Gay.com - Gay Personals
Gay.com Personals is a free service that allows members to
post personal ads or profiles and run searches among more
than 1.8 million profiles. Receiving responses to your
personal ad is totally free, as is responding to members
who have replied to your profile.
www.gay.com premium personals offers many advanced features,
including replying to any member profile, bookmarking and blocking
of
profiles, getting access to all photos (public and private)
and much more. Only Premium Personals subscribers have access
to adult content.
How do I create my own personal ad or profile?
Just go to the front page and click on the
link to "Edit Basic" In the left side navigation.
Once you do so, you are on your way to creating your own personal
ad. It's that easy.
How do I save my matches?
One of the benefits of using Gay.com personals regularly is
the ability to save searches for later use. Once you find a
search
that
gives you the best results, select "Save this search." You
can even label your searches for easy reference. Once saved,
you can run the same search manually or set it to run automatically.
Gay.com AutoSearch?
Your saved searches can be run automatically. Simply
select "Save
as an AutoSearch." Your results will be sent to you via
e-mail. You can schedule and save up to 20 searches and/or
AutoSearches. We recommend creating various entries, such as "marriage
material," "friends," "tonight" and
more.
What's the "Photo Gallery" option?
The Gay.com "Photo Gallery" provides an easy way
for you to see all member photos for your matches. Just check
the "Display results as photo gallery" box after
you make your other search choices. When your search results
appear, you will see your matches and all of their profile
photos, neatly displayed at once. You'll then be able to view
their full profile, bookmark or block the profile and more.
How can I find members currently online?

photos or send a private message from this area.

What is Gay.com Chat and Messenger?
Gaycom Chat is a service that allows you to send live, real-time
messages to other members in a chat room at Gay.com. Gaycom
Chat is the world's largest LGBT online community. Chat rooms
are in place for a city near you or around the world, and there
are also popular topic rooms, from AA to Webcams.
Gaycom Chat works with your Gay.com Personals profile, so
you can send and receive messages and check out other members'
profiles
and photos all in one place.
Gaycom Messenger enables you to chat in private with other
members. You can send live, one-on-one messages to your friends
-- and potential friends -- when you're both online at Gay.com.
Just like chat, Messenger works with your Gaycom Personals
profile, so you can send and receive messages and check out
other members' photos all in one window. You can also send
private photos for more intimate connections, but only Gay
com Premium Personals members get unrestricted access to view
all
profile photos. If you're not a Premium Personals member, start
your subscription now.
How do I use Gaycom Chat and Messenger?
To use www.gay.com Chat and Messenger and let other members
know you're online, you must be logged in and the Connect
Now "Welcome" window
must be open. You can't enter a Gaycom chat room or send
or receive any messages unless this window remains open.
If
you close
it, you can reopen it by clicking the Chat or Messenger link
in the Connect Now section on the left side navigation or
by opening a new browser window and logging in to Gaycom
again.

public, adult and private. Gaycom Premium Personals members
are also able to visit more than two chat rooms at each visit.
If you are not a Premium Personals member, you will not be

Where can I find other Gay.com members who are online?
Many users online at Gay.com are in a chat room. Chat with
other members around the world in public chat rooms or directly
with another member using private messages.
Looking for someone you'd like to get to know better, but
who isn't in a chat room? When the Gaycom Connect Now control
panel window launches, click the "Who's Online" link
to find out who is on the site and accepting private messages.
Members are listed by country, state and city.
If a member
is online, you will see a "Send Private Message" icon
on his or her Personals profile. You may also see the members
in the "Who's Online" section in Personals. If
you already know who you are looking for, you may also connect
with a specific member by using the "Send Private
Message" link on the Connect Now window. To use this
link, you will need to know the other person's Gay.com member
name. Click the "Send Private Message" link, then
type the person's member name in the member name box and
click the "Send" button. A new Gaycom Messenger
window will open allowing you to send a private message directly
to that member.
How many rooms may I enter in one visit?
Basic members may enter two chat rooms concurrently. Gay.com
Premium Personals subscribers may enter up to seven rooms
concurrently.
To enter another room, simply return to the main chat window
and select a new room. You may also click the "Return
to Room List" link when you are in a chat room. This
will bring you back to the main chat window. If you want
to enter another room but have reached your room limit, you
must close one of the other rooms you are in before you can
enter a new room.
What are public and private photos?
Public photos are visible to any member viewing your www.gay.com
personals profile and when using Gaycom Chat and Messenger.
Private photos are hidden from public view. They are not
visible in your Gaycom Personals profile unless it is being
viewed through a direct link that you've sent someone.
Private photos are only visible when you send them to other
members when using private chat with Gay.com Messenger or
when you send someone a direct link to your Gaycom profile.
If you don't want another member to see your private photos,
don't forward your profile using the direct link.
How do other Gay.com members know I'm online?
When you enter a chat room, your member name will appear
at the top of the room's "Occupants" window to
the right of the main chat window. You will also appear on
the "Who's Online" list, unless your privacy setting
is "Make Me Invisible." When other members find
you in a Personals search, the "Send Private Message" icon
will appear on your profile, and they may immediately contact
you.
How can I turn off ads in Gay.com Chat?
Premium Personals subscribers have the option of disabling
some advertisements in Gaycom Chat and Personals.
