My dd found a preschool friend on FB. The option to +Add Friend isn't available. I didn't realize this is something that can be turned off.
Are there any peas that understand this?
TIA!

It's a privacy setting. I believe it's something along the lines of "who can send me friend requests".

I have my privacy set to 'friends of friends' it stops the add friend button showing up to anyone else.

Yup. Privacy settings. She could send the person a private message explaining who she is and say she isn't able to send a friend request. See if the friend friends her instead.

like others said, it's a privacy setting. You can set it to anyone, friends of friends, and no one.
For a while, I had it set to no one. Then I changed it to friends of friends. I think it's back to anyone but I may change it again. I've gotten two spam requests recently.
I miss the days where you could send a request with a note attached.

She won't see that message as emails from non-friends go to your other box and who knows when or if she ever thinks to check that. I do get random friend requests but honestly it's no skin off my back to just decline them. Changing my settings to only allowing friends of friends to add me prevents me from getting requests from long lost friends. Or often I'll go to a party and click with someone and say hey let's stay in touch by adding each other on Facebook. |

This recently happened to me... I tried to friend an old friend, I'm FB friends with all of her kids, but her "send friend request" isn't available. I'd really like to get in touch, but oh well....

I found an old boarding school roommate on FB, but she had it set so I could not send a friend request. I remembered her little sister's name and found her on FB, messaged her and requested that she tell her sister I was looking for her and would she please send me a friend request.
