Hey Guys:

I have no idea how to swap badges to display a more prominent badge then the hamster. Anyone know how to do this? Also, I havent a clue how to add friends. Someone shed some light on my darkness. THANKS

Go to "My Account" and scroll down to "My Badges". Click on the a badge and a prompt thingy will pop up with your other badge options that you currently possess. You can rearrange them that way as well.

As for adding friends, go to the person's profile and click the big green plus sign underneath the rating bar. They will get a message saying that you added them as a friend.

You rule.
