nevermind, it finally works now....but am not sure why it wasn't working before

Maybe your wallet has just opened or it wasn't open when you tried to receive the lightning funds?

FYI, you need to be online to receive lightning funds, or was it online?:
If you're not using the new "trampoline channels" (kangaroo icon in the channels of 'lightning' tab), you/your buddy have to keep Electrum open for a short while to fully connect to the rest of the LN network (see the lightning icon's percentage on the lower-right).

This is a separate issue than your other "not enough capacity" thread right?

Is there a chance you sent a smaller amount this time or they've send a payment somewhere since you originally tried?

It could just have been a node between you both was down but if it wasn't, it's probably related to this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.56752057 - they might not have had enough receive capacity.
