Kathalynn Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Sylyia we have all been there. Like most I am shy with new people. Decided years ago to just take the chance and if I meet someone I like I ask them to go to lunch. These days I invite hopeful new friends over for continental breakfast and a showing off of my machines. I loves sharing quilting info. Just a few weeks ago I invited one of my few neighbors over after 20 years of only smiling and waving when passing. We had breakfast and talked sewing & quilting and found out she really doesn't quilt or sew. But so nice to get acquainted she is a very nice lady. Don't see us as best buds but definitely good friends. I found my best friends while taking sewing & embroidery classes, this helps insure we have something in common. Let's be friends OK? Happy quilting Kathalynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisae Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi, Sylvia, Just click on the person's avatar and it will take you to their member profile. There is a button to add as a friend. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 hi sylvia - i think, if you go to the member list, scroll down to the friend you want, you only have to click the far left of the 3 icons next to thier name. of course, i am just guessing. and i tried it. so if you got a friend email from me, this is the right way. hope you're feeling better.

Dar Schultz Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Sylvia, I just tried sending you a message and got an error message saying you couldn't receive any messages. Maybe your inbox is full. So check it out. Im a new addition to this forum and don't know how to navigate very well. I hope you have a great day today!!

LibbyG Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 In a way, this is a hoot! We have to clear out all messages from our boxes, or we can't get any. Click the arrow by your name at the top of the page, drop down menu, go to personal messenger, on the left it says MY CONVERSATIONS, click on the button to the right, you may have to click add or edit, I can't remember if I did that. It clears all the messages at once. I won't be able to send you any U2Us until you do this. Like Lisa says, just click on someones picture and you get their profile. There's a line that says add me as a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I must have missed something with the new look to the forum. Why do we have to ask others to be our friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 i don't believe we have to LeeAnn, but i think it lets us view their content, send a message, email, etc EASIER...because, they are listed as friends. We can find the ones we 'talk' to often this way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Well, sniff, sniff, when I follow the directions it says, "remove them as a friend!" Nowhere is there a place to add someone as a friend. I will clean out my conversations and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenie123 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Oh ,I want to add that I was thinking the same as you also ,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think I now have asked someone successfully to be my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Okay, I now understand the reason for asking someone to be my friend (thanks Kristina) and how to do it (thanks Lisa), but what the heck does it mean when it says "9 neutral"?? This new forum is taking some time, but I bet in a month or so none of us will even remember the old one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I just noticed I have "0" warning points. Is that good? What's a warning point?? Will I get warning points for being a smart a$$?? Gee, I hope not!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Dawn explained that we probably will not receive warnings as we are quilters...and are generally nice! As far as the 9 neutral (or whatever number), that seems to change if others like our posts. I think I have that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Keepsakes Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I accidentally clicked on the wrong member (twice mind you) and asked them to be my friend. Oops, sorry! It will take some getting used to all these new 'accessories' our re-vamped forum has!! Hope the person I did ask to friend, got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Sylvia you all ready have 8 friends. I'm one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Sylvia I think if they have already added you as a friend then it comes up saying taht you can remove them. At least that is my theory because I had the same thing. I I love all the new emoticons LOL Did you notice that we even have one that looks shocked?

yankiequilter Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I haven't figured out how to ask someone to be my friend. I have clicked on a member's photo which brings up their profile, then clicked on the 'Add me as a friend' button and like magic we are friends. So if you are wondering how I got into your Friends folder, I just snuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
