Go to someone's userpage. Example
Click the text near his or her icon that says "Add as a friend"
It will warn you that the receiver of the friend request will be notified.
Click "Okay"
And now you have a Scratch friend!

My personal page says "no friends added" but has no link to add friends...help
Yup!same here
The links are on not on your userpage, but, rather, the userpage of the friend you want to add. You have to go to the userpage of the friend you want to add; then you click on the link to add them.
i think scratch should have a " "so and so wants to be your freind. do you accept?"

Something like that is already under consideration. The ST is thinking about changing the friend system on Scratch along with the website changes involved for Scratch 2.0.

We're all friends now The friend adding feature is working in case anyone checking this out is wondering. I made some friends today.

How do I get to someones userpage?

Hmm, methinks this thread (or a cleaned-up version of this thread) should be stickied somewhere in the forums (probably the FAQ) since so many people are asking for help to add friends.

I have a question about the etiquette side of adding friends on Scratch.
Is it meant to be used for adding people you actually know and who will probably want to add you back (like Facebook), or is it considered ok to just add anyone who has interesting projects, as a way of being notified when they post a new project? Basically, should I ask people if it's ok if I add them as a friend, or should I just go ahead and friend away?

One issue on Scratch is that some people view the friending system like a following system on twitter or the watching system on dA because a "friend"'s project appears on the front page. The reaction is mixed. Some don't really care, but others get freaked out (especially younger users and parents of users) when they see a stranger friending them. Other times, a user friends someone expecting to be friended back in return, only to not get that friending back. The friending ettiquette has never been consistent around here because it's not a two-way system.
While some people do just add users right away, keep in mind that some users and some parents of users here are wary of the friend system. I think it's more polite if you ask them. Besides, even if they say "no", it doesn't mean you can't track that user's projects anymore - you can always use the RSS feed instead to keep track of new uploads.

I don't get freaked out when people friend me, I take it as a compliment, because I'd assume that it means they like my projects.

I dislike the current friending system. It takes two to be friends, so how come you don't have to have the other person's consent? I'd prefer it if there was a friending system and then a separate subscribing feature.

Then you'll like 2.0, the following system is much better, in my opinion, too. Currently, I use the friend system to be able to see new projects from a few users' who's projects I like on the front page "My Friends' Latest Projects" section. But, other people have different ideas about what being a Scratch friend means, which gets confusing and hard to guess. But with 2.0, following someone will mean the same thing for everyone: they like your projects and/or want to watch your activity.

Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like 2.0 will make things clearer for everyone.

How could you have posted in the FAQ forum? I don't see the new topic button anywhere!
