I'm in principle happy to help; one of the things I love about DW is getting my hands dirty in this Open Source world, and sharing all the random little bits I have learned about the codebase is very exciting for me. (Yes, I know all the other geeks have known this for 20 years, I'm slow.)
However you're getting to the point where you're asking questions beyond the limits of my technical knowhow. You've picked up enough from the docs to replace checkfriends with checkforupdates, which is the usual thing that goes wrong with porting stuff over from LJ. I have a feeling it's deliberate that it's set at an excessively long poll interval (and quite possibly disabled altogether) for free accounts (it used to be that way on LJ too, at least back in the day).
The official Support place is http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/submit. But there aren't many volunteers active there with more technical knowledge than me. For this kind of properly technical question, you'd do better asking in ![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png) dw_dev, because the people who actually know this stuff watch that. |
