&lt;p&gt;Joining the discussions in the QCA forums is just one way to talk with QCA members. But if you want to write directly to a member you can ask them to become your friend on the site. As you add friends you can quickly sent them personal messages, keep track of your conversations, and see what your friends are doing on the QCA site. Don&amp;#39;t be shy about asking a member to be your friend. That&amp;#39;s part of what makes the QCA community so rewarding!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do I add a friend?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1.
