#1 I’ve been noticing that some new users are having trouble receiving their activation email. I’m going to use an educated guess and say it’s because of extremely indiscriminate spam filters. I can’t really blame those filters, one of my gMail account catches nearly 6,000 spam emails a day for me. (It was just last month when I was getting 4,000 spam emails/day. Who did I piss off?) Our activation emails go out pretty much the second you hit register. Depending on the quality of your email provider, it should take anywhere from 2 seconds to 2 minutes. Any longer than that, and it’s a safe bet that our email was caught in your spam or bulk folder. Instead of signing up for a new account with a new email address, we have a handy ”Resend Activation Email” link that’s prominently displayed on the upper right side of the registration page. 


#2 This isn’t a new feature, it was around when we launched our blogs, but you can quickly email your friends and acquaintances of an interesting blog post via our email post link on the lower left hand corner of each post. We also have a handy print version of all our blog postings for those of you who like to print out stuff. All our applications have these links, not just blogs.  


#3 Last but not least, there’s a lot of new users without avatars. I think the world would be much happier if everyone had an avatar. We have a pretty spiffy upload-your-own-avatar-and-crop system. As the name implies, you can upload any non-copyrighted, non-nudity photo via the “Photo” tab in your member profile area. Then crop it by clicking on the “Set Avatar” link. (Other reasonable photo restrictions may apply.)
