiting spaceship using a megawatt laser connection. That is the only plausible answer...

The Internet is made up of literally billions of components. The SL system is literally made of hundreds of thousands of components spread beyond the continent. There are tens of thousands of people working on all those components making changes, adding new equipment, and replacing old or failing-failed equipment. At whatever given fourth dimension 20,000+k to l,000+k people are using some continuously varying combination of those components to connect to SL.

Your friend may be lucky, a Linden Alt logging in from within the LL network, live next door to the data center, or any number of other possibilities.

Or like some people that mosquitoes don't bite this well known bug simply skips biting them.

Nosotros take no idea why that friend shows up. But the number times you accept seen that happen and chosen it 'ever' versus the number of failures we and the Lab have seen tells there is a problems in the organisation and information technology is region and connexion related. Still, the connectedness issue you are thinking of may not be what we are saying. In that location is the connection from the user to the server and the connection from the server to other backend servers within LL'southward network. Connection issues and time outs in the backend connection may be aggravated by user to server bug. There are too many possibilities to know and it would not be surprising to find exceptions.
