• Hi Everyone,

  We have three items of news for you this month.

  1. QUESTION OF THE MONTH

  Q. "I specified in my profile that I wanted to be matched
  with Females in the 40 - 55 years Age Group and you
  have been matching me with teenagers some of whom
  are Males!"

  A. It's the way you set up your profile...

  In the 'Information about who you're looking for'
  section where it says GENDER, you need to make 
  Female 'ESSENTIAL'.
  
  Desirable or Quite Desirable will bias matches towards
  Females, but it may also match you with some Males if they
  match so high on your other criteria that their total score
  outranks some of the Females!

  "ESSENTIAL" however will only match you with the
  gender you have nominated.
  
  If you find you are being matched with penpals who
  are way too young (or far too old) you need to make the
  Age-category 'Essential' as well so that you are ONLY matched
  with people in your specified age group.

  You can always use the 'Quick Search' function to manually
  locate members who are in the next older or next younger
  category should you want a wider range of ages.

  To make these updates to your Profile, from your Main Menu
  click on [View Your Profile] then click on [Redo Profile]

  NOTE: Gender, Age & Country are the only places we recommend
  you use the extreme rating of "ESSENTIAL".

   

  2. QUICK SEARCH

  Just wanted to let you know the "Quick Search" function
  has been enhanced so that if you are logged into "Detailed
  Listings" a search will now return up to 50 results and in
  "Summary Listings" your searches now return up to 100 -150
  results!
   
  The search results are now completely random (within the
  criteria you are searching on of course) so each time you
  repeat the search you will get more names in the results
  (providing there were more people that matched what you
  were searching for than could be displayed in the original
  set of results).

  If you are having trouble uploading your photo into your
  profile or are not sure if it has gone through properly,
  email us a copy of your pic PenPals-Plus@dating-now.com
  and we will reduce or enlarge it to just the right size and
  place it in your profile for you.
  
   
  4. WEBTV USERS
   
  Some MSN TV/WebTV users are reporting trouble logging into
  their PenPals Plus Main Menu.
  
  We think WebTV might have a problem with long web pages...
  
  That would explain why it lets you login initially and create a
  profile and then next time it refuses to load your page.
  
  (What changed in the meantime is your Main Menu is now populated
  with matches which makes it 3 to 4 times longer than it was before!)
  
  If you page seems to be stuck and does not fully load,  one thing that
  sometimes helps is if you 'refresh the screen'.
  
  There should be an option button on your
  keyboard and when you hit it then it a screen
  pops up on the TV and "reload" is one of them.....
  
  but an easier way to refresh the screen is to hit the
  "cmd" button and "R" at the same time and it will reload
  ....either way is good.
  
  If that doesn't help then a more drastic solution is for us
  to do some surgery on your page and remove enough matches
  to make WebTV happy. Just email me and let me know if
  you need this done.
  
  It is a bit of a nuisance but I would recommend that
  on an ongoing basis you keep your page down to 6 - 12 matches
  by deleted any excess. Usually the ones near the end of the page
  are not quite as good matches as the ones towards the top.
  
  That will help prevent your page running foul of WebTV in the
  future.
  
  As we add new matches almost daily, you will probably need
  to do this "pruning & trimming" a couple of times per week.
  
  
  Good luck and enjoy!
