Hi Zen,
Thanks for your patience. We’re developing some instructions for everyone. You can help by asking questions as well.
Think for the friend request part of our community as similar to Facebook. When you see someone you want to “friend,” you can send a request by clicking “Add a Friend”. If you’ve already sent a request, then you will see the option to “Cancel Friend Request.”
If you click on the person’s name in the Members section, you will see an option to Send a Private Message.
Please just let us know if you have any further questions.
