Phooey!
Just goes to show ya... got a buddy request and can't get it into my buddy list... nohow.

.... and I've got folks who want me to try my hand at Skype?

At any rate, "...consider yourself a friend... (sings)" even if I am a computer putz.

RE: Phooey!
I know from experience, and Drew telling me, that there are features that came with the forum code that are not integrated with forum operations. That may be what you have run into. I have a buddy list and have not found it useful. The only thing it seems to do is provide an address book for private messages.

Skype is the preferred VoIP app amongst the PG population, my preference too. I have also used Zoom (short sessions & restarts), Teams (just sucks) and Whats App (requires cellphone). They all work, but Skype seems to be best for gaming.

RE: Phooey!
Wish that I could offer definitive help with your issue.

In my limited experience, accepting a buddy invitation involves going to one's individual control panel (CP) in the Forums section of the PG-HQ website. I think that once there, one looks for a button that must be selected to accept an invitation to join another registered PG-HQ user's buddy list in the left-hand panel. I don't remember exactly where that is, but I know that it's not really an intuitive process to find it.

Good luck, Gunny.

I think I got it working once... Not happily. I use Skype. It is free when dialing another skype person I think.. Anyone? when you're ready to play and we will figure out some way.

Yes, Skype to Skype calls are free, and without time limits.

Perhaps you should send a buddy request back to whoever sent you the first one?

Don't know. It works for me. The delete thread works too.
