Showing my technical ignorance here, I know. What does it meant to add a member as a Friend? What does this do?

    This is only from my technical expertise, so hopefully I am correct. When you add a member as a friend you will be able to select them from a drop down menu when you are pming them. Of course, they also show up on your friend list. Make sense? I hope so.

    Thanks, MusicLover. So it is a shortcut to their name when you want to send them a private message? Do we get a list of who has put us on their friend list?

    Yes to the first question and I believe that is a no to the second question.

    I love your avatar, I probably have told you that already. Enjoy your weekend.

    A bit more about adding someone as a "friend." It is also an easy way to be able to follow the posts of a member.

    If you go to your own "Dashboard" there are several sections, one of them is "Friends," which will show you the avatars & names of people you have "friended." If you click on one of those, you get their profile, which will show you their recent posts. As well as allowing you to easily send them a PM.

    HTH,

    That's what I meant by friend list but that is an excellent explanation that Lisa provided.
