About Meendo:
-
What exactly is Meendo?
Essentially, Meendo is an adult dating service – although we try to avoid limiting our members in the ways they communicate, express themselves and use the site with arbitrary labels. If you find a particular topic interests you, let it out! Talk about sex, relationships, clothing and anything else that comes to mind when you join like-minded people in our friendly interest groups. Of course, the main focus of our site is connecting people – Meendo allows you to upload videos and photos as well as having the ability to look at what others have put online. Chat, view, rate and meet new friends!
-
Why Meendo?
Registered users have a number of advantages over unidentified guests. When you become a member of Meendo, you’ll be able to chat with other users, view photos, watch videos, add your own content to your profile and much, much more! To make Meendo more accessible and attractive, we have kept our joining process very simple and user friendly.

User’s Profile:
-
Do I have to fill in all of my profile fields?
No, but filling your profile with information will save you time in the long run so people won’t be messaging you with the same questions. It’s also worth remembering that people search based on criteria. For instance, not listing your current city will put you at a major disadvantage and it’s very unlikely that anyone will actually find or message you to ask.
-
How can I link people directly to my profile?
A direct link to your profile is available at the bottom of your profile page and will take the format of:
http://www.meendo.com/profile/YourLogin -

Currently, there is no way to do that. But you can close access to your profile to everyone in your privacy settings.

What is an avatar?
The Avatar is your main picture. It is shown to all the visitors of your profile. The presence of images is always welcome and ensures a good position in other user's searches.
-

The Avatars are used wherever you leave your mark. If you comment on something or message a person your Avatar will be shown. It will also appear next to your uploaded photos and videos. A nice avatar is sure to attract more attention to your profile.

-
I have avatar but still not shown on index page and in search results. Why?
This happens to those users who have inappropriate avatar images like dick close ups for example.
Messaging:
-
Why can't I just email people messages?
Meendo believes that the messenger we provide is easy to use and very secure. Some people would much prefer an email correspondence system, although this can lead to spam and an often undesirable release of personal information. Meendo’s messaging system also saves all of your chats externally, meaning it’s less likely to be found by people who may share your computer.
-
How do I send a message to other users?
Sending a message to someone on Meendo is very simple; navigate to their profile, find the 'Send Message' link, type what you want to say and hit 'Send'!
-
I think someone is sending messages from my account.
In situations like this, we suggest you immediately change your password to avoid possible future security breaches. Be sure that if you use Meendo on a public computer, you press 'Log Out' after every session.
-
How can I send a photograph or video in a message?
We currently don’t have a system in place that allows members to send personal images or videos due to potential side effects and issues that may occur. You may wish to link them to an image or video stored in your open photo/video albums or you can create a private album and grant that user exclusive access.
-
Is there a way to check if my message has been read?
After navigating to your 'Outbox', you’ll see images come in three colors. If your message has been read, it will appear in white.
-
Is there a way to check if my message has been deleted?
After navigating to your 'Outbox', you'll see images come in three colors. If your message has been deleted, it will appear in gray.
-
Can I stop a certain individual from sending me messages?
Meendo does allow members to limit or Blacklist individuals they do not wish to have further content with. To do this, navigate to Privacy settings and under 'Who can send me a message' chose appropriate setting or simply add user to a Blacklist.
-
Can I delete messages in bulk?
To remove messages in bulk, simply use the check box to indicate which ones you wish to have deleted.

-

Why do people appear in 'My Guests'?
Guests are registered users that visit your profile. We believe that Meendo allows an easier way to find friends if it displays people checking you out!

Meendo rates user security above anything else, so we request that you confirm your email address as quickly as possible (this will allow you to receive important messages from Meendo).
-
What is a Blacklist?
A Blacklist is an area in which someone can block someone from having contact with them. Every member has one and we encourage you to use it whenever necessary.
-

Yes. Please contact support with your request and you will receive a list of instructions in order to do this.
-

Uploads and Content:
-

Simply go to the 'Upload' section linked from the Meendo member’s navigation menu. You can also quickly upload media to specific albums by clicking the 'Upload' link inside the relevant album.
-
I don't see an 'Upload' button when I attempt to put my videos and photos on Meendo, why is this?
Our primary upload system requires members to have a recent version of Flash installed. If you are unable to use Flash, you can use our basic upload system.
-
I always receive errors while uploading files via Opera.
Simply disable the Opera Turbo mode. Find the switch in the lower left corner of the browser window with a green highlight.
-
What are tags and why do I need to use them?
Tags help to classify your pictures and videos for other members to view them. After uploading an album, image or video, simply input associated words (e.g. party, bikini, webcam, 6pack, etc.). If you correctly tag your media, you’re more likely to receive ratings and comments, thereby increasing your popularity and potentially leading to more partners.
-
Can I release an image or video without a title?
No, Meendo requires every uploaded file to have a relevant title. Avoid using titles such as '1' or 'a', chances are your uploads will never be found if you do not title and tag your content appropriately.
-
What is the bulk editing and how do I use it?
Bulk editing allows you to connect a large group of files and change their details together. If you have a set of images or videos that you wish to share the same title and tags, bulk editing allows you to do this with minimal effort, vastly increasing the speed and ease of uploading your media.
To use bulk edit, flag all of the relevant files using the checkbox and click the link titled "Bulk edit". Simply fill in all of the information that applies to the content you have selected and hit apply, done! -
I've uploaded a video but it hasn't appeared on the site yet, why is this?
Meendo needs to convert all uploaded videos for display. The process usually takes around 10 minutes and your videos will automatically be placed in their albums and on your profile when it's finished.
-
Can I change the details of my uploads after uploading?
Absolutely. Once your content has been uploaded to our servers, you can edit it at any time and it will not be deleted unless you specify for it to be.
-
How can I edit videos and photos that I have already uploaded?
Simply go to 'My Photos' or 'My Videos', click on the file and you will be directed to an edit page where you can make all of the changes you wish to.
-
How do I rearrange my photos or videos?
Go to the 'My Photos' or 'My Videos' section. In the upper right corner of each album you will find a button called 'Change Order'. Clicking this link will take you to a page where you can change the order of your files. Simply drag the thumbnail of your video or photo to the desired location and save once you’ve finished.
