Q:How do I add a question to the Question Pool?
Q:What are Tags?
Answer
Tags are keywords to connect members with like interests. When you tag your profile, (Blog, Video, or eCard), it helps members find your profile, (Blog, Video, or eCard) who are interested in that tag.
Members can visit the
Tags page and click on the tags they are interested in, and your profile, eCards, videos, and eCards will be listed with the tags you've added.
- profile tag example: Tagging your profile with "camping", would help members who are interested in "camping" to find you.
- eCard tag example: Tagging your ecard with "flowers", would help members find your eCard who are looking for an eCard with "flowers".
- Video tag example: Tagging your video with "dancing" would help members find your video who are interested in watching videos about "dancing".
- Blog tag example: Tagging your blog with "embarrassing" would help members find your blog who are interested in reading blogs about "embarrassing" stories.
Note: Make sure your tags are relevant. If your eCard has nothing to do with "flowers", then don't tag it with "flowers". If "camping" is not your interest, don't tag your profile with "camping".

Q:What is a blog on Connecting Singles?
Answer
A Blog is a journal you may enter about your life, your thoughts, interesting experiences, or lessons you have learned. It's your own page on Connecting Singles that you can update on a regular basis, or just whenever you have something to say. You can write about an opinion, impart words of wisdom, or talk about something interesting in your day. Creating a blog is a good way to share something of yourself with Connecting Singles members. Reading blogs is a good way to learn more about members you have met here.
A blog IS NOT a personal-ad describing yourself or the person you are seeking. You have a profile on the site for that.
A blog is NOT for one-to-one chatting. You have onsite email for that. Click the "Email" button on a member's profile.
A blog IS NOT a Forum for discussion, debate, advice or asking questions of other members. Join the
Connecting Singles Forums for these purposes.
Use your blog to record your thoughts, opinions and ideas. All blogs are open to viewing by the public and to comments from other members (unless you disabled comments). You may read and then delete those comments to your blog if you wish. You may edit your own blog, however, you may not edit your comment to another member's blog.

Meet Me page.

Q:How can I know if a member is who they say?
Answer
We do everything we can at Connecting Singles to provide a quality and safe environment for singles to meet. However, we do not do background checks, and we have no way of knowing if the information a member enters in their profile is actually true, or if their photo is really of them.
It is up to each member to use good sense and extreme caution when corresponding over the internet with people they do not know. Don't be pressured to give personal information about yourself or family. Your onsite mailbox is provided to protect your anonymity. Use it. Don't give out your personal email address early on.

Q:They say they can't upload a photo... how likely that is true?
Answer
The photo excuse... If they want your email address to send you a photo with the excuse that they “can’t get a photo on the site”, or they “don’t know how to add a photo”, this may be a ploy to get your private email address. If they can email a photo to you… they can email (or mail) that photo to this site to be added for them.
Refer them to their Upload Photos page for details. Sharing your private email address may put you on mailing lists and subject you to loads of spam.
ConnectingSingles does not share your email address and NEVER sends spam.

Q:Why would someone ask me to mail or IM them on another site, when mail & IM here is FREE?
Answer
Usually this means one of the following things:
- The person is only here to advertise for another site...usually a start up with no members.
- The person is a scammer who wants to get you off the site... away from scam reports by other members or site systems that will expose them.
- They want to take you to a site where they can charge you, collect personal information about you, or give you a computer virus.
