I'm a bit peeved here.
Why aren't referrals automatically linked as friends?
I have two new referrals and I have no way to contact them to help them until/unless they approve me as friends.
I can't send them a message or leave a comment on their profile, and I can't email them if I don't know who they are. Neither one has a username that I recognize.
They signed up and if someone doesn't show them the ropes, they probably won't make a single post, make a point or earn a penny.
Who is that helping?

Hi Marie Anne - I'm glad you found me! I know that nobody at Yuwie knows me as "koalatbs" but I guess it was easier for you to find me as I left you a message in your blog saying I was joining. That is a shame though... maybe they'll fix that somehow. They should! Hope you're having a great day!

Lots of folks have made comments in that blog, but I haven't checked it today. Oooops!
Welcome!

Ya that doesnt sound good. All that can happen now is that they see ur post here, recognize u, and approve u as friend! Hope that happens soon.
MyLot will have to get a search tool which can search users by name/location/age and other stuffs. If it comes with a search engine, that will be great.
Good luck. Hope u find ur referrals soon.

I did find them both, thank you.
They were friends from Yuwie and had posted on my blog there but I hadn't checked it that day.
A search feature is fine, but that still won't solve a problem if they won't add you as a friend.

Well I found a real easy way to get your referalls hooked, push the # right under your earnings, the referal number and all you people are there, I check on all my referalls, like you Marie Anne. That is how I came to you today, there is a direct link to each referall there. I just got home from work not long ago, or I would of told you sooner. Took me a few to find it myself, no one toldme either,another site you have to kinda hunt or peck you way around. Sounds like you having fun, and finding friends from yuwie too, great.

Deea, I know how to FIND the referral, but you can't send them a message or anything until they approve you as a friend.
If they don't know to do that, you have absolutely no way to contact them or help them.

I wondered the same thing. When I signed up, I saw you as a pending friend request. The same thing happened with the person I referred. He had to approve the request before I could write to him. It seems like referring someone should automatically approve the friendship request.

Exactly. If not listed as friends, there should be some other way to contact them.
If they don't have any idea how the site works, they may not come back. I don't like to leave people out there floundering, I want to help them!
