How do i add a friend to my yahoo page?

• Answer:

  - Either use the "Invite" page and follow the instructions here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/friends/friends-06.html . This feature is MAINLY for inviting people who are already in your Yahoo! Mail address book OR your Yahoo! Messenger buddy list. - Or go to a friend's page and click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture and make sure to check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation. In all cases, 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. 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. 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. This means you opted not to select the "Invite as a Friend" box before submitting the invite. People are also Favorites until they accept your invitation. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/ca/yahoo/360/friends/friends-12.html for more information about Favorites. 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 (or "Friends of Friends" if you are under age 18). 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). If the invite is sent to an address other than a Yahoo-related one, then it won't work. 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. 4) You are on the person's "ignore" list, thus communications from you are not received. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/friends/friends-04.html for more information. 5) People may have problems with their mailboxes that could prevent the sending and receiving of messages (like invitations) for a long time.
