Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year!
- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all members and guests.
Year 2003 saw many corporates jumping into online dating/singles game.
Also, we've witnessed few foreign operations springing into Australian market by adding '.au' to the existing web sites and heavily advertising on TV as 'Australian'.
If you tried any of those 'so called free sites’ you may have noticed increased volume of spam in your Inbox - that's because your information has been frequently sold for marketing purposes. There is no 'free lunch' so be careful who you give your personal information to. Quite often those sites' providers purposely don't disclose the fact that your information will be given to someone else or hide this in legal disclaimer 'mambo-jumbo'.

- Mail
Server Intermediate Problems
- Over the last 2 weeks service experienced problems caused by intermediate malfunction of the mail server. Although this affected only very small number of users any
member affected can contact administrator by sending email to Service Interuption (info@datenet.com.au)

- Using
account for commercial purposes
- Over the last few months on two occasions members used their account for
sending commercial information to other members (kind of spam). Those
members' accounts have been quickly suspended. In the interest of protecting
club member this kind of behaviour will result in immediate ban from using
club's facilities.

- Merry Christmas
- Another year passed quickly (how quickly you can tell by number of
notifications on the Notice Board ...:-)). It's rather a symptom of lack of
problems than anything else. Membership grew substantially (doubled) and few
new features were introduced over the year (watch this space in 2002). Please accept our warmest thanks
for all your support and have a Joyful Holiday Season.

- Merry Christmas
- Finally it's here: Christmas and New Year 2001! Nobody expected the year
2000 to pass by as fast as this. Datenet and its whole team would like to take this opportunity to thank all club members
all around the world for their continued support!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year - see you all in 2001.

- Email
to Admin problem
- Our mail server experienced some problems when receiving messages sent to administrator (using 'Write
Us' page or emailing directly info@datenet.com.au)
over the last two weeks. If you have tried to send us message
this way (question, inquiry, etc) or forwarded
your photo and haven't received any reply please do
it again as we haven't received it. This has been fixed now. Apologies for inconvenience.
Please note that this doesn't affect messages
send to other members of the club.

- Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all club members!
- Well it's time to wish you all a very Happy Christmas (Happy Holidays for
some) and a great New Year !!! 1999 was a great year for DateNet with membership trippling and almost no technical problems (touch wood ...).
Many thanks for your support and Christmas emails.

Attach Photo to your Profile
- Our statistics show that profiles with a photo generate more initial interest.
The DateNet system allows you to have your photo attached to your profile. Just send an
email with your photo in JPG format to DateNet webmaster
(don't forget to state your Alias) and the 'View Photo' option will show up in your
profile.

- Thank you !
- We would like to thank all DateNet members for the continuing support during 1998
that allowed us to affirm our position as a premier, high quality Australian meeting club
for singles. Thanks to an early start (Dec 96) and a club structure (paid membership) we
have managed to attract a high calibre of serious people. We have also tried to
maintain a high level of service (less than 24 hrs response time to queries) and use
of the latest Internet technology (fast pages and databases). None of this would be
possible without your support. We received many e-mails that reinforced our commitment to
driving the Australian exclusive Internet club to new heights.
-
- We wish you a beautiful Christmas and a really prosperous New Year
!!!

- Instant Win!!!
- To get the most out of your membership you need to be proactive, as with everything else
in life. This is a common message from successful members. To stimulate your 'active
demons' we are introducing 'Instant Win' (for a limited time, as we want
to be in business next year ...). Every time you send a message to another member you draw
a number between 1 and 50. If this number matches the lucky number shown on the
main page your last membership will be doubled. So if you joined or
renewed by choosing a one month membership you will get an additional month free. If you
chose 3 months you get another 3 months FREE! And how does a 1 year membership sound !!!
More importantly, your chances to meet the right person will skyrocket.
[Promotion ends on 30 November 1998. Only one win per member allowed]

- Hide/Show your record
- Once you have become a member your profile can be seen by others unless you hide it. We
suggest you hide your profile if your membership expired and you don't want to receive
messages from other members. Select HIDE/SHOW PROFILE from the main page or click here.

- Email History Check
- As an ongoing effort to enhance our Members' facilities we have introduced the 'Email
History' section. It can be accessed from the 'Members Only' area by pressing 'Check your
Email History' button. As emails can be lost on the Internet (although that is very rare)
you can verify it by looking at all messages sent to you and asking another member to
resend it.
- When sending a message to another member you can check 'CC Yourself' box and a copy of
the message will be sent to you. One practical idea is to create a 'DATENET Contacts'
folder in your email reader and file all the messages received from other members and
copies of messages sent so you can refer to them in the future.

- Hide profile
- Members can now hide their profiles. You have full access to member's
facilities but your profile is not visible to others. That can be useful in various
situations: going on a holiday or business trip and being able to respond to received
messages, etc. To have your profile hidden send a request to the webmaster.

- Chat
- As a part of our program to offer more facilities to our members in 1997 DATENET
now has a Chat area. It's a limited time trial with one room open to everybody. Our Chat
supports standard IRC clients as well as more advanced Comic Chat (where you can select a
comic character and express your feelings in a graphical way). Read more details about how
to a access this facility in our Chat Info page. If you are new
to chatting on the Internet use one of the search engines to find more information. Also
make sure to read the documentation included in your chat client program and if you have
any questions email them to the software vendor.
Enjoy !

- Advice
- Occasionally we have members who say "I've submitted my profile but I haven't
received any email". Well .. If all of us did just that nobody would receive any
messages! The feedback we are getting from members that are successful is: YOU HAVE TO BE
PROACTIVE AND NEVER GIVE UP. So send lots of emails and don't feel put down if you don't
receive a reply the next day :-)

- It takes only a few seconds to generate your password when you join DATENET. New members
should receive a UserID and Password within few minutes. However, those details are
emailed to the address given during registration. If this information is not correct
(e.g..: one letter dropped) it will never reach you.
- Also a few candidates totally forget to put their e-mail address (leaving default). Unfortunately, they had to be removed from the
database and will have to enrol again. If you haven't received your password within a few
minutes of registering please send an e-mail to DATENET webmaster.

- Hooray! After over two months of extensive preparation and software development Internet
Dating Network is on-line! Our developers will finally get some sleep. The developers and
webmaster used the latest Microsoft technology to build this site. As it is 'bleeding edge
technology' it's not always bug free (softly speaking). We hope you'll enjoy using this
site. As this is the first phase we welcome any suggestions
or remarks you may have.
-
- Take advantage of this months special offer (one month membership free). There are many
exciting new things that we have planned for club members over the next few months. So
check out this Notice Board frequently and check the Do you want to receive updates
from DATENET by mail option during enrolment.
