    Hi there, just wondering on this if its anything,

    I just happen to pop by steamrep and read around randomly, i see a person in my friend list is VAC status banned.

    but then VAC ban on record on community profile

    But anyway just wanted to ask that steamrep profile Online Status shows he's in "Snooze" mode but on steam profile, he's on resident evil 6/ biohazard 6

    Of course at the time you see this probably it'll be different and im not taking screenshots since it's not a big issue, but just wondering if it could be a bug or something.

    Snooze status is the cached status (of last time someone looked that person up). Only once SR has inline updated this, it will show current status.

    the "order" roughly is:
    - you look up somebody
    - SR shows the profile as we have it in our Database
    - While you look at the profile, SR does a Steam API call for current info on the account.
    - Once that answer is received, it will be processed, and your page will be updated with current status, and the friends list will below be added.

    So yes, current status is at start always wrong. Its chosen to show last known cache first (if marked, it will show it anyway), so you have a faster experience of being informed.

    tl:dr: its no bug, its a feature :)
