    Friendship Request

    What is a vbforums friendship request?

    No one has ever asked to be my friend before, until today.
    There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    In your UserCP, under Networking, you should see a menu item called "Contacts & Friends"

    Re: Friendship Request

    but WHAT is it is the question?

    In short it's the social media networking that's built into vBulletin that's showing up. Happened with the last upgrade if I remember right. I'v turned mine off.

    * I don't respond to private (PM) requests for help. It's not conducive to the general learning of others.*
    * I also don't respond to friend requests. Save a few bits and don't bother. I'll just end up rejecting anyways.*

    Re: Friendship Request

    The friendship thing is part of the "social networking" features that were added to the forum software fairly recently. (edit: I'm slow today!)

    To be honest I'm not really sure what functionality it gives beyond just storing links to peoples profiles, and on this site it seems to be a fairly pointless feature.
