How do I place an ad?
You have to have a username and password to be able to place an ad. Don't get fluttered if you don't have it yet! It's easy! (See next question). Choose a category, and from the sidebar select 'Place Ad'. If you already have a username, go thru the login window. If you don't have a username yet, click on the 'Register for a Username'. After successful registration the script proceeds automatically to the ad posting form. The next few steps to finish a posting are self-explaining, supposing that someone can read in English.
In case, after successful registration, you decide not to post an ad at that time, you can come back anytime in the future to place an ad in any category, using your username. Your inactive username is valid for 2 years, before the script automatically purges it.

How do I register for a username?
Find a category, click on 'Place Ad', select 'New User Signup' next to the login window. From there it's self-explaining. You have to have a valid e-mail address, where you will receive replies to your ads.

How can I attach a picture to my ad?
1. After successful posting, the next page gives you a choice to upload your picture.
2. To add a picture to your ad later on, select the category where your ad is, click on the sidebar 'Modify Ad' hyperlink, login, bring up your ads, select the right one, choose 'Add Multimedia File'.
Observe the upload restrictions, like picture dimensions, file sizes and file types. It sounds cumbersome, but it's actually very easy and the steps are very logical. Obviously, you have to find your right ad to modify.

How can I delete a picture from my ad?
Select the category where you have your ad posted, click on 'Modify Ad', login, bring up your ads, select the appropriate one, click on 'Picture Manager', choose the appropriate action: 'Delete Picture'.

How can I delete my ad?
Select the category where you have your ad posted, click on 'Delete Ad', login, bring up your ads, check the appropriate one, and click on 'Delete Selected Ad'.

Do I have to register in order to be able to reply an ad?
No, you don't. Just click on the 'Reply Ad' button and send your message. Don't forget to write your correct e-mail address, otherwise you can wait hopelessly for the answer - in case the advertiser deigns to answer.

I forgot my username and/or password! Can you send it to me?
I could, but I won't. But, you can go to the 'Place or Modify or Renew or Delete Ad or Update Profile or Auto-Notify' link, -wherever you see the login window, and do the rest from there. Give the script either your e-mail or username, and check back on your new e-mail in a second.

Does my reply go to a temporary mail box before the advertiser picks it up?
No. It goes directly by sendmail to the advertiser's own e-mail account what was given by him at the registration for a username.

How much does your service cost?
For you or for us? For you it's free, as we advertise: i-Personals.us - the best, free internet personals. So enjoy it! And most importantly appreciate it, coz it's damn hard to find a good, popular, free personals on the net nowadays.

How do you make money?
Are you curious about my form-1099, or how we make money out of this website? If the second one you meant, then the answer is that we just shovel money into it, as server and registration fees and advertising expenses. i-Personals.us is under the auspices of Smart Solutions Inc. The only compensation we receive is the pride of being able to provide this free service to internet users. So, we warn you not to abuse this personals website with annoying, not real personals postings, because then you abuse our pride as well.

Hence talking about abuse... What do you consider website abuse here?
Smut sites, matrimonial agencies, love connection agencies, etc., posting pictures of their white-tailed bunnies for profit making, deceiving our users. Do you know how the dictionary specifies the word "personals website"?

But my finger is still itching to place an "un-personals" ad on i-Personals.us! What can I do?
We have a rescue category specifically for these pushers. Check on the 'General Ads' category, where many commercial ads are accepted. These ads just have to comply with the Conditions of Use.
