New Improvements In Meebo On GirlsAskGuys!

girlsaskguys — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:16:35 +0000

So you’re browsing the site, and you just gave the perfect answer to a question. You cruise over to the Best Christmas Gift For A Boyfriend Or Girlfriend 2011 contest to share your idea, and BAM……an annoying stranger pops up on your Meebo to chat!

*Groan*

No longer is this the case! After hearing feedback from many of our members, you are now only permitted to instant Meebo message a member if you are friends. Previously, you were able to send a Meebo IM to anyone, as long as they were online (and their profile was not private). However, to cut down on spammers, annoyances, and inconvenient pop-up IM’s, you will now only receive IM Meebo messages from your GirlsAskGuys “friends.”

To find a member on GirlsAskGuys, simply type their user name into the Search box at the top of the page. Your results will include questions and answers with this word in it, so you can check the results page for this user name.

To add a member as a friend, click on their user name. This will take you to their profile page, and on the left, you’ll see a green “plus” sign. Click on this to add this member as a friend!

This will reduce the spam and improve your GirlsaskGuys experience!!

Question Updates Now Limited

girlsaskguys — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:25:05 +0000

GirlsAskGuys members are speaking, and we’re listening!

Many members expressed a desire for a limitation on question updates – continuous question updates were creating an annoyance, and members were checking trivial updates. To rectify this, members are now permitted to update their question twice in 7 days. This will encourage question askers to only add important and relevant updates, and will prevent numerous unnecessary updates.

If you have ideas, suggestions, or input, don’t hesitate to Contact Us – we love to hear your suggestions!
