Scott's is probably stating pending because he hasn't confirmed you yet
The easiest way to add people is go to Friends
Scroll down Search for People and then Pop in the name or email of the person you are looking for ( email tends to be more accurate than names IF the person is using their normal email addy)
So you now have a list of people... look for ones that say "you have mutual friends" Click where it says that... likely someone from your online life from the boards will pop up and you will know that you have the right whoever you were looking for since they have the same friends as you. Just click add as a friend or whatever it says. If they have NO clue who you are.. they don't have to accept you. You also have the option of putting a note when you send a friend request like "Hey its Broken A from H.com" to further clarify who the heck you are.
Sometimes it will make you do a capcha thingy to prove you are human. It then sends a request for approval to the person you are adding. They do have to click and approve you before you are added to their list.
At that time.. you can see (dependant upon their settings) most conversations on their "wall", any and all public pictures and profile information. FB will then also give you "suggestions" for new friends ie- people that you have no clue who they are but they are friends of friends. You can either ignore or accept said people.
