Welcome Our New Members!

We probably have MANY new members since you last logged into http://members.carrotloves.com

Please come visit and say hello on the discussion board and your profile.

Most of our members have yet to set up their profiles. When you log in please go to "Your Profile" (top menu). Then click on the "Update Your Profile Link." This will take you to options for privacy, and uploading your picture and brief info. When you add a picture, members will be able to see that you are with us and be able to private message you.

On "YOUR PROFILE" you will see a list of links to all of the applications you have access to... With all of the possibilities with this system, you might be a bit overwhelmed. So if you have questions, there is a "Video Tutorial" link or tab at the top of each application.

Privacy Concerns:

It is great to see many member's real names. However, it is possible that you may not have wanted your whole real name to show.

When joining carrotloves, you were asked to give your real name and a nickname. There was a box to check that says "don't allow other members to see my real name," or "only allow administrators to see name."

Even if you checked this box, members may be able to see your name, so it is currently possible that your name may show when thought it wouldn't.

This is easy to fix.

Log into http://members.carrotloves.com Go to "YOUR PROFILE" and click on the Update Profile link... you will again have the option to click a box that says "do not let members see my real name." You Must Check This Box if you don't want others to see your real name. After you do this extra step, members will not be able to see your real name.

There is also a box that you click if you do not want members to see your email. AGAIN, if you do not want members to see your email, YOU MUST CLICK THAT BOX.

There is also an option box to check, if you don't want non-members to see your profile info.

There is a video tutorial link for more info in each application.

New eBooks:

We have several free eBooks available for free in the file sharing application for you to download if you wish. Check them out!

The carrotloves Store:

New vegan - green living sponsor ads have been added to the carrotloves store, and a couple of new bargain eBooks have been added as well.

Again It is Great To Meet You All,

Let's enjoy this carrotloves membership site and invite our veg*n friends to join in.
