[info] :how_to_search
Searching is easy. Simply click the "Search" button on the title bar to begin.
On the next screen, you will see the main search page.
Input information about YOURSELF. All of the fields
are optional. however, you will find the best matches by listing something in
all fields. When you are done, click the "search" button at the bottom and
your results will be displayed. You should see a list of pictures and a
title of the post. You may click any of the photos for a larger image.
Or you may click the "view post" link to see the full posting.
When viewing a full post, you also have the option of sending the poster
a message. This should be used responsibly-- the originating IP address of all
messages may be recorded. In addition, the "flag" option will be found at the
bottom of all posts, allowing you to report bad posts.
[info] :how_to_post
Posting is a very easy process. Click the "Post" button on the title bar to begin.
On the next screen you will see the main post page which will allow you to enter
information. Follow the heading titles; you will first enter information about
your desired match (not yourself). This will be used to filter people based on their
characteristics. In the next section, you will enter the actual post information.
The "title" section should be concise and eye-catching, since the field length
is restricted. In the next section, include whatever information you want. The site
will accept some HTML tags, which will allow you to add your own images and customize
text (bold, italic, etc). Unnecessary and insecure HTML tags have been disabled
and will be filtered. After you finish, simply click the "create post" button.
(Don't forget to enter the verification phrase!)
A verification email will then be sent to the email address you provided, which will
allow you to activate and edit your post. Posts that aren't verified will NOT show up
in searches, so be sure to check your email shortly after creating your post.

I am very interested in receiving feedback from the site. The site has a simple theme
and I ask that people consider that aspect when providing feedback. For example, it is
probably a waste of time to write me an email suggesting that I add complex chat
functionality to the site. However, suggestions dealing with improving the flagging
function or the messaging system will be helpful. Thanks!
