Show All

This will show you all of your friends.  You have two sort options: either by Recent Friends or by which friends are Online.  From this list you can click on your friend's username or picture to go directly to their profile.  You can click write message to send your friend a message through the Private Messaging system, or you can click the red X on the right to drop this friend from your list.

This is the easiest way to find people who are already members of the Educated Angler Community.  Type in their usernames, like t3pt6k or whaler, or you can type in their real names, like Greg or Tom.  Once members have had an opportunity to fill in their profiles you can put in cities, states, or any other information that might connect you with friends.  

The search results will return a list of members that are related to your search term. From the list, you can write a Private Message or add a member to your friends network.

Invite Friends

You can send your friends who aren't already members of the Educated Angler Community email invitations to become members.

In the To: box you can list a single email address or many email addresses separated by commas, for example,

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

In the Message: box you can type your own message, for example,

Hey!  You really need to register for this site and then join my "Only 20# Salmon" group.

We will automatically add the appropriate links to your profile so that people can become your friends when they sign up.
