Groups -> My friends

Your friends are a special group of users. You can share your portfolio pages easily with them and get in touch with them quickly by going to this page. They differ from a regular group in that they do not have discussion forums, pages or shared files. If you do wish to do that with your friends, you have to create a regular group for them.

You can request other users’ friendship in a couple of ways:
