Thanks. This was an intriguing exercise particularly since I just had an LJ hissy fit and dumped my 107 friends. lol. Then I added back 18 of them. (Can you say off my meds? snort)

So it was very interesting to see who was on my trust flow! Danke!

Helppp....

I think you should list the amount of water, or tokens, or whatever unit you're using, after each name - it'd clear up some confusion, and be rather interesting to me at least ^^

Yup, this is planned for the next version, and as you say it's pretty interesting. The next version is pretty cool in many ways - I'm just sorting out hosting now.

[alexg]

okay, cool ^^

Something that might help others:
I kept getting the "user not found/no defined friends" error. Tried it several times weeks apart and then today a light bulb went on in my head...

In my user info I had previously marked my friends list as "hidden".

It's pretty obvious now that the script can't find friends that no one else is supposed to know you have. ;)

Now that my blonde is showing, I have reset my settings so that my friends list is visible and I will try back later to see if the tool worked.

[ciphergoth]

This isn't the reason. Actually, I don't know why it's failing for you! Investigating now.

You can't hide your "Friends" list, only your "Friends of" list. But TrustFlow doesn't care about your "Friends of" list, only your "Friends" list.

Gotcha. I assumed it worked off of both lists. It is working for me now. Thank you!!

[ciphergoth]

Fixed now.
