Making friends
Hey Grant.
It may just be my personality, but I can't make friends. 
Adding someone as a friend returned a "Page not found" error.
I hope to someday have some friends....

Under "view public profile" you get by clicking on the name of a user.
In your case, Thomas, it says
"T.REX63 has not made any friends yet"

This is terrible, ...I'm friendless in Atlanta .
Tried to be your friend, but the systems kicks me out too...
Edit: I take that back, checked my "Friends & Contact" section, and I do have 4 Friends & Contacts...  . Still, the system kicked me out when I used the button you suggested :confused1:

Hey Mika!!
I think that it is so you can keep the contact information of your HU friends in one place.
I just like to try new things, so I had to click on the friend button!
It actually seems to be working, but it sends you a "Page not found" error anyways.

Yes - it works, but the path you are redirected to is wrong. Another annoying little bug we need to sort - you can correct it if you read the path - it's basically there twice - e.g. this path:
Code:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/user/chris-in-tokyo
is what I got when I "friended" Chris - the correct path is simply the last bit, from the second http on:
Code:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/user/chris-in-tokyo
Sorry for the bugs guys, we're working on it but it will take a little while!
Mika, it's all about connecting with people!
There's a LOT of stuff we on the web we may - or may not - need - or want - like facebook  - but some people do - if you don't want it, ignore it. BUT some people love it and will use it a lot - and we always try to make everyone as happy as we can!
Some people say we don't need the web... or electronic ignition, points worked fine... 5 gears - heck 4 was plenty! etc...
Use what you like and ignore the rest! And have a

Hello Grant,
yes well said, and true ... I only use what I like the rest I ignore ... but also things that I like change and become unusable for me ...
after I read your word ... this came to my mind ....
you have 4523 friends on Fakebook/Twister or now on the Hubb .... but you have forgotten who is a real friend, and what the word friend means.
sure I understand that you have to make as many users of your website as happy as you can, make it as popular as Fakebook/Twister and have all informations on the Hubb easily connectable/exchangable with this websites.
first they changed from 4 to 5 gears, than from points to electronic ignition and in the near future you cant ride a bike anymore without a black box that records where you go, how fast you go .... and all other details of your life ... and than they switch off your bike from a remote computer because you could miss your next flu shot appointment if you leave town .....
One day I will walk into a bar, the cctv camera on the road told the owner of the bar already that I am coming ... he can see on his monitor behind the bar, that I had two s in other bars in the last hour, that I did not pay for my health insurance in three months and also that in 1997 the police took my license for speeding. So I go to the bar and ask for a , the barman tells me, because of all the smilies drinking on my Hubb posts, he can not give me a , because his insurance would not cover me having an accident in his bar because I have a drinking record.
Yes, everybody has to decide when to stop supporting this so called developments....
My 2 p worth at 2.50 am about your words connecting with *friends*
Saludos de Salta

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
