Profiles Get a Makeover

Member Directory Profiles Get a Makeover – What Can You Expect?

Name, occupation, marital status … it does the trick, but change is good! You need a better way to express yourself, connect with your buddies and show the world the real you.
We’re making some changes to the Member Directory experience that will allow you to do just that. You’ll notice some new tabs on the left-hand side of the page that allow you customise your existing profile, or create a new one altogether. What can you do with them? Here’s a quick take on some of the changes that you’ve probably already noticed.

About Me: This simple text field allows you to write a bit of blurb to introduce yourself to the community. If you love dogs, adore arsenal or prefer to sit in the pub in your spare time, this is the place to tell everyone. There’s plenty of flexibility to change your font or add hyperlinks.

My Photo: Your Buddy Icon isn’t the only way to identify yourself around here. That’s why we’ve integrated the ability for you to upload a photo of yourself to your profile. Just grab a picture right off your hard drive and you’re good to go.

Personal Details: This stuff is easy. Where do you live? When’s your birthday? Are you here looking for love or just want to chat with some online buddies? Reveal whatever you want, or just keep us guessing!

Interests: We know, we know … you’re highly opinionated. From your most loved bands to hobbies to turnoffs … this is the place to share it. We’re all ears.

Pictures: Upload away! You’ll be able to upload 24 at a time, so be patient with that 25th shot of granny. Try to avoid the racy ones, however, or we’ll have to remove them, and nobody wants that. If you’re not sure what’s appropriate check out our friendly guidelines.

Settings: How much info do you want to reveal on your profile? It’s up to you. You can also reset your profile if you made a mistake or just feel like starting all over again.


We’ll give you a heads-up soon on more exciting updates and features to come, so stay tuned. But in the meantime, get playing! Your buddies will thank you for it.

    I've been reading, trying to create my own AIM page, I found your info the best yet. I don't have anypictures & wanted to do my own thing, pretty art theme, whatever. I'm just looking for new buddies, over the last 4 yrs. I lost my best. Thought it was time to start over. I like your makeover Theresa, guess I could use one myself ! Just wanted to make new friends, online, doesn't matter male, female, who'd love to laugh & have fun, like I do. Why does that have to be so hard? I read one profile, that was a poem, something like a Manson script ! All about hate & killing, I didn't think Aim or anyone would allow anything even close to that! Good thing they're not my patient, they'd be far away from the public. I don't know what to do next, as far as finding Buddies, any ideas would be nice. Refer to me as Taylor 3888.
