Our Featured Advisor
I'm the cofounder of funadvice, happily married father of two, and a big fan of the team that helps to manage this site - especially all the fun members of the Funadvice community.
My older brother is 'funguy' one of the many people that helps out on the site. Drop me a note if you ever have any questions, etc.

Very sorry to hear you've had a bad experience on the site. Did you report the mean person? Did you block them ? there is a "block" link on member profiles when you view them...then, they can't contact you via fun mail comment on you photos, etc. ...
Ok, it should be back now...try it again? :)
One really good explanation for this, as an example, the science category: http://www.funadvice.com/interests/science is also our newest category (we just added it ~ a month ago)...and as a result, it hasn't accumulated enough questions to pick up ...
everything is going to be alright...isn't that bob Marley? I'd add that one :)
143 answer ratings today, 203 questions...and nearly 1,000 answers so far. For the month, the ratio of answer ratings to answers seems to be about 8.5% give or take a percentage or two.
http://www.funadvice.com/search/people?city=brighton&country=GB&username= We only have about 100K members, of those, about 28K are "active" eg, were here in the last 90 days. So...odds are, it might be hard to get somebody to have a beer with. Ho...
Um...I hadn't thought that far ahead. Sorry :( Eventually we might have some kind of points system on the site...but that's a bit of a ways off, and not on topic :)
I know my ancestor's culture was stolen from them through war. So was yours, I'll bet. Why cant we just give peace a chance? :)
I think I'd stay away from the real estate market at the moment...interest rates are still too low, which means the prices haven't fallen as much as they could. When I was 5 or 6, in the early 80's, interest rates were 16+%...if they rose to that level...
Learn what you can about the company. Show initiative. Be confident, not arrogant. Make sure if you get questions about your resume, you have already thought of how you'd respond to the questions. Think of these questions: What value would you b...
kloaiza86, well done, you get the bonus points ;) What I find interesting though is the irony: in Muslim countries, you can't celebrate X-mas without being "Christian" even though history shows there was *many* holidays there before Christ was consi...
I'm not talking about a *criminal* I'm talking about something that, in the US, UK, Canada, Australia...dozens of countries, would *Not* get you arrested. But, in a certain country, it would. So...it seems the consensus is, don't block that country,...
See the related questions? That this EXACT question has been asked 4 times before...? :) Can you please try the site search...especially if it's something that we might have covered before? With 140K questions...well, we've covered at least a topic ...
...on our site, you can also limit pictures to friends only, instead of everybody, by editing your profile. So the only picture that could be stolen would be your default pic, in that case.
No idea, honestly, if she did, I hope it worked out well. My first one was rough on my wife (23 hours of labor...)
People can delete their own account anytime...unfortunately, that means sometimes good members leave :(
use our member search... We have 100,000 members now, and it's far raiser to find people that way than by asking a question.
http://www.funadvice.com/q/my_daughter_passed_away_today I'm reasonably certain she wouldn't have lied...
Regarding "can you get banned for using made up words"...if you don't offend people AND they can understant what you mean, then no. Thing is, different words mean different things in different places, while we all speak English, we have regular memb...
The weather is still "cold" in the summer, but it's low 60's or high 50's, so not too bad. During summer, it's quite nice, which is my favorite time of year to visit - fall is good too, though a little chillier in the evenings. TONS of people go to ...
I'd say a week, max, personally.
You can meet people in San Diego by using our member search: http://www.funadvice.com/members I visit there a few times a year, as I have some good friends that live there. Some great clubs, and places for breakfast, and hotels :) The bay is nice, ...
Funny enough, we have *really* good answers from past questions if you use our site search for "what is spooning": http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_is_spooning http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_is_spooning_5703 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_does_spoo...
http://www.funadvice.com/advisors ...and use the site search :) We've dozens or more of really, really good answers to this question :) Thanks for being interested in helping out, if you read the info available & believe it's not clear, let me kn...
If you're rude, we might disable your account. If you do it repeatedly, we might delete you without warning. Isn't life to short to be around negative people? I certainly think so...and since I'm one of the owners, I insist folks play nice :) How...
