Azensun, Thank's for the welcome. Yep, hung around CB for about a year or so. Not so much anymore.
I tapped on the people icon and the screen it brings up either crashes, or if it does stay active after numerous tries, it has a line of text high lighted in blue that says none which can be changed to say all. If you tap on the word none it brings up a sub menu that gives a few options on of which is
myemailaddress@XXXXXX.com (fictional address), outlook, hotmail and so forth, but no simple contacts menu. In addition to the existing Facebook check box, I've added the email address I signed up with, which allows me to add contact names and phone numbers and the people/contacts app doesn't crash, but I have yet to find a way to DIRECTLY add any contacts without using the afformentioned social media apps or email addresses.
