Likes

[]
Answer
You can only Like someone that is in your own area, and is the gender you are seeking.

If the " Like" button does not show up on a profile, this means the person is the wrong gender or is too far away. Send them a message instead.

We remove mass mailers, solicitors, spammers and scammers and when we do, their Likes are automatically deleted also. This is for your protection. If you receive a notice but see no Likes, it means the profile was removed after your notice went out.

Who's Viewed me TURNED OFF:

  • You will not see who has viewed your profile
  • Others will not see you have viewed them
  • No views to your profile will be recorded while this feature is turned off - so you will not know who is viewing your profile while you have it turned off.

Who's Viewed me TURNED ON:

  • You will start seeing who has viewed your profile
  • Others will see you have viewed them
  • Multiple views on lists are recorded only once. If you view a profile or they view you several times, the view appears only one time on View Lists

Click here to learn how to turn it ON »

[]
Answer
This can mean several things:

  • That member may have their "Who's Viewed Me" list turned off, so their view to your profile was not recorded
  • You may have "Who's Viewed Me" turned off, so that views to your profile are not being recorded
  • The member clicked on the Email/Flower button from a search results page without viewing your full profile.

[]
Answer
There can be several reasons:

  • Your profile is hidden or not approved yet
  • You recently joined, so no one has had the chance to view your profile yet
  • You don't have a photo and so you aren't appearing on very many search results. Most members search by photo-only.
  • You have just turned this feature on after having it off for a while. While it was off, views to your profile were not being recorded.
  • Your views were automatically deleted by our system after 70 days, and you haven't been checking them.

Answer
To get more views to your profile:


The features are all here for you. It's up to you to make the connections.

Also, see this great article we wrote about this called How to get more views to your Profile

[]
Answer
Your Who's Viewed Me List only shows members that have viewed your full profile within the last 60 days, when they are logged in. Each person is ONLY displayed once, even if they view your profile multiple times.

Your View Count is a running total, and will always be higher than the number of people on your Who's Viewed Me List for the following reasons:

1) If one member views your profile 20 times, the View Count will be incremented 20 times, but the member will only show once on your Who's Viewed Me List.

2) The View Count includes the following which will not show on your Who's Viewed Me List:
Logged out Views
Views by people who have turned off Who's Viewed Me
Views by deleted profiles
Views by members that are over 60 days old (and have since been deleted from your List).

Article: An article is a nonfictional composition on a specific topic (stated in the title) about something you have experience or expertise in, or that you have researched. It's presented in an unbiased manner and strives to prove or accomplish its theme. If an opinion is given, it should be based on knowledge. An article has a lesson or point to make and a conclusion. It's goal is to inform and/or entertain. An article is more formal than a blog, and is normally a minimum of 250 words in length. Feedback comments are accepted.

Blog: A blog entry can be whatever you want it to be... it's a personal journal of rants and raves, your opinions or ideas on any topic, or it could be just a note about your day. A blog post is an opinion, therefore biased, can be of any length, and research is not required. it's less formal than an article. Comments are accepted.

Forum Post: If you want to have a group discussion with many members on any topic of general interest, post it in the CS Forum.

Blogs

[]
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.
