I am a country boy to the bone. I struggle with many things in the computer world. Please help me understand how I send a friend request on here. I searched through the board for this topic but could not find it.

Singelli has been replying to all my posts and would like to become their friend.

I wasn't aware I had been responding to so many. haha!  Oh my.  I guess my eyes are drawn to lengthy posts, passionate ideas, and intelligent people.  *stops teasing*

It's not too hard!  *puts on teacher face*

Alright, look to the left of the text you are reading now.  You should see my name, and it should be orange-ish, brown-ish. (Don't judge... brown is a beautiful and awesome color!)  

Okay... here's the hard part... click on it!

That brings you to my profile where you can see all sorts of fascinating tidbits about me.  (lawls)

If you look directly under my profile image (the gold Christmas balls), you'll see a link that says "Send Private Message".  To the left of that is "Add to Friends List".

Click on that.

From there, you can do fancy shmancy customizing stuff, or you can simply click the gray "Add Friend" option.  It's that easy!  Good luck.  

Awesome, thanks. I had clicked on your name before but missed the add friend thingy.

Trendkiller :  No problem! Also, just so you know, people won't realize you've responded DIRECTLY to them unless you notify them.  You do that by 'summon'ing them like I've done here.

If you respond directly to someone and you want them to read what you've written, you have to go to a new line, type their name, and a colon.  For example, I can summon myself.

Singelli :

And that will give me a notification that someone wants me to read this post.

That's pretty awesome. So their name and a colon afterward. Gotcha.
