What are alternate Email address mean?Im on yahoo 360 and I cant seem to find my friends on my site?

An alternate e-mail address is just another e-mail address the person can set up for use with their 360. You should be concerned with Yahoo! Aliases (otherwise called profile names). You can have up to 6 profile names on an account (including ONE extra e-mail address and your original Yahoo ID). See these links for more information: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/tools/tools-21.html http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/tools/tools-21.html http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/members/basics/md-06.html and http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/members/aliases/md-15.html . But to find your friends, first try inviting them by using the "Invite" page and follow the instructions here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/friends/friends-06.html . This way, if they are already in your e-mail or messenger as a contact, you don't have to search for them. If they aren't in your e-mail or messenger, then at the top of your 360 space is a "Search" link. You can search for people via nickname, keywords, and location. You can search by real name and e-mail addresses only if the person has enabled that option. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/search/index.html for more information on how to use search. If you find a friend's 360 that way, then click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture and make sure to check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation. The person needs to go to their 360 mailbox and ACCEPT the invitation so that they show up in your contact list, friends list, and friends module. Some words on invitations: If everyone is connected to each other, then you will see a "blue person icon" next to their name under the "Contacts" box (left side, bottom) on your 360 "Home" page. They will also appear in your Friends module on the Top Page. If you see a green cross, either one of you hasn't accepted (or sent) an invitation. That can happen if you click the "Add" link under a person's profile picture on their 360 page and chose to send the invitation as a FAVORITE, rather than a FRIEND. If you see no icon, no invite has been accepted on either side. You can have up to 300 connections, but only 100 outstanding invitations at once. There are communications settings to consider - click your "Edit Contact Settings" link under your personal profile picture on the "My Page." Make sure they are set to "Everyone in 360" for now. You can always change it whenever you want. If you find that your invitation isn't working, it could be for the following reasons: 1) If a person's Yahoo! 360 page is not activated, you will not be able invite them. It will say that they are not accepting invitations at this time. Everyone has 360 attached to their Yahoo account, but it stays dormant until it is activated (i.e. used for the first time). 2) If they have an activated 360 page, but their Communications Settings are set to "Friends of Friends" instead of "Everyone 360" in terms of invitations - and you are not a "Friends of Friends" - then your invitation will not be received. 3) They denied the invitation.
