Adding a friend

  Hi, 

  I know this has been covered before but there isn't a button to add a friend from their profile, is this a setting I have wrongly turned on or what? I have tried with Chrome, Edge, Facebook and also on the tablet app? 

   

  If anyone can point me in the direction of a fix that would be great 

   

  Thanks

   

  Steve

  On the Flash version on PC, there should be a button on their profile above the line showing their name, next to "invite to play" etc.

  Dunno about "Early Access".

  No direct fix known to me. The general advice in case of problems is "clear the caches" and "reboot the system". Might help, or not.

  Make sure flash is enabled in your browser otherwise the buttons won't appear.

  Are you sure, Scott? Inspecting the buttons with a right mouse click doesn't point to Flash.

  Perhaps, this player has blocked you. Then you'd have no option to contact or invite him, also on the wall.

  If I block flash in my browser then refresh the page, they disappear. Hope I'm not unique.  : )

  Same here.

  It's not your fault ;)

  Turns out that it's more complicated. It's not a Flash part of the homepage but it is somehow dependant on it.

  I discovered that at least one button shows w/o Flash, if you are not logged in.

  On mobile (via browser) ...

  

  and on PC:

  

  Once you log in on mobile, it disappears, as it does on PC without Flash:

  I think the coding on this site is a bit messy, but perhaps it'll be cleaned up once flash is gone.

  Your pictures are available. In FireFox can you right click on the actual picture in postimage then copy and paste image, or copy and paste image link/address, into your message? (Don't use the 'Grab it' link).

  Ah - it's new to me to copy&paste pictures directly -done!

  (I used the second item on the pictures' pop-up menu: "Copy graphic")

  Initially, I tried to use the pictures' URL, but it's not a picture type (e.g. jpg) but a code like d8cedc8ad4 and would only work as a link.

  Where do you host your pictures?

  I use imgur, and very occasionally Screencast. I used to use Photobucket, but I have deleted my account there now, which is a shame, but they have shot themselves in the foot with their charges and stuff.
