Faster log on.
Normally when you log on, you give your email address. But it is also possible to use your chat name instead. So if your chat name is something like "Mary27", that's going to be faster to type than your email address. Of course, if your chat name is "Love your hair hope it wins", then typing your email address is going to be easier.

Connexion blocked at work because it's a "chat site"?
Some offices block chat sites. They do that by subscribing to a list of chat sites. If your office is one of those, trying logging onto:
  http://nochat.connexion.org
That's a version of Connexion that doesn't allow chat so it may not be blocked.

Connexion for Blackberry and Treo.
There is a special version of Connexion for small screen devices such as Blackberry and Treo. Assuming you have a Connexion account, it can be accessed at any of the following web addresses:
  http://bb.connexion.org
  http://treo.connexion.org
  http://mobile.connexion.org
The user interface is a subset of the regular Connexion interface.

It may work for other web enabled devices as well, but has not been tested.

How many people have viewed my profile today?
You can check that out here:
  http://www.connexion.org/hitcount.cfm
It also shows how many views your friends have had today. It's still being developed, so it'll change. It only shows you how many people have looked at your profile, not who. That would be a violation of people's privacy (until we have some kind of stealth viewing mode).

If you would prefer to see a graph of just the hits on your profile an a day by day basis, check out:
http://www.connexion.org/hitcount.cfm?graph=1.

Who's getting viewed the most?
You can check that out here:
  http://www.connexion.org/hitcount.cfm?allmembers=1
If you're wondering why some people get lots of hits, it's typically because they're new so their pic is on the home page or because they are online a lot so their pic is showing up on the "Who's online" page.

This page is still being developed, so it'll change.

Age demographics.

Rotate your photos
If you don't want people to have to turn their head sideways to check out your photos, rotate 'em.

In Windows:

1. Right-click on "My Computer" on your desktop and select "Explore", then find the photo.
2. Right-click on the photo.
3. 'Hover' over "Open With" then select "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer".
   If "Window Picture and Fax Viewer" isn't there, select "Choose Program" then find "Window Picture and Fax Viewer", select it and click OK.
4. Once it's open, there will be two 'trianglly' icons at the bottom of the window. These will rotate your photo.
5. Rotate appropriately, then just close the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" and your photo will be rotated!
6. Upload it to Connexion and watch how your profile views increase.

Another way:
Go to Snipshot.com. Its pretty easy...you can crop and rotate and mess with all sorts of stuff...just be sure to Save it back to your computer when you're done. Then upload it to Connexion.
