What is a contact notification?
When a member sends a flirt or a message, you will receive an email notification to your private external email address (the email address that you registered with). The notification informs you that a member has contacted you via adultsOnly. The notification prompts you to log on to your adultsOnly account and check the flirt/message.

The member can then click on the link to view your profile and can then reply to you.
After you've read the flirt in your flirt Inbox, click on the profile link to view their profile.
If you want to contact this member, you can either reply to the flirt, send a message or an instant message (if they are online).

It's located under your original inbound flirt message. This way you can control whether you have replied to flirts or not and what replies you actually sent.
A member's reply to your outbound flirt is stored with your 'Sent' flirt in your flirts inbox.
A member's reply to your outbound flirt is stored with your 'Sent' flirt in your flirts inbox.

Templates save you time and effort as you don't have to write the same or similar message to different members each time. Just select your custom created template and send the message. To create a template, proceed to 'Inbox/Templates' and click on 'Create'. Fill out the subject and main body text. Once you are satisfied with your text, click 'Update' and your template is saved. The templates interface also allows you to delete and edit your templates at any time. To use a template, open the message in your inbox that you want to reply to and select 'Reply to Message'.

How do I access a private gallery photo?
You must be a full member and have been granted access by the member of private gallery you wish to see.
If you see a profile you like with a 'Private Gallery' Symbol - click on that image.
A pop-up window will open and prompt you to click the link that will make a request to that member of your wish to see their private gallery.
If that member is online at the same time they will receive an alert in the instant messenge window informing them of your request to view their private gallery. They can then either approve or reject your request for access to their private gallery.
If they are not online, you will have to wait until the member approves or rejects your request for access to their private gallery.
Once your access has been approved, you will receive an instant message informing you. Proceed to that members profile and you should now be able to view those photos that were previously marked as private.
How do I allow a member access to my private gallery photos?
When someone requests access your private gallery you will receive an instant message.
When you receive this notification, proceed to 'Private Gallery' in the left hand side menu.
You will see a table with member names that you have either rejected, approved or who are pending access to your private gallery.
If you wish to allow someone access to your private gallery, simply click the text link 'Approve' next to their profile name.

I received an email notification that I had been granted access; Reason- the member has since deleted or rejected your access.

I have been granted access but the photos are restricted; Proceed to 'My Account' and upgrade your membership.

