Stupid question.

[argonaut]

What is this 'friends' thing I keep seeing. Is there something different with PMing them or something?

I know it's a stupid question,but humour me

I dunno. I just looked and I've only got one friend.

But look on the bright side...I have a friend.

It's a good question Argonaut...

I'm blowed if I know the answer, so you'll have to humour me too.

Apparently, I am a friendless wonder - but I'm bearing up well!

I'm pretty sure it's the Buddy list from the old version. Instead of being private though, it looks like anyone viewing our profile can see it... a bit tacky IMO but that's progress.

You are not alone I've only one friend as well.

But at least you are not "Billy No mate's"

There is nothing sinister about it. I think it's fair to say forums have a wide range of differing personalities and interests. You may find you have developed an affinity with a few members, and if that is so, you decide if you wish to invite them to be a friend.

You can get an invite from a member to be their friend, you can accept, or not as you see fit. It was in operation in version 1, so it's not new. It is more visible in this version.

That is my interpretation anyway. No doubt I will be corrected if I have it wrong.

I'm a bit off-topic here, but I was wondering what your avatar was, barkis.

Is it some kind of military insignia?

Please ignore me if I'm being too nosy!

I was hoping it was something to do with Jennifer Aniston.

No wonder she ain't emailed me yet!!

Ha!

Far from being a disadvantage, Wingman, being a friendless wonder is vital to being a misunderstood genius, as any fule kno...

(as long as you don't end up cutting off your ear).
