Hi Lee – just read your thread about accessing Friends on here. If you click on to your name right at the top it should bring you to your profile and on the right hand side should be 4 headings, 2 of which are Friends and Messages. I think you have to invite someone to be your friend and then away you go.
Well, that's the theory anyway! It worked for me but that's nothing to go on – Good Luck!
