New user guide

Welcome!

Thanks for signing up. To keep this site live and healthy here are a set of tips that will help you do things better.

Kickstart

•    Once you're signed in, go to 'My page' and fill in all the relevant details. Upload a good photo of yours to enable people find you faster.
•    Search for friends. Go to 'Members' page and search for them. Once you find a good old friend, then explore his friends to find more related people.
•    Groups. Explore which group your friends are associated with. Search for the year that you passed out from the school, or the place that you live in. There could be an existing group. If you don't find one, ask some active participant in your friends circle to create one, or create one yourself and invite your friends.
•    You got something interesting? Some memories to share. Some story to tell. Create a new blog post and write about it. Blogs are available in 'My page' link.
•    Start a discussion at the forum, or respond to an ongoing discussion.

Tips

•    Please search the site before posting, you'll find lots of existing similar stuff already.
•    Do not SHOUT. Do not post subject in ALL CAPITALS.
•    If you don't agree with someone's post/idea/content, attack the content or the message, not the user who posted it.
•    Search, browse and double check before you proceed! A 'Group' that you intend to form may have already been created and have members too. Hence use search to look for a similar group and in case you don’t find it, go ahead and create it.
•    If you want to upload a picture, use some photo sharing sites like FlickR and Picassa - upload it there, and refer it here using the image URL. There are two benefits, you will get different sizes of your image to use (like Thumbnail, square, small, medium, large). It saves a lot of storage space for us.
•    In case of any doubts on using specific features of the website, post it in the 'Website usage guidelines and suggestions' section of the forum.
