I have a lighting question. Right now my lighting is pretty crappy. I have a big stand up lamp (floor lamp) and it gives off awful glare. I'm constantly adjusting it and I need to figure out something better soon, but where is the best place for lighting to go? Should it go behind me? In front of me, beside me etc? I just can't get this right and its pissing me off. I either look way too white or dark as all fuck. I know this has to do with my cam too which I am in the process of upgrading. Any help/suggestions appreciated!

I forgot if it was two in front of you and one behind you or vice versa but thats photo studio style lighting setup

Thanks snowy!! I really need something like that, but my room is so damn small It would take up a ton of room, gonna see if I can find a smaller one. The lighting situation is no bueno and I know lighting is seriously important.

WELL that sucks(let me cross live jasmin off my list)

Breezzzy, the problem there is that they put you on the higher view mode (on first page, for example, or first results in search) based on your technology performance... HD camera, high connection, good PC... I just have the good PC. The camera is built-in laptop cam and my internet is the worst thing you can imagine. An american or japanese would think I'm in stone age with this internet.

I've just hired radio-based internet with 4Mbps download and upload speed, I guess it will improve a lot. Mine is 4Mbps now, but I seldom reach 2Mbps download speed and AWFUL 0.25 Mbps speed! Also got a Logitech c920 HD webcam, yey =D

That's the problem, I guess. Had problem with lots of websites for the same reason. Just can't be cam girl this way :(

If LJ keeps giving me nothing after this huge upload I will quit there for sure ¬¬

It's almost 7:30 PM here. If my C4S money ever does show up today like they said, I guess I'll be walking to the bank's ATM in the dark. Wonderful...

Mine showed up in my Chase account this morning (7:20 am US Eastern time) so check your account and it may be there now.

Hey Ladies, I hope you can help me out with this one.

I'm thinking of doing Skype shows to form a customer-base off the sites... some of them ask for it, and I've heard girls who do that. But how can I get paid for this? I know Paypal is not adult-content friendly and can have chargebacks... how am I supposed to get my cash? =P Ps.: I live outside the US

I have another question :) I'm thinking to set some schedule and see how it works for me. But I have no idea how should I set the time zone... I mean the time zone where I live is GMT+2, but if I put 10am-12am that won't be the same hours for people in USA and UK for example. In UK for example it should be 8am-10am. So which time zone should I use, I'm so confused about that?

AliceFun

SM uses the GMT time and it's adjusting for every member entering the site i was told by SM staff.
Crazy and confusing as they dont explain that anywhere on site. If u set your own times all will be ok, americans will see the right times same for uk guys and anyone else, it's updating automatically to their time zone.

I dont like the schedule layout, i wish i could type in there "i come online in the evening GMT", why do i have to set hours and days and such? its silly. a guy told me once "oh they make u work every day with no break?" he was kinda retarded, i told him 'No, i set these times so people see when i am normally online, doesent mean i am on every day between this and this time'. but the way schedule is set its giving the feeling everyone works fix schedule like any other job, 9 to 5 lol

Yeah, and that's the reason I wish we could just tell guys "Follow me on Twitter to know exactly when I'm getting on cam," but if you say that on SM, you risk account suspension...lol.

I've also been experiencing the video freeze issue, but it seems to happen whenever I lift up my webcam off of my computer. I've seen other models say that their webcams last 6 - 8 months, and I know I've had my Logitech HD C910 for longer than that. So I'm gonna order a new webcam with this Amazon gift card either today or tomorrow.

As far as the video freeze...whenever that happens, I exit the program, unplug my cam, plug it back in, and then restart the program (or cam site). It's a pain in the ass, so I'm hoping replacing my cam will put an end to that issue.

That's interesting - I had no idea. It makes sense - all equipment wears out, but 6-8 months, geez. I've had my 910 about that long, so maybe I should order a new one, too.

I would like a C920 next. I use a MacBook Pro and know one top girl said recently she uses a 920 with her MacBook Pro and I think she always looks great (she says for lighting she uses the tree-lamps too, with daylight bulbs, nothing fancy).

Hey Ladies!!! I recently purchased a Logitech C920 to use for camming on my mac and I absolutely love the video quality!! However, I can't use it on SM or any other flash based camming site. Everytime I go to choose a new camera it doesn't show up as a camera option however it recognizes it for my sound. Anybody else have this problem? Is there a fix? I want to make sure I've exhausted all my resources before I return the darn thing and get something else! Thanks in advance!

Hi, u installed the camera software? Cameras work as plug and play normally but with out all features and drivers, installing it's software will make it recognizable by ur system as a proper camera device. If this is not the case, have a look on my older post where i explain what u can do to sort things out.

""Marina, when u try to work with out the encoder, in order to select ur camera, u go on the picture area where u should see urself on SM chat window and do right click with mouse, there u get Adobe Flash Player settings window, u go 'Settings' option and choose from next small window ur camera, microphone, whatever else, also tick the boxes of 'remember' the setting and 'permit', u have a few tabs available, just look around all of them. i try to take a screenshot for u here.

