Sometimes stops updating online members
Bug #:	2015
File:	FuBar - GuildFu
Date:	08-29-06 12:52 AM

Status:	Confirmed (Working on Fix)
I noticed that this mod will quite often get stuck and stop updating when the guild roster changes. It can show the same information for hours, regardless of whether it's true or not. I've tried opening and closing the guild panel, showing/hiding offline members, changing how things are sorted or filtered. Nothing short of reloading the UI will cause it to update when it gets stuck like this. Makes it a little difficult to use it as an instant reference of who is online if I can't trust it to be anywhere near up to date.

I did some digging into this because it's been bugging the crap out of me, and what I found I posted on the Ace forums at http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=1874.msg46635#msg46635

Summary: One of my characters is firing GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE with "unusable" as arg1 and it's causing the conditional to fail and self:Update() never runs. Another character (same guild, mostly the same addons) is firing GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE with "nil" as arg1, and so it ends up passing the conditional.

hmm... ok maybe my research on this wasn't deep enought :/
I did the arg checking in order to reduce the number of times update is called but it seems like it's not working as intended... so simply removing the conditional will probably fix things.
