Welcome to MMAJacked! To make your experience here the best it can be and get you off to a good start, here is a list of things to do right away.
 
1. Edit My Profile
 
You can use the Edit Profile link under your avatar in the sign in area or go to My Cage > My Profile
 
Check the "Make Online Status Public" box. Let people know you're online and that it's not a ghost town.
 
Fill out the information and decide which information you'd like to be public, private, or viewable only by your friends. This is what will be displayed on your profile card whenever someone clicks on the link of your screen name above your avatar.
 
Edit your avatar and upload a picture of yourself so you can quickly be identified by others.
 
2. Edit My Notifications
 
Next to your photo, either click on the Edit Notifications link or in the left navigation bar, go to My Account > My Notifications and pick how quickly you'd like to be notified of activity. Remember, you may miss out if someone is commenting your profile's pictures or the posts you make in News and Fitness if you have it set to less than Immediately.
 
We suggest using the Immediately option for everything until you get a feel for how the site works and then change the setting based on your experience and comfort level.
 
3. Edit My Dashboard

Also in the left navigation bar, go to My Dashboard. Here you will find a way to customize your landing page so you can organize the things that are of most interest to you. There is a lot of information here and instead of displaying it all, we suggest you start off by only picking a few items to avoid confusion from too much information. Yes TMI can definitely be a problem.
 
Once you're comfortable in the site and you'll find things that are important to you and place them on your Dashboard.
 
4. Make Some Friends

The community here is very friendly and open to new members. Go out there and say hello!
 
5. Get Involved in the Discussion
 
Create a forum post or join in one that already exists. Go to the groups and listen to a radio show, then share your thoughts on the group's forum. Is your gym listed on the site? Rate your gym and tell everyone about it! Browse through the photos and videos. Rate them as well and feel free to compliment the owner.
 
6. Share This Site with Friends
 
If you find something on the site you like, (a post, an article, comment, photo, video, group, athlete, or even an entire page) run out and tell your friends by directly sharing it by using the embed or direct link codes. You can find them next to nearly everything.
 
Just look for links that say "Share This" or "Embed" and they're sure to help you post our content in emails, on message boards, websites... pretty much everywhere.
 
If you have any questions, please feel good about contacting and I'll work hard to help you out.
