MEMBER SAFETY FEATURES ADDED
IP Address Country
To continue to be one of the safest sites on the internet,
we will be implementing various features to allow you to identify safe members. One is our
IP address checking, which is 95% accurate.
Based on the last IP address a member uses to enter the site, within the profile, we display
the IP address country.
Why is this important? If a member claims to be from the U.S., but is actually entering
via a country known for scamming, then be careful.
Note, many of our members are missionaries. If in doubt, request the U.S. phone number of
their U.S. home phone, church pastor and/or employer for a reference.
Sweetheart scammers claim to be from the U.S., but traveling abroad on business.
Never cash a money order for someone abroad or give bank account info. The money orders
are bogus, and when your bank finds out, they'll take the money out of your account!
We pay an award-winning vendor in order to keep our IP address database updated monthly!
Email Validation
Within each profile, you may view whether the person has had their email address confirmed
or not.
A valid email address not only ensures the member will receive mail notices when you write to them,
but also helps confirm there is a real person behind the profile.
Use the
CONFIRM EMAIL
link found within your profile
to make sure your email address is valid. Then press the button to have a confirmation password
emailed to you (this does NOT change your site password, it is only used this once for
email confirmation). Keep the screen open while you check your email. Then type in the password
received on the open screen, and submit it. If you have typed the password correctly, your
email will be confirmed. So far, any failures in successfully confirming the email have been
due to folks not keeping their screen open and coming back later. If you close your screen,
you'll need to start over and have it sent to you again.
NEW FREE MEMBER FEATURES
Certain menu items were reserved for Sapphire and Ruby paid members, but now are available
to ALL members, Paid or FREE! These items include the 2-WAY, compatibility, detailed,

NEW COUNTRIES ADDED
Our Country List has been added to add about 10 new countries, and remove several
ones that no longer exist. I guess I learned something about geography today. I
can't assume this list never changes!
NEW CHAT ROOMS
Our Chat Rooms are FREE to ALL Members! When members are online, we encourage
you to shoot an online mail or send a Quick Message to a member asking them to meet
you in chat. You can either choose to both meet in the #FellowshipHall with everyone
else and get to know one another there in an open environment. Or, you may wish to
meet in one of our private getaways such as our #ScubaLagoon, #SeasideStroll or
#SecludedCove.
This is an English speaking website, but for those desiring to converse
in another language, there is the #NonEnglish room.
As always, we still offer the #PrayerRoom for those desiring to get away from the
bustle of the other rooms and pray and discuss serious personal problems.
Remember, members are not allowed
to exchange personal contact information in our chat rooms. If your membership allows
you that privilege, please use the online MAIL
.
