How do you add people on yahoo.com?

Account was hacked, got a new name,been tryin to add people but it wont let me add them till thier online??

• i tried to add them and i dont thing the invite to be added gets to them... or hwne im offline and they add me it will still say add reuqest pending , i will have to wait till thier online to delete them and readd them to make it work

• Answer:

  If it says ad request pending just IM them and remind them to add you "Request pending" is what it says pending ,the easiest way to add someone by the way is through IM Dont delete and try again or you might be doing the re add delete re add delete circle for a while
