How to Add a Friend on Ehow when the Friends Button is Missing How to Add a Friend on Ehow when the Friends Button is Missing

Rate: (13 Ratings)

You are a member of ehow and have just finished a fantastic article. Yet, when you go to send a friend request to the author, the "Add Friends" button isn't there! You know it's not a staff writer; you see a profile and other friends. You check your friends list to make sure this person is not already a friend. He or she isn't. What can you do now?

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Ehow membership and desire for a new friend.
  • A profile you would like to send a friend request to that is not an ehow staff writer or a friend already.
Step1
Go into the profile of your mystery person.
Step2
Click on "View all Friends". Select one of their friends, then bring up that person's profile.
Step3
Once in the profile of the friend of the person you are trying to add, click "View All Friends." Find the mystery person among those friends. Beneath their icon, there should be an "Add to friends" line or bar. Click on it.
Step4
You are now able to send your mystery person a friend request.

Tips & Warnings

  • When choosing a profile to search in the quest for your friend, choose one with the least amount of people. It will be a lot easier to find your mystery person among 45 friends than 1560.

on 7/31/2008 Great info, now if we could just figure out how to send mail to them. After viewing some in the forum some say they are a regular ehow member like everyone else and have no clue why they are having problems. Some even say they are having problems publishing. So who knows. Great article. 5 stars.

on 7/30/2008 They can get a job with Demand Media after having been a 'regular' author on eHow as well so they would have friends listed and then no add friends button at that point in time. But either way, your system works.
