A 'contact' is someone you wish to keep in your private list of other members.

A 'friend' is someone you have "made friends with" -- who is in your 'friends' list.

You can add a 'contact' to your list at any time; if you send someone a "friend request" - and, they accept it - they "become your friend" and get added to your 'friends' list. The same works in reverse if someone sends you a "friend request" - and, you accept it.

OOPS! Left something out...

if you send someone a "friend request" - and, they accept it - they "become your friend" and get added to your 'friends' list.
And, you get added to their 'friends' list.

I understand the sentiment here ( even though I do not know what the writing says ;) ) - especially in certain 'spiritual' contexts, but -- I would like to think that there is a woman somewhere on this Earth who could / would feel comforted / secure / etc. in my arms... :cool:

Contacts are made so it's easier to message people privately without having them on your friends list. Seems an odd option to me, but maybe someone finds it useful.
You can see who on your contacts/friends list is signed on by using the pop up list. Unless someone is stealthing, of course.

Quick Links -> Open Contacts Popup

Hey bro...and how do I know if they are in my contact list ?

Yeah it's odd for me too because why they need to be on your contacts if they don't want to be friends with you :D

Thanks bro :) for taking the time to answer my question :)

God bless you.

A contact will show up under the last 10 visitors list but is not a friend. Anyone can add a member as a contact without permission from this person who is now a contact. You can only remove as a contact those that you chose to be a contact. A friend will show up on your friends list, and will also be listed on the last 10 visitors list. At least this is my understanding. :)

Everyone shows up in the "last 10 visitors" list. They do not have to be in your contacts list.

I've been a member over 3 years and I'm still a novice on these technical matters. :)
