I don’t know about others but I find myself asking questions about this site and thought I would post some of them here.
Map: What do the different lit colors on the map indicate?
Visitors: What are Bots?
Profile: I thought I filled in all the information but I’m still not showing 100%. What am I missing?
Posting articles: I have a couple of old articles on John Olson, who used to own and operate Cryogenic Laboratories, Inc. It has information that could be interesting to adult donor conceived and their parents because it mentions having different collection sites in the country and being in operation since 1970. Where is the best place to post these articles?
Map: Visitors have Red/yellow location pins. Search bots will have blue location pins. Registered users who are logged in will have green location pins.
Bots: google, facebook, and other sites have bots that comb all sites on the internet indexing information for search engines. It’s a normal activity for any site. Any malicious bots are kept out by our security settings.
Profile: There may be some fields that you did not fill out. I am looking at reducing the number of fields so the % completion is more realistic/attainable. Anything over 60% is pretty good.
I would post the articles for Cryogenic Laboratories Inc. on the group you created. That is where the information is most effective and relevant. You could always post it in more than one place such as the group and the forums and/or on your profile. Any public comments made show up on the Activity feed that all members can read.
Good questions! I’ll update the FAQ page with some of these questions.
Regarding the Profile Progression bar (% Complete). I got mine to 100% by Editing my Profile and going through each tab. As the site grows/evolves Fields may be changed or added/removed. If you show less than 100% you should comb through your Profile and see what you’re missing. If you can’t answer a field (i.e. Military Experience) just put ‘N/A’ or a ‘-‘.
