Are you sure you can't send lives anymore @Riverfleet1? If a friend requests that you send a life can't you send them one? If you click on your friends in your Profile can't you send them a life from there?
Sending lives from the level ranking might have been the quickest method of sending lives to some of your friends, but it isn't the only way.
