These are the frequently asked questions (FAQ's) that we have

second part which contains the question and answer.
What if I want to put in an ad for
multiple relationship types?
If you want to put in an ad for multiple relationship types, just input multiple ads. For
example, if you are looking for a friend or a pen pal, each one will be
an individual ad. This gives you the flexibility to
change the wording for each ad. If you don't want to change the wording,
you can open a second window
and just cut and paste the info into your new ad. This method also gives you the
advantage of being able to enable or disable each individual ad.
The font size is pretty small in some spots, like on the
basic search screen under the interest box. What can I do about this?
All browsers can change the display the font size. For IE, go under View -> Text
Size and then select a larger font. For Netscape use View -> Increase Font and View
-> Decrease Font. We made most of the site with a 12-point (H4) font. Anything
larger took up too much
room. Occasionally, we put small reminders of functionality in a smaller
font. These reminders are usually also contained in the page description paragraph
which should be at the top of the page; unless you have the advanced user flag on your
profile turned on. The reminders will also be included on the help page for that
section. Lastly, you could decrease the size of your screen resolution; i.e. go
down to 800x600 if you were at 1024x768. You could also decrease to 640x480, but
would then have to make use of the scroll bars, as the screen is designed to fit 800x600.
The interest page is all messed up. Some of the
boxes are not drawing correctly. What can I do?
There should be no issues now. We broke the interest
page into sections. That way, you can just look at sections of interests,
or all of the interests if that works better for you! Previously, there
were a couple of people with a screen draw issue on the interest page
because of low system memory. Their computer couldn't handle drawing all
of the interest boxes when it was on one page. If you do still have an
issue with the interest page, please send us feedback and let us
know!
I signed up, and received my
password. Although, when I try to log in my password isn't working.
Check your password. Sometimes there is some confusion between the number
one(1) and the letter L(l). This should not happen again, as we changed
the password to be all upper case. If you cut and paste your password from the
e-mail to the password box, I guarantee it will work.
When uploading a jpeg photo on the update photo
page, I am getting a message saying that it is not a jpeg file.
We have seen this happen on some versions of Netscape Navigator. Netscape
is changing the file somehow during the upload, and no one at Netscape
can tell us why. Unfortunately, until we hear something useful from
Netscape; the workaround is to upload the photo using Microsoft Internet
Explorer. We have not had any issues uploading pics with IE.