Edited to add: this procedure is working on ANY flash player based sites (they all like this i think), just go right click on the black screen where ur picture should come up and select what u need. Good luck! ""

So..I asked sm about getting gold shows, they said it's an automatic system based on time in paid chat, ratings (I've 5 start) using encoder (I don't/can't) etc. So, I wonder how good a chance do I have to get them? Thanks!

As soon as I emailed Liz or Vanessa, asking for Gold shows (have a 5 star rating), I was approved for them...even though I don't use the Encoder.

We were discussing this on the other forum, and the models on there are insisting that you CAN do Gold shows without the Encoder, but that you're NOT SUPPOSED TO do them without the Encoder. I remember a while ago on here, Incantatious mentioned that she was also approved for Gold shows after using the Encoder very little/occasionally. We all know how inconsistent SM can be about things like rules, so who knows? They're not always 100% clear about their rules, and some of the things that you and I may get suspended over...other models get away with everyday.

Signing up for CCBill and need to know what I'm supposed to put in the 'Initial Pricing Structure' section where it says 'initial price' and 'initial period'. The only thing I plan on charging guys is the $3/minute rate for my cam shows, so I'm not sure how I'd go about completing this section?

After you blocked the guy close your session and get online again so the room updates. Also you can mute him if he comes in again, but he shouldnt unless he creates a new account.

I have blocked guys on ImLive before, only for them to return to my free text chat or repeatedly buzz me for private chat again. KittyAudrey is right. Sometimes when you block them, you have to exit chat, and then re-enter chat. I know it's annoying.

I have a question. When you guys are quoting a forum post, do you see a bunch of numbers after the person's screen name (the person you're trying to quote)??? It didn't used to be like that, and it's annoying. In order for me to even quote correctly, I have to go and delete all these numbers after the poster's name.

For example, when I quote KittyAudrey her post looks something like this:
Thebodyofherpostishereandthen

And then in order to quote it correctly, I have to remove all those numbers that come after her screen name. WTF?

I guess it's just the forum system's way of knowing which post from this user you're quoting. I have seen it in the past and it just works fine. What's the issue you're having?

The issue is that when I keep those numbers there and post my response message, it doesn't quote the message correctly. And on your end, all you see is this:


The model's text

And when the quote feature is used correctly, you'd never see the word 'quote' in the body of the message. It's a minor annoyance, but not as bad as some of the other problems I've had on here in the past when trying to post.

This signup for CCBill and Zombaio is a pain in the ass. Not to mention the fact that every time I'm sent PDF files to view, I can't get them to open properly, because they always end up displaying as a bunch of crazy-looking symbols. And I DO have Adobe Reader on my computer, so why do these files still show as a bunch of symbols? Now CCBill needs me to create a thank you/confirmation page for my website (my "website" is just gonna be my blog).


In other news, I sent Mark of CamModelDirectory my fan sign, so I'm waiting to set up a time to do a brief Skype chat with him.

I'm not sure if I should even bother logging into Yahoo! if I don't even have a way for these guys to pay. I'm not accepting Payoneer payments if it's gonna take 2 days for payments to show up on my card. Guys want cam shows NOW...not 2 days from now.

I can only open PDFs in Chrome, won't work in safari (took me a while to figure out!).
I have CCBill, after I had done the thank you page I pretty much just gave them my prices, then they gave me the HTML for payment buttons which I just needed to add to my site. And they did them in suitable colours!

This probably is the SILLIEST of questions, but...

Is there a way to delete your MFC account and then open another one and get verified all over again?
I want to close my current account, because my camscore is so low from logging in before knowing what to do, I want to start clean. Is that possible? Will my chosen username become vacant so I can pick it up when I sign up again?

Any pointers are appreciated!

You used to be able to do this, but MFC has gotten strict about this sort of thing. They're likely to just tell you no, instead of opening a new account, you'll have to use your old one. I was able to make a new account a few times in the past, and then when I tried it AGAIN, they told me this.

It's better to just work with what you've got and do what you need to do to give your cam score a boost...even if that means raffles, contests, etc. to give guys more incentive to tip. I used to have a cam score in the 400s, and now it's like 1500. You can do it. :)

Not really sure how to handle them- the guys wanted me to "think about it" and then (I'm assuming) they're gonna come back for my answer? What do I do? Lead them on? Or straight-up tell them no?

Hi ladies! I posted this on the MGF but the thread is a little dead so... here I go

I submitted an application to MGF last Thursday, I'm from Central America, but I'm in Europe at the moment living with my boyfriend. I got a msg from MGF asking where did I reside. So I explained them where I'm from and that I'm living somewhere else. Then then sent me another msg yesterday that said they would need to video call with me for a few minutes in order to complete the verification process. Is this how it usually goes or is it because of my current situation that they want to verify maybe it's actually me on the pictures and on the passport or make sure I do have decent English maybe? I'm nervous they will ask me for a show or something to then say I didn't qualify or something.
This happened around 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.

I have almost the same issue. I signed up two weeks ago and a week ago I sent them an email asking if everything is alright. They got my email and sent me back ticket # and still a week after that absolutely no reply. And of course my account is still not verified. I really don't see what else I can do.
