Hey, this is my first post and i would like to say overall im very happy with my site and the amount of leeway you guys give us far design goes, because many other affiliate programs dont do so. Anyways, my question /suggestion is about the free signup page. By my searching the network some i can tell the majority of the members are from the u.k., which is fine because diy-dating is based there. Im from the u.s. and more than likely most of my traffic will originate from the u.s.. My question is can some wording be changed on the free signup page, mainly the ethnic origin because it may be kind of confusing to some people stateside. What im trying to say is many people in the u.s.a. only understand the political correct terms they grew up with, and i think, that while its not really that big of a deal per se, being more specific can only be an improvement, considering the fact that when i went to sign up for my own page i wasnt sure where to classify myself! rolleyes.gif Race is not really that important in most places but people make a big deal out of it here, i know that its impossible to satisfy everyone or represent everybody, but I think a few more terms like Afro-American (black), Pacific islander, South American, Canadian, African, etc. I say this to because afro-americans, dont see themselves as carribean in any way, and many couple search only for black males. I know this was a long first post so please forgive me! Look forward to your feedback on this.

Hi Tony,
Its quite easy to add more options.

Can you give me an 'exact list' of what you want adding.

Sure thing Gary, im sorry it took so long for me to reply, i think i should set my settings so that i can recieve notification by email if that is possible? I was thinking you hadnt got around to me yet sad.gif , anyways I think hese will fit nicely:

ethnic origin-
Latino / Hispanic
African American (Black)
Mediterranean
American Indian

on Looks-
Something along these lines above the area where they put their details in small text:

"Be truthful, even if it you dont feel comfortable. We're going to work hard to help you find the right person, couple, or group, for YOU. Don't kid yourself, all kinds of people using this service find the love of their lives, the best sex partner theyve ever had, or experience some of the wildest times, but rarely when they're not honest. Keep it Real!"

On the section (im looking for):
I think im looking for should be Im into; i.e. Im into 1 on 1 sex
or group sex istead of im looking for 1 on 1 sex because it sounds too similar to the previous question. Also for this part of the form you cant select all that apply is it possible to change that?

If you can fix some of those things for me i would greatly appreciate it smile.gif, look for ward to hearing a reply thanks.

We have added the extra ethnic origins as posted.

The other changes suggested will affect all sites and some sites may not like this.

I will see if we can incorporate a site customizable profile page.
