Welcome to our `How to Use Page`. Here you will find all tips on how to use this website and how all functions work. We are adding New functions all the time!

Firstly you need to register, registration is fast, easy & free!!! Please make sure you have a jpeg picture saved on your computers hard drive, a Profile with a Picture gets more hits and profile views than a silohuette! You can add up to 10 images!!!

Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email from us, you need to confirm your email address. Once you have confirmed, we will launch your profile for you and then you have full access to the site and its functions!

You are then able to view other members profiles, send them messages to their personal in box and send them instant messages... we will explain how to use these functions as we go on...

To send someone a message, you simply click on their profile. You will see "send a message to...... private inbox". You simply click on that, put a `subject` in that area such as `Hi`, click in the message box and type your message, once you are happy with the message, just click send message. The member you have sent a message to will get an `Email alert` to tell them that they have received a message from you. All messages you receive, send or save are all stored in `Your Area` in `See Your Messages` or you can access your messages from the top of the screen, where you have a toolbar.. with `My Profile`, `Messages` etc etc.

Instant Messaging is a Great Function to use and is really easy. If somebody is online and can chat, you will see the Green writing underneath their image saying "Online Now For Instant Chat".. "click here to request chat". All you do is click on the boxed Green Text, this will then send the member a Chat Invitation, which will appear on the right hand side of their screen. They then have the opportunity to View your Profile, Accept your chat request, Reject or they can click unavailable. What appears in front of you is a box that says waiting for a response from the person you are wanting to chat with, with a 30 second countdown, if you do not get a reply you can click `wait another 30 seconds` or cancel. It will let you know if they are viewing your profile, are unavailable or have rejected your chat. If they click to accept your request, they will then enter the private chat room, you just write the text you want to send in the box below and click send. If for any reason they have to leave the chat room, you will see a message in the Chat screen that says ???? has had to leave the chat.

You can have more than one chat going at once, just remember to drag the chat box that you have open to the right of the screen as the new chat will appear underneath, then you will have the 2 chat boxes open at once and are able to talk to both. Also, you have to click in each individual chat room message box to type your message, as it won`t write or send both at once!
