This is an example of the check box that needs to be selected when accepting Friendship requests:
When the page is loaded, those who do not have a Friendship with you, but are *pending*, will not have the check box automatically selected. If you simply hit the save changes, you won't receive any error. This seems to cause people to believe they accepted the Friendship requests.

Is this Friends menu the same across vBulletin versions? IMHO, it seems pretty clunky to have to find a small box within the requestor's avatar for it to work.
Maybe there should be a text line or box that clearly states to check that blank box in the avatar. Or at least move the check box outside the avatar and label the box so that a checkmark affirms the request by clicking on the Save Changes button Or maybe changing the text in the button to something like "Accept Friend(s).
The layout of the top half of the box doesn't help either with the "Show Avatar" box and the Save Changes button that are the same as the lower half for the Friend Request.
Just suggesting, but I do think that this process could be made a bit more simple.

Thanks for the help .I just didn't want to accept someone that I had never spoken to .The Message indicator kept making me think I had an incoming message .I would have never seen that little box in the avatar if you hadn't pointed it out to me ..Thanks again
