What is the purpose of DList?

What is a DList ID?

Think of your DList ID as a nick name for yourself while you’re online.  It will be what you use to log in to your profile and it will be the name attached to the e mails you send people.

How many letters/numbers can my DList ID be?

Your DList ID should be at least 2, and no more than 12, letters and/or numbers. The underscore and dash symbols are also allowed. 

What is a headline?

A profile headline is a sentence that sums you up for your profile.  In many ways this is just like a newspaper headline except it’s about you.  If you want people to know something specific about you as soon as they see your profile, the headline is the place for you to put that information.  It’s one short punchy sentence that says something you want people to know about you.  The maximum amount of characters allowed in a headline is 64 which is about 5-9 words. 

What is profile description?

Your profile gives other guys on D List details of who you are in more detail.  It’s about what you are looking for, what you look like, what you’re into…you know – more detailed information.  The maximum amount of characters allowed is 500 which is about 70-100 words.

• Mozilla Firefox 1.5/Mozilla 1.7 and higher
• Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6.0 and higher
• Apple Safari 2.0 and higher

Do I have to post a picture of me?

Yes.  You do have to post at least one picture of yourself so suck it up and dig out that photo from your birthday where you’re looking super sexy and svelte and put it up. 

Think of it this way, when you put up a photo your chances of meeting fascinating and hot new friends or getting a date will more than likely increase by at least 90%.  And that’s the point of D List; to connect people.

If you don’t feel like putting up a direct face shot, find a glamorous slick shot that shows you from a difference angle.  Be creative with the idea of what a photo of you could be.  Don’t flake out and put up some generic, fake shot. 

Make sure the photos you put in your public folder don’t contain cock though.  By all means, put up cock shots, frankly, we’d LOVE to check out any nude shots you’ve got and won’t censor you like myspace does.  You just need to keep them in your private pics folder. 

Note:  If you put up a Microsoft clip art shot of a landscape or say, a DJing kitten as your primary photo it’s only a matter of time before we ask you to do a better job and get your actual shots up. 

What type of photo can I upload?

Photos must have a GIF or JPG extension and should be no larger than 250KB. 

What can my profile NOT include?
 
1) Commercial solicitations or advertisements
2) Abusive language of any kind.
3) Unauthorized use of copyrighted material

What is Verification and Verification Pictures?

Verification is OPTIONAL, but proves the person in your profile pictures is really you, and helps combat the problem of fake profiles.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY TO SET UP A VERIFICATION PICTURE

How to prepare a DList verification picture:

1. Find a sheet of paper
2. Find a dark marker or pen and write the words "DLIST" ALONG WITH YOUR DLIST ID neatly and legibly on the paper as large as possible.
3. Take a picture of yourself holding the sheet of paper. Make sure you are showing the SAME parts of your body you are showing in your other pics, so we can tell it is the same person.
4. Upload the picture in the MediaManager
5. Find the picture you just uploaded and click the "Set as verification pic" link underneath it. The picture will then say "Verification Pic (pending)." This means the DList admins will now review your pic and determine if it is authentic or not. This should take no longer than a few hours.
6. Once verified, your picture will say "Verification Pic (approved)." Congratulations! You are now verified and will appear as a verified member in search, as well as a special link on your profile leading to your verification picture.

Note: Your verification picture will ALWAYS be public. You may change your verification picture by uploading a new one and setting it as the verification pic. Your old picture will continue to be your verification picture until the new one is approved. You can delete your verification picture at any time, however you will then become unverified.

• Don't forget that your profile is a public space. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, IM screens name, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you, such as where you hang out every day.
  
  
• People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about adding strangers to your friends list. It's fun to connect with new Dlist  friends from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend.
  
  
• Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Report it to Dlist right away.
  
  
• Don't post anything that would embarrass you later.
  
  
• Don't mislead people into thinking that you're older or younger. If you are under 18 and pretend to be older, Dlist will delete your profile. If you are over 18 and pretend to be a teenager we will delete your profile as no one under the age of 18 can be on Dlist.com.

How do I post pictures as private?

Your primary picture is always public which means that everyone will be able to see it, but you can upload the others as private so you can choose who sees them. To upload a picture, log in to your profile and click on "Upload/Manage your pics." You will see four tabs to choose from; “Your public pictures”, “Your private pictures”, “Your public videos”, “Your private videos”.  Choose which category you want to upload to and click on it.  (Portrait and G rated shots go in the public folders while anything x rated or nude has to go in the private ones.)  Then, browse to the location of the picture on your computer. Once you have found the picture you want to upload, select that file and click Open. Then click the "Upload it" button.  Make sure you check to see how large your photo file is.  There’s a 250KB limit on each image.

Once you’ve uploaded your private pics, you can decide what level of access the rest of the people on DList.com can have to them. The box entitled “Privacy Preference” allows you to select whether you want everyone to be able to see your private pics or whether you want to be able to choose who gets access to them. 

How do I unlock my private pictures for another member?

If you want to unlock your private pictures for someone, log into your own profile then go to their profile page and click on the link that says, "My private pics are locked for this user." You’ll see a notice that says your pictures are now unlocked for that person. The person you unlocked for will receive an e-mail saying your pictures are now unlocked and he will be able to access them.

How do I relock my private pictures?

You can relock your pictures by clicking the "My private pics are unlocked for this user" link on that particular member's profile page.  When you do that, it will relock your private pics so they won’t be able to see them any more.  It’s the same process as when you unlock them for someone except this time you’re stopping them from seeing your private pics rather than letting them.

How do I check for new mail in the Inbox?

After you log in, click the "Email" tab at the top of the page. You will be directed to the Email section of your profile page. Your new mail will show up in the mailbox in bold black text.

How long will messages be kept?

Messages will be deleted after they’ve been in your inbox for 30 days.  Also, you can only have 500 messages in your inbox at a time.

How do I reply to a message?

The reply form automatically appears beneath the message you are reading.  After you’ve read the message, scroll down and you’ll see a box where you can type your reply.

How do I delete a message?

Looking at the list of messages in your Email Inbox, check the box next to the message you want to delete. Then, click the "Move to Trash" link located in the Email navigation bar. You can also delete the e-mail by clicking on the "Move to Trash" link from within the message.

How do I save a message?

When you’re looking at your Inbox, check the box next to the message you want to save. Then click the "Save selected" link located in your navigation bar within Email.

What are "friend requests?"
 
Friend requests allow you to invite another DList user to be your friend. You can see a list of all your friends on your profile page and the box at the top right hand corner tells you how many of your friends are online at one time.  When you invite someone to be your friend, a friend request will be sent to that person. When you receive a friend request, you can either approve or deny that user as a friend. When you approve someone as your friend, you become their friend as well. As a friend, you will be allowed to post comments on your new friends profile, pictures and videos.   

What are "invites"?

Invites allow you to invite people who aren’t already members of DList to become a members. After you enter your friends' email addresses, you can track which friends have joined or not by looking at your Invite status page. You can re-send an invite to those friends that didn't sign up yet by clicking the "resend" button. Once your friend joins DList, they will automatically be added to your profile as a friend.
