Friends, Family and Fans

I recently discovered names added to this section of my SmugMug site and I'm wondering if anybody could shed some light on how they got there? I've contacted one of the people in question and he was obviously as perplexed by the mystery as I am myself and didn't add himself. I'm assuming the same is true of the others. All are members of another forum I'm also a member of.

It's not a huge issue as I don't have that section visible on my homepage anyway (as a rule) and it was easy enough to remove names from the friends/family areas, but naturally I'm curious as to what's happened.

I don't think it's anything I've done myself, certainly not deliberately anyway.

    This is why I always read the support pages. I didn't know a lot about Friends and Family so I checked mine.

    There is a fan listed, http://157086waloeiii.smugmug.com/, but when I go to see who it is, I get the Smugmug home page. What does that mean?

    Yes, thank you, I'd read that already.

    But that still doesn't explain how two people I barely know and whose sites I hadn't visited ended up listed under 'family'.

    they could've clicked the wrong link (this is my *friend *family) by accident.

    I've clicked some of some of those "friends·family" links before I knew what they were for. That's probably what happened here too.
