unable to help/gift write to wall of (renamed) friend

I'm not sure if I have read something like this here before - I didn't find it when I searched now:

I accepted a friendship yesterday and can now visit that friends, but am unable to either wake, tip or write on his wall. I realized that the his name on my friendslist is different from the one when I visit his manor!
I'm also unable to change between friends when I'm there because the arrows to the next friend are missing. It's as if he had "unfriended" me, but he's still in my friendslist.

I've had the same issue last week with another friend, but he got "normal" after a day...

Anyone had that happen as well?

It's happened to me once or twice but I just leave the room and then try again in a few minutes and it is resolved!

I've had it happen to another one yesterday - turned to normal later. the first is still the same. I'm keeping him for solely scientific reasons for the moment )

For me it does not resolve itself, so far and i updated to 1.10. Had this before and after?

Same for me. After the update I still have the one friend (and it is an active one), I can visit, normally through wall or friendlist, but once there I can't tip help or gift - as if it were a pending friend. strange thing is that the name in the manor is different to the on the friendlist and wall.

I have had a couple of friends like that. Fortunately they were not active friends so I deleted them. I waited quite a while too just to see if anything would change but no such luck.

Neither of them had name issues though. The name was the same on all icons on my lists, going to their manor, and on their manor. Strange!

Anyone have any ideas on this one? My window to enter the friend code has been blank for days now.....

I have experienced this in the past with a couple of other friends. They turned out to be inactive, so like you, I deleted them. However, I recently added two new friends. They left me tips and gifts, and one posted a nice message on my wall -- but when I visit them, I cannot tip, gift, or wake sleepers. The R and L arrows are also gone. I have never had any instances where it resolved itself.

I'd love to reciprocate the love to my friends!

I have been having the same issue with one friend since about July, when they changed their username.
They post requests on my wall, and if I click the visit button, it takes me to their manor but still shows their old name, and there are no neighbours to the left or right. I'm not actually sure if I can tip or leave a message - need to check that.
I can, however, gift them from my own manor (going to gift box -> send gift -> choosing their name on my list) and they send wall requests which I can fulfill too.
I won't delete them, as we gift each other random chargers nearly every day! But it is a bit annoying that when I am going through my list visiting everyone, it gets to them and then there are no left/right arrows to visit anyone else.
