Friending Members

[anachronislad]

So I've been having friending some of the members on here. If I want to friend someone I try and look them up through the members area but when I type in their name it says there is no one with that name on the site EVERY TIME. I've gotten lucky a couple times just scrolling though the members and found who I was looking for. Even if I click their name I get their profile but it doesn't give me the option to friend them. Can someone help?

If you know the name of the member you can go directly to their members page by typing into the address bar. For example your member page is found at:

Hope this helps you out.

Whats the benefits of friending? ,,, hope I dont sound like an idiot... but maybe I missed something.

I'm pretty sure the reason their names don't show up is because they haven't filled out any information in there profile.

 

[anachronislad]

Thanks jameral that does help me out quite a bit !

Whats the benefits of friending

+1...I've been wondering that for awhile myself, just didn't wanna sound like an idiot first ::

 

[gmwolford]

Silly Rabbits, its sose you can sit at the popular kids table! :laughat:

Only benefit as far as i can see is you reach out over the net and offer a handshake with a friend request.
Why do these simple things always have to have some kind of benefit? :P

I've been on here a while and feel the same way. I think of it the same away as sixmp, a friendly gesture from a fellow piper. I have not done it although I have made some friends from trading blends. To each his own. This is just a very pleasant place to hang out.

I haven't really bothered to ask others to be a friend because I consider myself friends with everyone on this forum ( tho I may pissed off one or two, but that's life I guess). Still, I do appreciate a friend request anyway.

Dang! :evil:

Kevin's stretching his lead.

I just need 6 to beat him to 3700.

:D
The reason I send Friends Requests is so I have the opportunity to see the profile of our New Members twice.

And it helps to remember the Members "real" names.
It's also a simple way to say: "Welcome to the Forums."

Guess there's not much of a real benefit to it, but like everyone else was saying its just a nice gesture to make everyone feel welcome. A bit of added camaraderie if you will

Exactly right mate.

Thanks, Lawrence . . . I wasn't sure what "friending" was about til reading your reason. I received three before I could get my wits about me.

 

[pstlpkr]

:D You're welcome.

 

[photoman13]

I've said it before but Lawrence's welcome is one of the reasons I stuck around. Befriending definitely has its purposes.

 

[sjpipesmoker]

I have friended a few people and others have friended me...but I don't think I've ever done anything with it??? just my profile says I have 8 friends?? (or is it 6?)
If I want to send someone a message, i just PM them!

I keep busy on another forum and the friend feature tends to be a guilty by association tool. In my preliminary reading here though the groups seem less competitive and more friendly . So gents please do not take my omission of your friend requests as rude but out of routine habit.

Cheers
