What's a pending friend request?!

I feel like I am in the twilight zone! :tongue_smilie: I've figured out what to do with the pending friend request, somebody please educate me on the "friend" thing with the new system....what's it all about? :-)

I know that I clicked on something to befriend someone, and it said that the friendship was pending.

 

Someone else (beansprouts) tried to befriend me, but I've yet to figure out where I find the pending friend request. Where did you find it?

 

In your user profile -- the part that tells what your iTrader score is -- you can see who your friends are. There's a little pool of avatars there on the right. You can see mine if you click on my name.

 

ETA: I'm not sure what the point of it is. Perhaps we can see when friends are online? Look at their posts more easily? Beats me.

Gail,

When I spotted a "you have a friendship request" at the top of my control panel screen, I clicked on that message and it walked me through enabling that friendship. HTH!

 

Like you, I've yet to figure out the purpose of this feature. ;-)
