Hidden gems & power features

Things that are easy to miss but worth knowing:

Member Match ranks people by how many of your tagged interests they share — filter to Top interests only, or to things you actively do vs. just watch.
"✓ I'm Here Now" on the Dashboard broadcasts where you are right now — perfect for impromptu meetups without creating a full event.
Tagging an interest Not Interested on Interests hides it from recommendations — a fast way to clean up what you see.
In Chat, the ⋯ menu lets you pin, reply, save, or delete any message — plus edit or unsend your own. Pinned messages stay at the top of the thread; the 🔔 Notify action pushes an alert to a contact who's offline.
Every event supports three reminders (set on Event Details) that fire automatically by push/email at the times you pick.
Popular Interests isn't just a list — tap any interest to drop into a live chat room with everyone who shares it.
Chat Text Replace auto-expands shorthand as you send (e.g. omw=on my way) — in Chat and LiveChat alike.
LiveChat is a fast, SMS-style 1:1 view of any conversation — open a Chat and tap LIVE to text someone in real time, with typing indicators, read receipts, and an I'm on LiveChat ping.
Mute reminders without turning them off: set Quiet Hours and a 12-hour Do Not Disturb snooze on Notifications.
Favorite people in your Contact List and they show up first in every member dropdown.

Color coding

Blue — Events and Manage screens.
Green — Groups.
Red — errors and destructive actions (delete, clear, remove).
Orange highlight — a warning, or something you need to do/fix.
Lime "Save" buttons commit changes; gray buttons navigate without saving.

Quick interactions

Press Enter in any search box to trigger the 🔍 button; tap the × inside a box to clear it instantly.
Most filter dropdowns remember your selection across sessions.
Toasts (the pop-up messages up top) close on any click, not just the ×.
Save buttons show a spinner while saving and turn red briefly if a save fails.
Offline? A banner appears at the top and Save buttons disable until you reconnect — your place is kept.
Keyboard power-users: press ? on any page for the full shortcut list. g then a letter jumps to a section (g d = Dashboard, g c = Chat). / focuses search; Esc closes any overlay.

Install qMEET on your phone

qMEET is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — install it like a native app, no app store needed:

iPhone / iPad (Safari): tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
Android (Chrome): tap the menu (⋮), then Install app or Add to Home screen.
Desktop (Chrome / Edge): click the install icon in the address bar.

Installed, qMEET runs in its own window and works offline for pages you've already opened — with no background battery drain (it's only active when you open it).

Your data & privacy

qMEET will never sell or share your information with third parties.
You control who sees your name, age, gender, availability, last-active time, and event membership — set it all on Preferences > Privacy.
SMS notifications use your carrier's free email-to-SMS gateway — set your phone & carrier on My Profile so they arrive properly.
Review or edit everything we store about you on My Profile and Preferences; see Security & Privacy for the full breakdown.

Tips for every page

Each page on the site has its own ⓘ Tips button. Here are all of those tips in one place, grouped by area — tap a group to open it, or search above to jump to a page.

Your hub

Dashboard

📍 Open Check-in to broadcast where you are right now — a great way to spark an impromptu meetup without setting up a full event. After 2 hours with no confirmation it clears itself automatically.
⏱ Each card's time-window dropdown (e.g. “Next 2 weeks” for events, “Active in 24 hours” for contacts) sticks across sessions — tune each one to your pace and forget it.
🗂 Cards collapse and reopen independently — click any title bar to toggle. Your open/closed layout is remembered per card. Empty cards auto-collapse so the dashboard never feels like a wall of nothing.
⚡ The chips under the greeting (Find Events, Find Groups, Member Search, Chat, Add Event, Invite) are one-tap shortcuts to the main areas.
Suggested ToDo's nudges — invite friends, add contacts, RSVP, finish your profile — auto-disappear as you complete them. Clicking a nudge that mentions a card (e.g. “Your Events”) jumps to and opens that card.
⌨️ On a computer, press ? for all keyboard shortcuts; press g then a letter to jump around (e.g. g c = Chat).
Pop-up toasts at the top close on any click, not just the ×.
Use the ← Back button to the left of the page title instead of your browser's Back button, and tap the ⓘ icon any time to reopen these tips.
📲 Not using the qMEET app? Install it from your browser for a faster, full-screen experience that still works offline.
💻 On a computer? Install qMEET from your browser's address bar (look for the install icon) for one-tap access.
🔔 Turn on notifications so urgent chats and event reminders reach you even when qMEET is closed.

