    To block a user you will need to visit that user's profile click 'Block User'. Blocked users can still view your profile, but they cannot send you a message or communicate with you. There is no way to prevent someone from seeing your profile.

  8. How do I unblock a user?
    Login to your account, go to Account Setting and click 'Blocked List'. From here you can unblock whatever user you wish to unblock.

  9. How can I add anyone to the "My Friends" list?
    There are two ways to add people to your personal list of friends found under "My Friends". First, you can invite new people to join Campusbug. If they sign-up through the invite link you send them, they will automatically be added to your "My Friends" list. Second, you can add anyone whose profile you see on Campusbug to your personal list of friends. From the profile page of the person you would like to add to your personal list of friends, simply click on "Add to Friends," found under "Contacting Me," in the section just below the person's picture. You may add as many people to your personal friends list as you'd like (some members have THOUSANDS of people on their personal list of friends!). Keep in mind, when adding existing Campusbug members to your personal list of friends through the "Add to Friends" link, the person you are attempting to add will be able to approve or deny your request to be added to your personal list of friends.

  10. How can I delete friends from the "My Friends" list on my profile?
    To remove a person from your Friends List, start by clicking "My Homeroom" in the top navigation menu from any Campusbug web page. Once in "My Homeroom" page, go to "My Friend Space" and click "Edit Friends." You will see a listing of every friend on your Friend List. Click "Delete Friend" to remove that person from your Friend List. You may only delete one person at a time or click the box next to delete to delete multiple Friends.

  11. How do I add color, graphics, & sound to my Profile page?
    Color, graphics, and sound to your profile page is easy and requires only a basic knowledge of HTML or CSS. Simply go to "Edit Profile" and enter the desired HTML coding where appropriate. If you do not know HTML or CSS, you can reach out and make a new friend by asking someone who has color, graphics, and/or sound on their profile page how they did it. People on Campusbug are friendly and always willing to help, so just ask! This is a great way to meet new people!

  12. Why is my profile page suddenly messed up? It has music, sound or strange graphics on it?
    Your profile page may suddenly change and/or appear messed up for one or two reasons. Either you added some HTML code to your profile page improperly (i.e., forgot to close a tag, etc.), or someone else added an HTML Comment on your page. While only you have secure access to edit your own Profile page, others can place HTML code when leaving you a Comment on your Profile page. If you feel you have caused the problem yourself through improperly implementing HTML code on your Profile page, simply troubleshoot your HTML code to determine where the error is, and fix it. In the worst-case scenario, you may need to remove all your HTML coding (DO NOT delete your Profile), and start your HTML coding again from scratch. If the problem lies in a Comment that someone else left on your page, you can attempt to identify which Comment contains the HTML code, and delete it from the list of Comments on your Profile page. Though there is not always an easy way of identifying which Comment contains the embedded HTML code, you can often narrow it down by observing when the problem first occurred... i.e., if everything was fine until Comment "X" was added, then try deleting Comment "X" and see if the problem is solved. We strongly encourage you to attempt to resolve these issues yourself using the above solutions.

  13. How do I change my default picture?
    Go to your “Edit Pictures” page. You will see each image you have uploaded click on one and you will have the ability to "Set as Default" then click "Save" and once saved click "Done" to finish. The image you "Set as Default" will be the image everyone sees as your profile picture.
