Tell Us What You Think
PerfSpot consistently strives to provide the best possible experience to our members. Our growth and innovations are the byproduct of our desire to provide the features our members require, in order to have as close to a perfect environment as possible, for everyone. Obviously, this is not a simple task, and feedback from our members is often our best tool in suggesting what's next.

So, to make it easier for everyone, we've added a new "Suggestions" link in the footer (bottom) of our site. If you have any feedback (positive or negative!), and/or ideas that you believe would make PerfSpot a better community, please don't be shy. Click on Suggestions, we would love to hear from you!



Birthdays
Want to see which of your PerfSpot Friends have an upcoming birthday in the next week? This new section displays the date and ages of all of your Friends that have a birthday within the next seven days. If you don't want your Friends knowing your age visit the Privacy Options section of your site and set "Display Age" to "Hide", we'll still let your Friends know it is your birthday but won't let them know your age.

You will find an overview of upcoming birthdays in your PerfLife section just below the music player with a "View All" link that provides additional details.



User Search
The user search is the most popular section of PerfSpot! Our members tell us they love it because, using the new search criteria tools, they can quickly locate PerfSpot members they want to make friends with. This new user search has larger profile pictures, simplified search-by-name functionality, and new browsing options that make locating an individual or an entire group of PerfSpot members just a click away.

Launched Picture War
Since PerfSpot was launched almost a year ago, millions of pictures have been submitted by our members. We quickly realized we needed a fun and creative way to share some of these great images to all members! One of the most entertaining ways to view popular content is in the new Picture War section. Pictures from matching categories and similar popularity are matched head to head, you choose your favorite of the two, and then see the collective results of the thousands of members participating.

To submit your own pictures just click the "Upload" tab in the upper right corner of your page and be sure to select the "Submit to Perf Pictures" option to include your pictures in the Picture War.

To view the Picture War section, click the Pictures tab just below the PerfSpot logo then select "Picture War" from the sub navigation bar.



Created Profile Visit History
Each profile you visit is conveniently stored in your Profile Visit History. This section is a great way to navigate back to a profile you can't remember or haven't made friends with yet.

You will find your Profile Visit History in your PerfLife/private profile beneath the quick links under your profile picture.



Launched Public Picture Section
The power of PerfSpot lies in the collective energy of our rapidly expanding member base. When you upload pictures to your account, you now have the option to "Submit to Perf Pictures".