Getting-Started Checklist

🔒 Your manual check-offs are saved on this device only — they won't follow you to another phone or computer. Auto-completed boxes (locked) are always re-detected from your account.
✅ Most boxes check themselves off as you do things on qMEET — those are locked; the rest you tick yourself when you're ready.
📊 Nothing here is required — the progress bar is just a guide to help you get the most out of qMEET. Tap any item's action button to jump straight there.
Reset My Checks clears only the boxes you ticked yourself — auto-completed ones stay checked.

Walkthrough

☰ On a long page like this, the floating On this page menu jumps between sections instantly — especially handy on a phone where scrolling through cards takes a while.
💡 The Good to Know section (collapsed, near the bottom) has the site-wide shortcuts most people miss — the scroll-progress bar, keyboard nav (g c for Chat, etc.), and toast behavior.
🧭 Quickest start: skim the two open sections, then tap Make It Yours and Good to Know to expand them — the Install section is optional if you're on desktop.
For a page-by-page feature reference, head to Tips. You can revisit this Walkthrough any time from More → Walkthrough.

About

🚀 No need to read it all — tap Create a Free Account to sign up, or browse events right now without an account.
☰ On a phone, use the floating On this page menu to jump straight to any section — Three Promises, Who It's For, and so on — without scrolling through everything.
🧭 Already signed up? The Walkthrough is the better next stop — it shows how everything fits together and where to start.
💬 At the bottom of Why We Built It there's a direct link to submit a feature idea — we often turn those around the same day.

Joining qMEET

Only First Name is required here; Last Name is optional but helps friends find you by name in search.
🔒 Untick It's OK to show my last name to keep it private — we never sell or share any of your info.
🧭 The whole sign-up takes about a minute — eight short steps, and you can edit anything later from your profile.
Tap the Why? link to see why a field is useful.

🔒 Your exact birthday is never shown to anyone — only your age, and only if you leave It's OK to show my age ticked.
Untick that box to hide your age publicly while still letting age-filtered events match you behind the scenes.
🎂 Birthday is optional — skip it if you prefer, but planners use age ranges to tailor events and groups.

A selection is required — pick Prefer not to say if you'd rather not share it.
🔒 You can control whether your gender shows publicly after joining from Preferences.
Gender helps filter gender-specific events and groups, and gives members a quick sense of who's in one.

📱 Phone is optional — if you entered an email on the next step, you can skip this entirely. But adding a number enables SMS reminders for chats and event updates.
If you enter a number, also pick your Phone Service (your carrier's text gateway) so we can reach you — choose Other if yours isn't listed.
If this number is already on a qMEET account, you'll see a warning as soon as you move to the next field.
🔒 We never spam, sell, or share your number.

📧 You need either an email or a phone number — email is optional only if you entered a phone on the previous step.
If this address is already on a qMEET account, you'll see a warning as soon as you move to the next field.
Your email is used for chat notifications, event updates, and recovering your account if you forget your login.
🔒 We never spam, sell, or share your address.

📍 qMEET doesn't use GPS — this is how it finds events near you and lets friends find you by location.
Pick Canada and the State dropdown switches to a free-text Province/Territory field automatically.
🔒 Zip / Postal Code is optional and only used for finer location matching — it's never shown publicly.
City is also optional; the more you fill in, the better your local event matches will be.

👤 This is the only name other members see — a public handle like a screenname. It must be unique across all members.
Your private username comes next on the final step and is never shown to others; only this display name is public.
We've pre-filled a suggestion from your name — change it freely (up to 25 characters; letters, numbers, and - . @ & _).

🔑 Password: at least 8 characters (10+ recommended) mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and/or symbols — a short memorable phrase works great.
👤 Username: at least 4 characters with 3+ unique ones; avoid sequences like 123 or abc, and it can't appear inside your password.
👁 Tap the eye icon to reveal your password and double-check it before finishing — there's no confirm field.
You can change your username and password any time from Update Credentials in the menu.