There are three pages of multiple-choice questions. These questions allow you to select your age, marital status, appearance, background, your interests and the type of relationship you are seeking.
These multiple-choice questions determine how your profile is searched online.
On the fourth page you will find two description boxes 'General' and 'Looking For' where you can write about yourself and who you would like to meet.
AdultsOnly is currently only accepting registrations from Australian residents.
What photos types and sizes are allowed?
Either JPEG or GIF format, maximum image size 3MB.
The minimum size for all photos is 130px height/width.
How do I upload a photo to my profile?
To add a photo to your profile, log in, and click on 'My Photos' which is located underneath your profile picture. Follow the prompts.
It may take a few seconds for your photo to upload, and you will receive a message saying that it has been successfully completed.
Your photos and videos must be approved for appropriate content, please ensure your media is within the editorial guidelines.
If you have issues uploading photographs you may also send them to our editorial team at e-mail: admin@adultsonly.com.au and they will add your images to your profile.
The 'Main Photo' is the one image that appears alongside your brief profile as the result of a 'Search'. It is important as this photo determines whether the visitor clicks through onto your profile (and ultimately contacts you) or moves on.
Studies have shown your chances of being contacted increase by up to five times if your profile contains pictures. If you choose not to select or display a 'Main Photo', your profile will display the neutral graphic 'no picture available'. This will reduce your contact chances.
Your 'Main Photo' should be a clear image of yourself or of both of you if registered as type 'Couple'.
This photo is about you and only you.
The following guidelines apply to 'Main Photos':
1. It's a photo only of you. Single persons may not submit images of themselves with other persons unless they are a 'couple'.
2. Photos of celebrities or models are not permitted unless this is you.
3. Strong sexual suggestion or explicit nudity and definitely genitalia is not permitted for the 'Main Photo'.
4. Landscape and scenery is not permitted
5. Photos of a cartoon, illustration, animal, scenery, object or person other than yourself are not permitted.
6. No photos of you aged under 18 years, we cannot approve photos of minors (no babies or children).
7. No promotion of a third party entity, company, website, service or watermark.
8. No infringement or violation of intellectual property rights is permitted
The 'Gallery Photos' are the multiple photos that appear on your expanded profile. They are about you and your lifestyle, your friends, your environment, your holiday, your pets, your car etc. Gallery photos do not underlie the stricter requirements of 'Main Photos'. Almost any photos about you are permitted with the exception of:
1. Photos of you aged under 18 years, we also cannot approve photos that contain minors (no babies or children).
2. Promotion of a third party entity, company, website, service or watermark.
3. Infringement or violation of intellectual property rights.
If you choose not to select or display any 'Gallery Photos', your profile will display the neutral graphic 'no picture available'. This will reduce your contact chances.
You may further classify 'Gallery Photos' as 'Private' (by invitation only). Furthermore, the adultsOnly editorial team may classify photos as 'Restricted' in order to protect minors from viewing adult images. To view 'Restricted' images you must verify your age.
Why is my photo not showing on the search results?
You haven't set one of them as a 'main' image. Proceed to 'My Photos', find a suitable image that is approved and click on 'Make Main'.
General: Begin by describing who you are, your personality and how you spend your time. You may want to write about your interests or hobbies, your work, family or friends, your travels and where you grew up. You need to fill in at least 1 line, and you can write as much as 20 lines. Please do not add repeated words, unusual characters or all capitals as profiles will not be approved if you do not include enough information. Remember - the better the profile, the more chance you have of being contacted.
Seeking: To avoid disappointment and unwanted contacts, it is essential to be specific in what you are seeking from a relationship. What is important and acceptable to you? What about their values or morals? What type of personality and appearance do you prefer? What interests, hobbies, or travels do you what to share? Where would you prefer they live?
Once you completed your profile, it will be manually approved.
Many members search by photos only, so why not add a photo of you by clicking the 'My Photos' link,
and follow the prompts. Please select a recent photo.
What information is inappropriate?
Profile copy will not be approved if it contains:
1. Inappropriate language
2. Personal contact information, such as telephone numbers, email address, ICQ or contact address
3. Sexually explicit language or strong sexual references
4. Defamatory, abusive, aggressive or violent copy
5. Offensive or obscene language (including swear words)
6. Racially offensive or blasphemous terminology
7. Promotion of a third party entity or service
8. Illegible content, nonsense or insufficient content
When will my profile be approved?
All profiles and photos are manually approved (moderated). You can modify or update your profile as often as you wish, however, each time, it will be pending moderator approval and may be locked for some time especially on weekends. If you remove a photograph or change any of the multiple choice questions, your profile will not be locked as it does not need to go through profile approval.
All profiles are manually approved for appropriate content, generally within several hours. It may take longer on weekends. Once your profile has been approved, you will receive a confirmation email indicating that your profile is active.
You will receive an email outlining why your profile was declined. If you are still unsure, please request clarification from the editorial team at admin@adultsonly.com.au
Why are some profiles not available?
Members may suspend or cancel their profile; they may also have their membership terminated by Admin. If you send a message or flirt to a suspended profile, you will receive the message that this member is not currently receiving messages.
Cancelled profiles can no longer be found when conducting a search. Sometimes a member will send many messages and later cancel their profile. Later if you open one of these messages in your inbox and that member has since cancelled, you will see a blank field in the 'From' section. This indicates the profile no longer exists.
How can I search for a member?
There are three ways to search for members:
Basic search: This allows you search by gender, age and state and provides the widest possible search results.
Advanced Search: Narrows down your search results, to include the type of relationship you are seeking, race, religion, height, body type, marital status and whether they have a photo.
Username search: Lets you search for a particular username.
Why can't I find a member that was there yesterday?
This Member may have since cancelled their profile.
You may be entering the incorrect username. Check for misspelling and empty spaces.