Ok, so I just changed this one - why? It's HARD to read when it's all in upper case, please type normally. And, I just changed the "Ipod" question. Why? Because you wanted to know how to put youtube vidoes *on* your ipod...which is more specific, and...
Try answering some questions ;) OR rating photos and adding friends...or starting a group.
Contact our support team, link in the bottom of the page, as your account has been suspended until we can validate your information. That's the message that was added to your account. Contact us, the info is in the bottom of the page link says "c...
Better question title, it's the biggest reason people will avoid a question. If you're spelling is bad, the title says "helppp" etc, we're going to ignore it, and so will everybody else. However, if it's specific, then you'll get more answers a lot fas...
Funny - you haven't been a member yourself for a month, it's only been 28 days...so, it hasn't been a month since they wrote to you :) And, if you view their profile here, you'll see next to their profile picture how long it's been since they last l...
You do realize that you can simply click the "add as a friend" link to acquire friends on the site, correct? And, if you want people to add you, please try to work on your spelling, as it makes it much harder for people to read. While I understan...
:) At some point, we need a GUI for these things a few times, I've not specified the exact verbiage...and yes, 3 of the 4 people who push code, so to speak, are from one country, and the other person who helps code is from yet another country, and neit...
We have "report abuse" links all over the site for just this reason...and yes, people who are "mean" regularly get dealt wtih. It's not FunAdvice if we get swamped with mean people :) Personally, I'd rather things get slightly "over reported" tha...
Monster.com / careerbuilder.com / linkedin.com / hotjobs.com / jobster.com ...those are some of the most well known job related sites. Craigslist.org is a really good resource for jobs as well.
Hm, you're in the US, and my wife wears size 6 jeans...I thought women's jeans sizes were 0, 2, 4, 6, etc? Either way, if you're trying to lose weight, you need to focus on exercise & diet. Do a lot of cardio, eat veggies & fruits, whole grains, mak...
Jibjab.com has a service that will make you into a cartoon, there is also befunky (befunky.com) that seems to offer this service.
On our site? You can't, at least, not yet, as we're still working on the technology to enable people to have personalized profiles. If you mean another site, then you should have specified :)
Problem is, the US courts always side with the mother, even if it's "wrong" ...if you can catch her with her hand in the cookie jar in some fashion, breaking the law, etc, then your brother might have a better chance of getting custody. At least, th...
http://www.funadvice.com/advisors If you read the upper left there, that's one description. And if you read through past questions (try using "advisors" in the site search, in the upper right) and you get tons of info.
That problem happened to a lot of members, *however* I thought it was fixed...hm. Can you fun mail me: when it started how many times it's happened what internet browser you're using if you get the "email bounced" message when you login And, ...
Use CSS eg, font-size: 12px, or 14px, etc, to get the size you want.
:) I did read all of that (and if you read the "about" page, you'll note I'm one of the founders / owners) and yes, we have moderators (we call them advisors, just to confuse people) and this helps a great deal. The "report abuse" links also help...
I just added you as well... if it you click the link & I'm not added to your friend list, please copy / paste the fun mail message & send it to me via fun mail. And tell me what browser you are using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) so we can fi...
1) You're underage 2) We can't diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or give proper medical advice here. Locking this, talk to your doctor.
If the email doesn't arrive, you can contact us (link in the bottom of the page) and we can approve your account manually. Also add support at funadvice dot com (as email address) to your safe sender list to make sure emails arrive in your inbox, not y...
Questions = you can't edit after people answer it (b/c people were deleting them, changing them completely, etc, which ruined the question). Answers = you have a short window when you can edit it following the posting of the answer...for comments, h...
Ah you may have been online when we were doing an update...we need to fix the screen so it's more clear when we're pushing new code live.
I'm 31...my wife (another co-founder) is also 31, and the other co-founder of the site (esconsult1) is 42...;) So you're definitely not the oldest member here. My mom is a member (58) and several friends of our family, etc are members, average age i...
Interestingly enough, we had a member come back a few days ago that hadn't been on the site in 2 years, upload a photo, and ask another question. We do delete members with bad data...however, if we removed all the inactive profiles, then people who ...
..you can also change your profile settings to have the invite arrive via fun mail instead of regular email.
