Can't find people

[dragonfly]

Here's another thing. Twice now people have said in their journals that they've made G+ accounts, and have listed their username. But when I do a search on that username, I get nothing. G+ offers to let me add the username I searched for (whom G+ thinks doesn't exist), but only if I put in their email address (which I don't know, in either case).

Maybe their system needs time to refresh. (Or maybe those people have banned me! /o\ Just kidding. I doubt it.)

Comments

Yep...

I've noticed that, too. I think there's some caching delay happening. Maybe the search databases take a while to get new people into themselves?

Or yeah, perhaps you've been mistakenly autoblocked by the people's import process.

Hrm.

I've had this problem, too. Both times it was with a name that was in a "Name X" (e.g. "Regina G") format, so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

I just deleted mine tonight. Until they get their act together, I don't need to headache about real names vs. pseud identities. Thank you so much for the invite. I'm going to wait to see how it goes before getting back into the game. Your rec on the google+ community was great--seeing the whole discussion was enlightening.
