Welcome to my world and, I suspect, many other BBO users since the switch to a separate Casual server. I see some of my friends on the main server when I log in, but when I click on the Casual server, new friends appear and the old friends disappear. Okay, I get it; there are two distinct servers. Evidently they're not totally integrated. Hopefully they soon will be.
However, puzzle me this: All the above pertains to when I log in with the new BBO software. I log in, and see some friends who I know are playing in the relaxed or main rooms. So, I go to the casual server, and poof! My friends are gone. What's even more puzzling, the tables they're playing at are gone too. Well, not actually gone; but hidden from me, for what reason I cannot fathom.
But when I log in with the old BBO software, it's once again seamless. I log in, and I can see all my friends (and what room they're playing in; something that got turfed with the new version). I click on Casual, go to the relaxed or main room, and there they are!
Physically, I'm connecting to the same server/servers in either case. Why am I only seeing half the picture when I use the new BBO version?

Old clients (Windows, Flash) do not know about Casual server.
New clients (HTML5, Moniles) do.
So:
if you have 4 people with old clients, Casual is not there.
if you have 4 people with new clients, all must go to the Casual server, and only then start a table.
If you have a mix: people with old client should start the table, and invite people by reserving seats, or
new client people can join the table by opening the opener's profile, then join.
