Hey all,

Unlike most sites, we're not afraid to admit to a couple of technical issues. IMHO, honesty IS the best policy...and covering things up is just bullshit, plain and simple.

That's why I like to keep an open dialog with you regarding any and all current site issues.

As you know, we're still in the BETA phase, so a certain number of issues are always to be expected. Nonetheless, I don't think it's right (or fair) to keep them from you. So here we go...

BadVelvet™ Current Issues:

• Profile Pictures - As you may know, the profile pic upload function was on the fritz recently, and some of our new members have had trouble uploading their profile pictures.

Status: Good news...it's fixed! That's right, the profile pic upload function is now working as it should. So if you don't have a profile picture, be sure that you upload one!

NOTE: We'll eventually be freezing any member profiles that don't have a profile picture, so be sure to upload one as soon as you can. Any pic will do - it doesn't have to be an actual photo of you. Just put something up that people can look at. ;)

How-to: To upload a profile picture, just click on the "My Page" link in the main navigation bar. From there, look to the right-hand side of the page where it lists (in the dark pink box) your different profile options, and just follow logically from there.

Click the "Change Picture" link, and upload your profile pic. It's as easy as that!

NOTE: If you have any problems uploading a profile picture, be sure to let us know via the "Contact" form. Please specify exactly what problem/problems you had, as well as which web browser you're using (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.).

• Video Uploads - The video upload function is still being worked on and improved. Because of this, you may occasionally experience errors when attempting to upload videos to BadVelvet.com. A video encoding error is one of them.

Status: Currently being worked on. UPDATE: Video uploads are working fairly well now. Some issues still persist, but we'll get them fixed soon enough.

For now, and until it's in 100% working order, I suggest adding your videos to the XXX Adult Forums section...instead of trying to upload them directly.

And really, that's a MUCH better deal for you anyway, since you can actually make $$$ with your videos (and pics) in the forums area! If you simply upload them, then there's no way to make money from them.

But if you post them in the forums section, you can certainly make money from them!

Anyway, that's all for now. Be sure to have a safe and awesome week!
