Q:Why is my profile NOT approved yet? Is something wrong?
Answer
Profiles submitted are checked by the system and normally approved shortly after registration. Approval may be delayed if your profile requires manual attention due to your profile info not being complete or accurate. If your location, email address or profile info is not valid, if you enter gibberish, URLs or email addresses in your narratives, or if you use a proxy to access the site, your profile will be put on hold.
We believe that good relationships are built on honesty. If you register false information, your profile will not be approved, or it will be deleted without notice when found or reported.
Heavy staff workload may also cause profile approval delays.
You can

Q:I posted a video but when I play the video, it says it is not available?
Answer
This can happen for two reasons:
- Some videos on Youtube do not allow you to embed them on other sites. If it says "Embedding disabled by request" in the Embed textbox on Youtube (to the bottom-right of the video, after you click on the "Share" button), then the video will not be available when you post it on this site.
- If you posted the video awhile ago, it could have gotten removed from Youtube after you posted it here.
