1. HELP FOR SEARCHING PERSONALS

The Personals section helps you locate a specific user by clicking through "Categories". Simply select the Category that you wish to look through. Then, click on any member ad. Here, you can view their profile details, send them a letter, rate their profile, save it in your favorites, send it to a friend, print it out on your printer and even find how far away they are from you by using our zip code distance finder.

3. PHOTO HELP

EZDATE123.COM allows up to three photos to be viewed in the personals. EZDATE123.COM has strict guidelines concerning all photos. Please read about our photo guidelines carefully.

Photos will be accepted as JPEG, GIF, or PNG format, and must be smaller than 150 Kbytes in size. Our system will not upload your file if it is larger than the specified size. If your photo does not show up in your profile when you attempt to upload it, you must login to My Profile and attempt to upload a new photo with the correct size requirements. The program will automatically convert the image to a thumbnail as is shown on any classified ad page. If you use a postage stamp sized picture of yourself and we scale it up, you're probably not going to like the effect.

Remember, a well scanned, nice photo will definitely increase you chances of making a connection.

4. MAILBOX HELP

To enter your personal mailbox, simply click on the Mailbox link. There you will find mail that was sent to you from other members, and you will be able to read and delete messages, and reply to users.
The EZDATE123 message system works just like other types of webmail, but only communicates with other EZDATE123 members for your convenience and safety. It is simple to use, and offers you a greater chance of meeting that special someone when using our site.

The following describes the use of your mailbox.

Inbox = New messages you have received from other EZDATE123 members
Sent = Messages that you have sent to other EZDATE123 members
Trash = Messages you delete

You may add attachments such as images and files such as Word or text documents up to 300k in file size. Use common sense when sending other members messaging attachments. Not everyone is connected to high speed internet, so avoid large files such as MP3's.

Please delete your old messages to allow room for new messages, because you account is limited to a certain amount of disc usage.

5. PASSWORD HELP

Your password is your single most important feature to insuring your privacy and security on this web site. We recommend that you change it regularly and that you never pass it on to anyone. To change your password, click on My Account and click on Edit Password. When you change your password, you will be required to enter it twice. Then you will have to log back in, so be sure to use your new password. We recommend that you write your password on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place that only you have easy access to.

If you have forgotten your password, click Lost Password under the login box, then enter your email address, click Get It, and it will be emailed to the email address you provided.

6. PASSWORD DON'TS

Don't use your user name or real name in any form even reversed, capitalized, or doubled.

Don't use any other information easily obtainable about you. This includes the name of your spouse or child, license plate or telephone or social security number, the make of your automobile, the name of the street you live on, etc.

Don't use a password of all digits, or all letters.

Don't use a word contained in any English or foreign language dictionary, spelling lists, or other lists of words. This protects you from dictionary attacks.

Likewise, don't append a digit or punctuation mark to a dictionary word. Dictionary attacks frequently attempt these variants for each actual word.

Don't use the same password for every system on which you have an account.

Don't share your password or account with anyone else.
