add a friend to message room

[everguard]

I am trying to add a friend to my discussion with my freelancer. I have tried everything I can think of. I can not even add my friend as a "friend" as suggested in a help file. Yes, my friend is on UpWork. I have clicked on their profile. And no, I can not find anything that I can click on in order to add them as a "friend". I have also sent the email invitation which my friend never recieved. Why is this so difficult?

Hi Jeff,

If you haven't already, please check out this help article for some advice on Adding Team members.

Could you please click on my picture next to this post and send me a private message with more info about the account you're trying to invite?

Thanks!
