Sending messages to another member
Dating Club members who have upgraded to full membership can send
other Dating Club members messages. Full membership is great way
to increasing your chances of meeting new people and you can
contact as many members as you like. There is no limit whatsoever
on the amount of members you can contact and membership is growing
daily.
How do I send someone a message?
First, you need to search the Dating Club site. Simply choose the
search criteria for the type of person you are looking for and
click on the SEARCH button positioned on the menu bar to the
left of this screen.
While viewing members dating ads, you will see links under each
personal; one of which is Send this Member a Message
When you find a member that you would like to contact, simply
click on this link. This will take you to a page where you can
write that person a message. After you send the message, it
is stored in our messages database. The intended recipient will
receive notification that there is a message for them the next
time they login. They can then view the message and if they
so wish reply to sender. Of course there is complete anonymity
and both the sender and recipient only know each other by dating
name & MemberID at this stage.
Please note that only full members can send and receive dating
messages.
Within
the members area there are many options to send messages.
From within your favorites list you have the option of sending
members messages simply by clicking on the Send this member
a message under each members details.
When a member's profile is viewed there is the option of sending
that member a message again by clicking on the Send this member
a message link under their dating profile.
When you read a message sent to you by another member there
is the option of replying to that message by clicking on the
Reply to this message link.
Read messages will be maintained on the Dating Club database for
a period of 40 days after which time they are deleted so as
to prevent our system getting overloaded. Put interesting things
in your message. People aren't interested in one sentence messages.
Be specific and tell our users a little about yourself. Don't
be shy! Be honest! but most of all DO SEND MESSAGES to other
members. After all nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Favorites list
This facility is available to all members of Dating Club. When a
search is performed the personals returned have a series of
links associated with them. One of these options is to add a
specific member to your list of favorites. By simply clicking
on the ADD TO FAVORITES option the user can create
their own personal list of favorites which they can access and
modify at any time.
Full members have the added advantage of being able to add a
member who has sent them a message to their list of favorites.
It is the hope of Dating Club that this feature will make it easier
for members to keep track and possibly contact other members
that interest them. Of course the user also has the option to
remove people from their favorites list if they so choose.
Blocking messages from another member
If for some reason you decide that you don't want to receive
further messages from a member of our dating service just go
to one of their messages and click on the Block Sender
link at the bottom of their message.
By blocking a member they will no longer be able to send you
messages but they are not notified of this fact. Instead any
further messages they send you will be deleted by our system.
The block sender facility has been introduced for many reasons,
the most important of which being that it gives our members
the ability to actively decide who they wish to communicate
with. It also provides an added level of security and reassurance
to our members. As with all forms of dating there are instances
where a member might decide they don't wish to proceed with
a relationship and then later change their mind. Dating Club have
taken this into consideration and as such members can change
their list of restricted senders at any time if they so wish.
Off course you can also place a member back on the list at a
later stage but such is love!!!!
Notification of new message
By default members are sent an e-mail to notify them of new
messages they have received from other Dating Club members. Members
who do not wish to be notified by e-mail can switch off this
feature by clicking on the Turn off notification
link in the members options section of their control panel.
The link then changes to Turn on notification
which members can use to reactivate e-mail notification of messages.
On logging into the Dating Club site, members are presented with
information regarding their personal such as number of views,
no of members who have added them to their favorites and a the
number of new messages they have received since they last logged
in.
Beside this information is the link Read new messages which
when clicked present the members with any new messages sent
to them.
Please note that only full members can read messages sent to
them.
