I have searched the FAQs on limewire. I've tried to do a search here on the topic and I can't find the answer.

All I want to do is add friends to limewire and I can't figure it out. Don't link me to limewire's explanation. All they tell you is how to add friends to your shared folders. They skip the step on actually adding the friends.

I've entered the username of someone on livejournal who also has limewire and that name never shows up in limewire. My own livejournal name shows up, I don't know how I added myself as a friend.

Do I have to be friends over livejournal first then they automatically show up on limewire?

really? Nobody knows?

Give it some time. I'm sure someone knows (not me).