Events

Event Search

🔔 Allow notifications so we can remind you of events starting today or tomorrow.
🗂 Your filters persist per device — the Which events, When, Sort, Category, and location dropdowns restore automatically on your next visit.
📍 With no city typed, the radius filter uses your profile location — type a city to search anywhere else.
🎯 Set your Interests once, then use the My interests dropdown to instantly narrow results to events that match your top interests.
Inside an expanded card, set ★ Interested, Maybe, Don't Know, or × Not interested — it saves immediately without a full page reload.
🤝 Tag events (Interested / RSVP) and add your buddies as Contacts — your Dashboard then shows which events your contacts are interested in or attending, so you can meet up!
📋 Open ⚙ Filters & Sorting → Hide These Categories to permanently suppress categories you never care about — saved to your account, not just this device.
📝 Build a Keyword List (e.g. “Winter Activities → ski, snowboard, skating”) and select it from the dropdown to filter event titles by any matching word.
Tap ＋ Create New Event to host your own.

Event Details

📄 Duplicate Event (in the Manage card) creates a new event pre-filled with this one's details — the fastest way to reschedule a recurring gathering.
📝 Fill in your RSVP with what you're bringing, guests, and any food allergies — when you arrive, flip Are you going? to Arrived/Attended so the organizer can find you.
📅 Add to Calendar downloads a standard .ics file that opens in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook — 🔗 Share opens a panel to copy the link or invite people directly (from your contacts or by email); Copy Event URL just copies the link.
🗳️ In Activities & Voting, vote on what sounds fun so the group can decide together.
💬 The Event Chat card lets everyone attending coordinate in one place.
The hero banner counts down to the start; once the event begins it switches to counting down to the end.
⚐ Report Event flags it for admins — the organizer is never told who reported it.

Edit Event

⚙️ Settings & Publishing has the two switches that matter most: Event Confirmed (vs Proposed) and Go Live? (visible vs hidden) — your event won't appear in searches until both are set.
🔎 Before naming it, tap (check for similar & duplicate Events) next to the Event Name — if something close already exists, you can join forces instead of splitting the crowd.
📝 Only name, category, and start/end date/time are required — save right away and fill everything else in later.
The short description appears in search-result cards; the full description shows on the event's detail page — use Bold, Italic, and List buttons to format it.
🏷 After saving, use Edit Tags so members can vote on activities, and Edit Members to invite and track RSVPs.
🔒 Info for Event Organizers Only (in Extra Details) is private — only co-organizers can see it. Use it for vendor contacts, setup checklists, or notes you don't want members to see.
🗂 Use the section chips at the top or ⊕ Expand All to jump around — the ✓ Save bar stays pinned so you can save from anywhere on the page.

Edit Event Members

⤓ Export CSV downloads the full attendee list (names, RSVP status, contact info) ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets — opens in a new tab so you stay on this page.
➕ Add people three ways: paste a list of phones/emails (one per line — new accounts are auto-created for anyone not found), pick from your contacts, or add a whole group at once.
Use the status pills (Going, No RSVP, Organizers, Banned) or the search box to zero in on the right people — both filters work together.
On each member card you can Make Organizer, Ban, × Remove, or ✉ Send Invite. Expand RSVP details to see what they're bringing, their comments, and who invited them.
✉ Send Invites sends to everyone at once — tap Send Invite to Myself first to preview the email, and tick Resend to reach people who were already invited.
⚠ Invites only reach recipients after your event has been approved — unapproved events show a locked event page.

Edit Event Tags

👍 The vote count badge on each tag shows how many members are keen on that activity — use it to prioritize your event's agenda.
🏷️ Tags let members vote on what they actually want to do together — add the activities and topics that fit, then check back after members have voted.
Search the central library by keyword and tap a result to add it; or pick a popular tag from the quick-add chips below the search.
Tap × on any tag to remove it from this event — this does not delete the tag from the library.
Can't find the right tag? Propose a new one at the bottom — it becomes available after a quick admin review.

