New Friends?

Lheimbigner

I would love to make new friends on the same journey that I’m on!! How do you even do that? Is there a code? I don’t see an “add” button on anybody.

@AnnPT77 Sadly the usual method of adding friends has not been working for some months because the links between user community profiles and MFP profiles are broken. I’ve suggested exactly how they can fix it with a simple code modification but thus far nothing has been done.

@Lheimbigner - you can still add friends though, forgive me for copy/pasting my own post from a few weeks ago:

1) Note down the name of the person you want to add.

2) Next, go to the MFP app and find your 'friends' section. In the top right corner you'll see a + symbol.

3) Press the + symbol, then choose the second option down, and enter the name of the person you want to add.

Edit: this is assuming you’re using a phone app, if you’re using a PC it’s a little different; just let us know.

Welcome!

There's a link to detailed instructions about adding friends in this post from the MFP staff:

A good way to identify like-minded people is to join one of the challenge or motivation groups you can learn about in these areas:

There, you can read posts describing the challenge/group, and follow the instructions there for joining in.

Best wishes for success!
