Q:How do I post images in my Blog?
Answer
There are two ways to post images on your blog. If the image is located on the web, you can link to it, and if not, you can upload it to CS.
If the image is on another website: find the image you want on another website, then right click on the image and copy the url where it says "Address (URL)", then post the url of the image into your blog between [img][/img] tags.
For example: [img]http://www.connectingsingles.com/i/free_online_dating.jpg[/img]
upload the image to CS: Click on Blogs in the top nav, then click on My Blogs, then click on Upload Blog Photos. Upload the photo(s) you want to include in your blog, then copy the code in the column next to the image that says "Image Code" and paste that into your blog.

Q:Why can't I send more than one eCard to a person in a day?
Answer
You can send 1 eCard within a 24 hour period to EACH member. So that a member cannot receive more than 1 eCard from you in a 24-hour period.
The reason for this limit is that many members don't want their eCardbox flooded... even by someone they are interested in. Quality wins over quantity there.
eCards are for 'special' connections and occasions. Use mail for general correspondence.

Q:I can't hear the music when I view an eCard?
Answer
1) Let's start with a test. Please click the Play button on the following box to see if you can hear the music:
2) If you do not hear the music, make sure to turn the volume up on your computer's speaker.
3) If you still do not hear the music, there may be a yellow bar across the top of the page that asks you if you want to "Allow" or "Deny". Click the "Allow" button to hear the music.
4) If you're still having trouble, please Contact Us and tell us which Browser and OS you are using. So that we can try to find a solution.
NOTE: If the above audio file works, then that means it should also work on the eCards. Note that not all eCards have music. If an eCard has music, it will have a Play Button like the above audio file.
