Hi Darren, take a look at my website. I manage to tweak the site to my personal preference. There are a few critical pages missing when ftping the site, even thought they are all there on my localhost. I don’t know how they disappear because I changed everything in the config files and glbl table. I have all the osdate files I can upload to you. I don’t know what makes certain pages disappear in the main page panel (side menu still shows), but you will see when you register and login as a user, and click “Compatibility Questionnaire”. Same thing with many admin links such as “Global Settings” and I have a hard time tweaking in a flash logo for my site. I’ve done whatever is necessary. Darren, I am willing to “PAY” you money to finish it off to my liking for your final tweaking touch up. I will upload you all the files, and we will negotiate a price even if it is $100-$500 or more. (Will provide you my credit number)That will fit my budget. I need to make togetherweclick.ca look original and appeal to a niche. I am getting into serious business. If I am really happy, I will be happy to advertise osdate and tufat and include you in my compliments. I’ve been investing money on godaddy to keep the site running, and nothing much as changed. I’ve been going in circles for over a year to fill in the bugs that keep appearing, rendering it incomplete and obsolete. I also cant find a way to make payed memberships permanent. If you could customize it so that I could from my admin have the option of having members sign up free for permanent, and upgrade to chargeable when they automatically renew, just like hotmail, that would be great! And also let me know how I can link a merchant account to the pay modules. I am totally lost with this.

Thank you.

osDate looks like a good dating software especially when it’s free. It may work for users who start dating business as a side job or part time, but when it comes to real business or enterprise level, is it still good enough? and how about support level for a free software? There are many competitive dating software like skadate, datingpro, or http://www.datingsitebuilder.com who provides dating profiles.

Nevertheless, this is a great forum that provides tons of useful information. Thank you.

Its always being updated.
Last update was less than a month ago.

But i do agree it needs to be trimmed down a bit. Main package should be a lot smaller and have the plugins separate, like joomla does it.

The forums are GREAT, Just take a look before you listen to others and decide yourself.

Wow! It’s so nice to see somebody doing something for free. Selling the skins as an addon was a great idea. I would like to know if you’re still updating this script, or if it’s the same as a couple of years ago. Does anybody know?

Great interview, i this os date is great although i still think it has a along way togo before it beats some of the other products on the marketing like emeeting (http://www.datingscripts.co.uk) and webscribble (http://www.webscribble.com)
