Hi there Bekah - Did you find out how to make friends?
I've just relooked at your post and we all answered saying you will make friends but then I thought 'maybe you just want to know how to ACTUALLY make friends' lol
There are a couple of ways
1/ Go to your USER CP and go to CONTACTS AND FRIENDS
2/At the bottom it should say 'ADD A MEMBER TO YOUR LIST' - put in the persons username you want to make friends with
3/Click ADD FRIEND (from then a message will be sent to that person for them to accept your request or not)
Other way (From someones post you have been reading)
1/ Click on the persons name
2/ Click on 'VIEW PUBLIC PROFILE'
3/ Click on the bar FRIENDS
4/ You will see the words 'BEFRIEND...' click that and wait for the acceptance!
Hope this helps
