FAQ

Q. HELP! I can't sign in!
A. If you have any trouble getting into the system what-so-ever, please let us know immediately. Contact support at Support@stiffrichards.net and we will be on the matter ASAP!

Q. Is this service really for free?
A. Our site has "Free", "Little Richard" (trial) and "Big Richard" memberships with no obligation to upgrade. There are features that require you to have a membership status other than "Free".

Q. How do I delete my profile?
A. Click on the My Profile tab. Then select Edit Profile. Scroll to the very bottom and select Unregister Profile. Please keep in mind that this cannot be undone and that all information will be deleted from our system.

Q. How do I add more photos?
A. Expand the My Profile box located on the right side of the screen, select the "My Photo" link. You can also click on the photo icon in the "Add New" box also located on the right. Selecting either will take you to your photos page. Here, click on any one of the empty photo icons on the right of the page. This will let the uploader know that you are ready to upload a photo into that position. If you are having any trouble at all with pics, feel free to email your pics to support at Support@stiffrichards.net and we will upload for you!

Now click the "Choose file" tab located on the loader. This will direct you to your PC where you can select from your photo library. Once a photo is selected it will upload to the site. The more you upload the better your chances of finding that perfect man.

And by the way, any one of your pics can be selected as the main "thumbnail" pic. Just select the pic you want as the main pic, and click on the "make thumbnail" tab above the picture.

Q. How do I upload or embed video?
A. In the My Profile box located on the right side of the screen, select the "My Video" link. You will be taken to your Video page. Here you can decide if you want to "Embed" or "Upload" video. If you choose to "Upload", fill in the title of the video, a description, select whether or not you want the public to have access or your buds only, then hit the "Choose file" link. This will direct you to your PC database where you can select your own personal video for upload. Once you've selected the file it should come into the site, then hit the "Upload" tab.

To embed a video from say, youtube, go to the desired video on the site that allows you to select embedded code, and copy the code. Come back to STiFFRichards.NET and select the "Embed Code" tab. Enter a title for the video, a description, select whether or not you want the public to have access or your buds only, the paste the copied "embedded" code into the "video player code" area. Then Click Embed.

Q. Can anyone copy my video from this site and play it on another site?
A. NO! What happens on STiFFRichards.NET stays on STiFFRIchards.NET....do not worry about anyone taking your video and embedding it on any other site.

Q. How can I just see guys in my area?
A. There are sevral ways to do this. We recommend creating "saved searches." To create a saved search simply go to the search tab and enter your search criteria, then hit search. (You can select the location here among the broad range of selection criteria.) Once you perform the search, you have the option to save and name that search.

Once it's saved, you will see your "Saved Searches" from your home page and from the Search section. For example, you can have a search for Tops, Muscle Tops, Bear Bottoms, Stiff n Ready...etc. Once your search is saved, just click on that search and bam...you got what you want when you want.

Another way to search in your area is to hit the "Neighbors" link. This can be found on your home page as well or under the "Members" section. Once on the neighbors page you can select to see your neighbors by Country, State, City or Zip.

Q. Is there any way to hide my profile temporarily?
A. Yes, on the home page, there is a "Status" section. Within that section there is a link to "Hide Profile". This will hide your profile from view of other members. You will still have all the access to the site though that your membership allows. To reactivate your profile, simply go to the same "Status" section of your home page and click on "Un-Hide Profile".

Q. Can I make my pics private?
A. Yes, you can do this on your my photos page. When you upload a pic or select an existing photo, there is an option at the bottom of the upload photo area that says "Additional Info". Here you can select for your photo to be public for your buds only or password protected. Public of course is for all to view. My Buds only will allow only those on your buds list to view the photos. Password protected is where you create a password to view the photo. You can then give out the password to whoever you want to see your private pics.

Q. How do I send an Instant message/initiate Private chat?
A. When a user is online you will notice an activity link under their profile pic that says "Online Now (IM)" ... Click on this link to initiate the private chat window.

Q. What if I'm in a Chat Room and get an email...but don't want to leave the chat page?
A. Here is a trick...from anywhere in the system, if you want to keep one page open and go to another, simply right click on the tab or area you want and select, "open in another window" ... that way you can stay in the chat room but open another window to read your email.

Q. I cannot view some of the videos!
A. Here is some info that may help:

***I can not see any videos - All I get is a black screen. Try This- This site uses the free Adobe flash player. To ensure that you have this player installed click HERE to go to the Adobe website and check your version of the player.

***The flash player is installed on my computer and I still see nothing OR I see a FROZEN Video Image...CANT PLAY! Try This- Sometimes when we upgrade this site we may make changes to the flash player. - Your computer may still be trying to load the older version. To fix this click HERE to go to the official Adobe website. - Look in the box that opens on that page and look in the Visited Websites box. - Select any settings that you see for www.stiffrichards.net and click Delete Website. (we recommend deleting all sites you see.) - Close any open browser windows and re-open our website. You should now see the new player and view videos.

****Done that and still nothing ! Try This - After trying the above, It is still possible that your browser is still loading the old player that is stored on your own computer. In your browser window, Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Delete Temporary Internet Files. Close any open browser windows and re-open our website. You should now see the new player and view videos.

****If Video was embedded.... If the video was embedded from another site, that site may be down or no longer in service. If you cannot get the video to work after trying all of the above, please use the "Report" link to let us know in support.

Q. How can I stop getting emails from the site?
A. You can prevent getting emails from the site by changing your "Preferences" settings. Go to the "Home" tab then find the "Preferences" sub link. There you can uncheck the options in the "Mail" section. You will, however, continue to get "Buds" requests from the system. We do not have an option to block those at this time, coming soon.
