The updates I have mentioned, and listed in our Terms Of Service are now fully operational. To show up on our site, you must have a Main Profile Photo, and complete at least 80% of your profile. These things will also give you 'Warning' notes at the top of your edit profile page if you have not met the requirements. As with always, if you do not have a Main Profile Photo, your profile never showed up in our 'Photo Arrays' (Newest Members, Latest Visitors, Etc.). What has changed there, is profiles without this photo will not be displayed in any searches. My thoughts are if you don't take the time to add a photo, why display your profile? It can be your furry character, or yourself. We are not requiring an actual photo of yourself, and never will.

As for the 80%, this also gives you a 'Warning' note if you have not completed at least 80% of your profile. This is the same as the photo in that until you complete 80% of your profile, you will not show up in any searches. I have the same reasoning as above, if you are not willing to take the time to give visitors a few details about yourself, there is no reason for them to view your profile.

I have also added 'color coding' to your Edit Profile page where it will show you which fields have been completed or not by the Green or Red background colors. This should make it very easy to see what you have done or not. The only variable is the 'A little about me..' and 'I am looking for..'. These will show 'green' if there is anything in that area. However, it does require at least 20 words to be counted towards your Profile Completed Percentage. IE: if you do not have at least 20 words, which should be VERY simple, that field will not count towards the 80%. Even with 20 words, you are not saying much at all. Make that effort, and we will do everything we can to get you found.

Questions??
