On the Options icon below each message, there's an Add to Friends choice. What the heck does it do? Anything at all?

IIANM, it places a "thumbs up" icon next to listed discussions (threads) in which your "friends" are participants.

IIAM, I am sure that Iain will pop-up to correct me.

Best regards, 4merCL

Actually, I think the "thumbs up" shows up in threads to which you've subscribed.

The "add to friends" puts a little cartoony face next to that person's name in the message header. It's just a quick way to spot a message posted by one of your friends.

Since there's no User's Manual, Matt Drury tried to describe how some of this stuff works when we joined Prospero. You'll find those message in the LEARN THE BASICS folder.

In his Reading Messages, there's this:

Add to Friends:
Adds the sender to your Forum Friends list, which will cause a small "guy" icon to appear next to messages from those people.

In his Glossary of Terms, A-M, he put this:

Friends:
Individuals that you mark by hovering over the Options button in a message they post and selecting "Add to Friends" - from that point on, you'll see a friendly face next to their name in their Messages. To remove someone from your Friends list, hover over Options and choose "Remove from Friends List."
