What does the + sign mean next to all of your names?

Everyone has a plus sign next to their name except me. There is nothing next to mine. Is that because I am new? Thanks!

    If you click on the plus sign
    you can add that person as a friend.

    I'm not sure what adding a friend actually does for you, other than add it to your list of friends on your profile, but there it is!

    On my screen the + is green by the persons sign in name or under the avatar that they have posted and the - is brown in the blue box on the left hand side of their reply.

    I hope this helps.

    tri-focals
    Age doesn't have anything to do with it.
    I am 45 and have tri-focals.
    I was wearing bi-focals when I was about 6 yrs old.

    I'm with you, Megan
    We should be our own friends! Does the ACS have something against self-appreciation or something?

    I remember learning on Sesame Street when I was little that it's important to like yourself -- and don't nobody ever tell me that Sesame Street was wrong!
