Hi , i just want to add a "tip" for changing members profiles. may or may not help. I have a couple of dolphin sites running, and both are "family-oriented" and i see that dolphin installs fake members to look like others are signing up on your site to encourage others to do the same. Well, some of the profiles have almost naked pics, and all have almost same names, and say something like ugg boots etc. I found a cool way to fix. I log into my site, www.xxxx/administration, and it shows how many members etc.. i click on that, then at the bottom of page, it shows each member. You have to do this while being an admin and logged into admin, not home site.
so i click on one of the members that dolphin installed. and i go into their profile. i can change their name, and all their stats, single, city etc. I leave the email address the same, and i changed each other those members profiles, password. then save. and then log myself out, and then log back into the www.mysite.com/administration, and do the same with next member down the list. i wiped out the ugg boots etc. and put what ever. The key to this is: when giving each one a new password, i give them all the same password. that way, when iam on the front-end of site.. www.mysite.com i can log in as a diff. member dolpin installed, and don't have to remember what i changed, and who's password. all passwords are the same. then i can go into the person's profile after logging out as admin, and log in as the member. first, editing pics. i go into their pics, not site pics and delete all the bad ones. then i go into avatar. Now, even though i deleted pics, there still may be a bad avatar pic, so i delete avatar pic. Now, basically its cleaned up. But now, here comes the bonus. i can add my own ads onto their profile. like google affiliate network, commission junction, link sys, etc. my affiliate banners. so on ads click on post ad, then the categories, i havent added more but i used, under custom values price tabs : for sale, and miscellaneous. And on custom value price, i entered 0 and the yr. 2012, for current as of this posting. its just a copy and paste deal, but its worth it. and on description, i click on html, and load my code, load my own description beneath, can copy n paste that of your advertiser details, and then i use snippet. for adding an associated image even though it shows up in html, now, a pic, not just text, will show up on the ads..guess what, these arent those fake members' ads, they are yours.. snippet tool, i can snip whatever image i need, even when sites, try not to let you, right-click and copy a pic and save. its cool. i made a file for all my ads, and save them there on my desktop. any questions. ask me. so i made a real looking member profile, can add videos, etc, ads, pics, what ever. check out my site; www.thebossmarketinggoup.com see ads at the bottom right. those are mine and look like members. pretty cool.charla
