Thanks DocJohn,

I tried 2 ways.

1) I went to their profile I went to their friend list. I always thought there was a way to request them to be a friend from there & I couldn't find any way to request their friendship.

2) I went to my own profile & went into friends. I got my whole list ok.....but when I added the person's name I could only add them as a "Contact" but there was no place to request a friendship.

On the contact list there has always been a little box that gets checked if the friendship request has been accepted but could add to contact list with no way to request friendship.

Does this help?
