Responding to ads

Posted by admin on 16th September 2007

The email links on each ad are encoded so that they cannot be harvested by spammers.

To respond to an ad using an email client (outlook, outlook express, thunderbird, etc.) on your PC or Mac just click on the link.

To respond to an ad using a web based email client (Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) copy the link and ad the site name at the end of the email. For instance if the Reply To link says pers-#### for an ad on TheDateList you would add @thedatelist.com to the end making pers-####@thedatelist.com. The #s being the ads post number. For the CollegeDateList you would add @collegedatelist.com and for the GayDateList you add @gaydatelist.com.

If you need further assistance feel free to contact us.

A few helpful hints

Posted by admin on 21st June 2007

A couple of people have emailed and asked how do i get back to the home page from “such and such” page. If you look in the top right hand corner of every page you will see three icons. The 1st looks like a house - click it and it takes you home to the main page. The second is a question mark and brings you here to the help section. The third is an envelope and take you to the contact us form. Hope that helps.

Maximize your posts with a picture!

Posted by admin on 1st November 2006

A picture is worth a 1000 words and will also get you at least ten times the responses. With that being said, there are some pics that do NOT work to your benefit.

- men, a pic of your genitals are really a turn off to a lady looking to hook-up.
- old pics that do not look like you are good for memories sake but not good to represent how you look.
- fake pics. Hopefully, an explanation is not needed.

What pics work the best?

- A recent face pic (please smile).
- A full body shot (clothed).

What pics are prohibited?

- any pic with graphic sex or object penetration.
- a pic of you with your friends in it. They did not approve their photo to be posted by you.
- copyrighted images you do not own the copyright for.

Happy Posting!
