After creating an account using the standard Joomla registration, click on Edit my Profile, complete the required fields, click on Update profile and get closer to finding a friend or soul mate. All the profile fields can be configured and arranged in the administrator backend along with adding custom fields or deleting others.
To view your profile with the information and avatar picture you have entered click on View my profile.
All the information about your profile can be found here, your Rating average and User comments. If someone posts a comment that offends you, you can click on Report comment and an admin will look into it. You can also delete any comment and post comments on your profile.
Interactions are ways to socialize and interact with other people.
When looking at other people's profile you get some extra interactions, like Sending a kiss, message, asking for friendship or even add the user to your blacklist/ignore list.
If you click on Ask for friendship a message window will appear where you can write something for your possible future friend.
You can find your friends in the Friends page found in the Love Factory menu, regular users have a limited number of friends depending on the administrator settings, to increase your friends list capacity a Membership Plan can be purchased. The friends list allows you to quickly locate your favorite users and send them messages.
