It might be because the visitor messages are turned off. I'm not sure though. We would have to find out if it works for other members. I have no way to test it.

Thank you ananda.

rurdy2rk, I can't find anything wrong with your settings so I just don't know why it's doing that. Try logging out and logging back in. Check the "Remember Me" box when you log back in. You could try deleting your cookies or try using firefox to see if it makes a difference.

I wasnt putting a check in the box next to the persons name in a friends request before and it wouldnt let me.
Whoever is sending you the request will be at the very bottom and you have to check the box before accepting.
Dont know if that helps.

Thanks for the help! It turned out to be my "main" computer. I used my laptop, and it worked as expected.

Thanks again
