Q: Is my personal information safe
and secure?
A: Yes no one will see your registration
information. There is a privacy setting option for each profile
only allowing communication and profile viewing by those marked
as your friends. For more details view out Private
Policy.
Q: I accidentally entered in my gender wrong how
can I change it?
A: Send an email to SkiGuy and ask him to
change it for you.
Q: How do I change what is displayed
in my profile?
A: To edit your profile, first click on "My
Profile" at the top nav bar, then "Edit Profile"
in your profile. You can also customize your profile using
html code, CSS, or javascript (like Myspace.com). When you
do insert new media into your profil (flash movies or games,
music videos, sound files) please insert their code into the
'Media' field on your 'Edit Profile' page. I try to keep a
page available for users that keeps track of the most popular
CSS code used (click
here).
Q: How do I add colors, fonts, sizes
and urls to profile, posts and signature?
A: You can modify the text and fonts on your
profile by using html. If you don't know html there are free
online editors that can help. example: (click
here).
Q: How big of a picture can I upload?
A: Idealy, the picture you submit should
be 140kb to 300kb. If you don't know how to resize it, the
easiest way to do it is;
Open it up in MS Paint
ctrl+w and change the size depending on how much bigger it
is... usually 50x50 works well.
If you change it, and there's still something wrong, don't
keep changing it, that'll distort the picture and ruin it.
Start from scratch, do a ctrl +z and try another size. Or
for those of you using Photoshop, go to Image --> Image
Size --> change the percentage, and save.
Q: I just tried to upload a picture
and it says it needs to be in JPG or JPEG format. It already
is! What do I do?
A: Please open your picture in MS paint and
resave it as JPEG. If it is a .jpeg, then it's over 100kb
(see above to find out how to fix it).
Q: I uploaded a new picture, but
it still shows my other one of my profile. What do I do?
A: This means that your pages aren't refreshing.
Try refreshing your pages (F5, CTRL+F5. ALT+R, hit the refresh
button on your toolbar, or right click and select refresh).
And make sure to do it on the page that's not refreshing.
If none of those worked, you should check your settings;
Internet Explorer --> Tools --> Internet Options -->
Under the General Tab --> Under Temporary Internet Files
--> Settings --> Make sure automatically is checked,
then click ok. Remember that this is just your computer it's
happening on, and everyone else can see your new picture.
Please don't keep resubmitting your picture.
Q: What if I want to reset my rating?
A: To reset your rating, go to My Profile,
and then click on the reset rating button. This will bring
you to a page with the rules to it, and then by clicking the
next link to continue, it will reset your rating.
Q: How do I
add more then just three photos to my musicoop profile?
A: First you'll need a site to store your
photos on for example www.photobucket.com
. Once you create an account at 'photobucket.com'
or a similar site, it will give you a URL for other people
to go and look at your photos.
Note: To make your photobucket pictures
viewable to the public:
log into your photobucket.com account then click on 'account
options' then scroll down to 'Album Options'
now select 'Make public'.
Q: How do I become
the Main Featured member and what is it exactly?
A: It depends on your over all rating and
the preference of the site owner SkyGuy.
1. Eligibility. To be eligible to become the Main Featured for the week you must have a relatively high rating, an appealing profile, membership for at least a week, more then one photo in your profile, a music media file in your profile, and genuine looking photos.
2. Limitations. The site has the right to cancel or change the main featured member's featured status at anytime. Being a main featured member lasts a week. This doesn't mean that you won't be chosen to be the main featured again in the future.
