how do you add someone as a colleague?
how do you add someone as a colleague? 
33 posts by 14 users
Click the "Follow" link below their avatar. On that screen is a checkbox of "Also request <name> add you as a colleague". That will send a colleague request. Once they accept, you're colleagues and can PM each other.

I just recently signed up with BP and was wondering how in the world to do that. So your question Jason and your answer Jon came at the right time. Thanks;-)
Alright, I thought I had it but apparently don't... I can't seem to find the checkbox that Jon mentioned. Is it staring me in the face? Do you have to have the "Pro" version in order to request colleagues? Thanks for the help.
When you click the follow link, you should get a box that has that as an option, @Drew Dickinson.
If it isn't working for you, never fear, but I will need a tiny bit of patience.
We're actually in the process of rebuilding our colleagues/follower system, and are slated to launch the new one on Monday. The new system is designed to be less confusing and far more user friendly.
If you can wait until then, you'll be all set. If not, I probably won't be able to fix any bugs you're dealing with, as we are completely re-writing from scratch.
Thanks for the understanding, and I'm sorry for the troubles.

Thanks Josh... I'm fine waiting.. I'll just try again next week. "Knowing is half the battle" and your text relieved some of my frustration and confusion. Also, thanks a ton for this site. After wading the guru maze for the past few years, I'm still shocked that someone has put together a site where people are honestly helping people succeed. Phenomenal!
Good deal! Also, thanks for the great message. I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad to hear you're a fan!

I used to have the option "add as colleague" when i clicked on the members name, but as of recent that option is no longer shown.
James -
If you go to the profile of someone you're not connected to, you don't see the follow link?

@Joshua Dorkin - I thought it was me because I don't see it either.
I've tested this out and see the follow link on both profiles and next to forum posts. Are you guys seeing the follow link next to forum posts?
Again, this functionality is being completely replaced in the beginning of next week, but it seems strange to me that some of you are having problems....
What about this user? http://www.biggerpockets.com/users/testing
Do you see the follow link below the influence score below their profile pic?

I can see the follow link. But I don't see an "add as a colleague" option after I clink on the follow link or if I just go to someone's profile who I'm not colleagues with.
No biggie as I can wait til next week, personally.
I see it Josh and I checked with both Firefox 11.0 and Internet Explorer 8. Don't have Chrome on this computer.
Thanks guys.
When you click the follow link, you should be directed to a page in the dashboard with the following:
If that isn't happening, we're definitely experiencing some kind of bug. As I said, I tested and everything worked for me.
It should all be irrelevant, as we'll be replacing it all next week, but I do want to clarify, as it is important to know what happened. Thanks.

That's what I *used* to get. I now get their main profile page.
Ok - Thanks @Ibrahim S. That's what I needed to know.

I have noticed I picked up another 7 followers in the last week but the numbers on the left side aren't changing again.
It's like it's frozen.This happened in the past before and it took awhile to correct.
@Joel Owens - What are the "numbers on the left side" that you're referring to? Can you be more specific? Thanks.
