Something new to learn  

You can always contact them through messages this is what I do to keep in touch with them,then you decide later on where you want them to contact you, its easy and its good to learn every time here in mylot.

Maybe the only way to contact a newbie is to wait for their maiden post and from there we can request for their friendship.

If they joined as your referral then they are automatically added to your friend list - though the notifier concerning their started discussions is set to 'off' and you must put it to 'on' manually.

If they are not on your friend list then, if you know their usrrname, you can place:
http://www.mylot.com/username
in your browser and their profile will show up.

I just go to the friend who made the request and find their friend's name on their friends list then make a friend request. It's a bit of a gamble, as they have no discussion or reply history, but I can always turn them off if they end up being a one-liner discussion fan or post content I don't like reading.

Hi Savypat, I think the easiest way to find someone is from their username for instance today I have had two new friends join but as yet they have not started a discussion so it makes it harder as if they have you can just click to add as a friend. Huggles Ellie :)

Other than sending a PM with the link, I don't know... Some people have their friends lists organized newest to oldest and you can figure it out from their profile, but others not...

i see no other way to look for new users to add to our list if we don't know their username. we can only see new users at the new users discussion tab if they already posted their first discussion.
