When I open the site I get a pop-up asking me to go to the buddy list. When I go there I don't seem to know what to do. So what does a buddy do other than being a buddy?
I mean is buddyhood some kind of brotherhood or is it just a tool, a short cut for communication? I'm really an Alice in Wonderland in these matters.
I had two buddies with whom I had the same problem. They were my buddies but I couldn't be theirs. Finally they left the forum, but they still pop up on my screen. By a coincidence I found I had a lot in common with one of them, and I so I meet her on and off in the physical world.
On that Buddy List page -
You'll see four tabs - Friend List, Waiting List, Pending List, Blocked
A quick explanation of each:
1) Friend List - Your currently approved friends
2) Waiting List - Members you sent a friend request
3) Pending List - Members who sent you a friend request.
4) Blocked - Self-explanatory.
You want to click on the Pending List tab, and you'll see some IF members listed who sent you a Friend Request. Shyamala Ji and myself for example. You'll see a green checkmark and a red cross in each IF member box. Click the green checkmark to approve; click the red cross to reject. And if you approved us, then we'll be removed from your Pending List and will appear in your Friend List.
