Hi all,

I have recently upgraded my old msn to Live Messenger, and for a few days it's been telling me that I have "3 pending requests". I click on that and I get a window saying who made the requests and gives me the option to accept or decline. When I click accept it asks me to enter all sorts of detail which I really don't want to do.

I'm scared to decline in case I delete the three contacts which are peeps I know from forums.

Can anyone help? What do I do with these "requests"? :confused:

Thanks.

Q :)
Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    The requests are from your friends wanting to recieve contact updates. The Live system will automaticlly tell your friends if you enter or change any of your information.

    Thanks. How do I get rid of these requests? If I click on "decline" will I delete the contacts? Or shall I leave it as it is?