Similar Events

🤝 If a close match comes up, open it and offer to co-organize — combining efforts beats splitting the crowd between two near-identical events.
🔎 Results are ranked strongest match first — use the Strong / Possible+ pills to focus on the best hits, or the name filter to narrow a long list.
No close matches? The ＋ Create This Event button carries your typed name straight into the new-event form so you don't have to retype it.
Tick Only upcoming & in-progress events (on by default) to avoid false positives from long-past events with similar names.

Places

🌐 Public places appear in searches and can be attached to events so members know where to go; 🔒 Private places are visible only to you — useful for personal spots you want to remember.
📍 Tick I'm here now on save to set this as your current location — your contacts will see where you are until you check in somewhere else.
Add a street address to unlock the 📍 View on map link (opens Google Maps in a new tab) for easy directions.
Only the Place Name is required — so you can save generic spots like "Home" or "Work". Everything else (city, state, address, zip, description) is optional and helps with search and mapping.

Groups

Group Search

➕ Tap + Join right on a result card to join without opening it — the button turns into ✓ Member (tap again to leave).
↺ Reset Filters clears a state or city filter you set months ago that's still narrowing results — useful when no results appear but there should be some.
🔒 Private groups don't appear in search at all — card badges flag pending approval (your join request is waiting) or yours (a group you created).
🔍 Tap ▲ Show Search Options to filter by Which Groups (all / member of / created), city, or state — press Enter or tap 🔍 to search.
➕ Nothing fits? Tap + Create New Group to start your own — it goes live after admin approval.

Group Details

➕ Tap + Join Group to become a member — if the group requires approval your status shows as pending until the organizer says yes, and chat is hidden until you're approved.
💬 Group Chat is members-only and opens only after you're a fully approved member — expand it to start chatting.
🔒 Private groups are only visible to members — you'll only reach this page if you were invited or are already in.
🔗 Share (top right) opens a panel to copy the group link or invite people directly (from your contacts or by email); 🖨 Print opens a printable view in a new tab.
Organizers see a Edit Group card to edit details or Edit Members; a note explains why it's hidden for non-organizers.
⚐ Spotted a problem? Report Group at the bottom flags it for admins — the organizer is not told who reported it.

Edit Group

⚠️ Each time you save an existing group, it goes offline and awaits admin re-approval before becoming visible again — plan edits in one session to minimise downtime.
🔒 Only Public groups appear in search results — set Group Type to Private for invite-only communities. Enable Members Must Be Approved to review every join request before they're in.
🔎 Tap (check for similar & duplicate Groups) next to the name field to fuzzy-search existing groups and avoid creating a near-duplicate.
📝 Only Group Name is required — short & full descriptions, location, and organizer-only notes can all be added later.
💬 The Info for Group Organizers Only field (under Settings) is private — only co-organizers see it, not regular members.
👥 Use Edit Group Members (below Save) to bulk-add by phone/email or manage the roster after saving.

Edit Group Members

⚠ Send invites only after the group is approved — uninvited people can't open the group page until it's live. Tap ✉ Send Invite to Myself first to preview what members receive.
➕ Bulk Add accepts phone numbers or email addresses, one per line — new accounts are created automatically for anyone not yet on qMEET.
🔍 Filter the roster by status pill (Organizers · Members · Pending · Banned) or type in the search box — both filters work together. ⤓ Export CSV downloads the full roster for Excel or Sheets.
On each member card: ✓ Approve / × Reject pending join requests, Make organizer, Ban, or × Remove the member.
Check Resend in the Send Invites card before sending to reach members who were already invited but may have missed it.
Add existing contacts quickly via Add From Contacts below the bulk-add box — no need to type a phone or email.

People & interests

Member Match

🎯 The more interests you tag on My Interests, the sharper your matches — tagging dozens or hundreds is encouraged.
🔧 Filter to Top interests only to surface people who share your strongest picks; add a location filter to find them nearby.
🔍 Use the name filter box or the Strong / Good+ pills to quickly triage a long Best Matches list.
➕ Add a promising person straight from their card with ＋ Add contact, then start a chat from your Contacts.
🤝 Each card shows the overlap % from both sides — a short list with high overlap can beat a long one with low overlap.
📊 Matches by Interest (collapsed below) groups the same people under each shared interest — useful for spotting a shared niche.

Member Search

🔍 Find a specific person matches their exact email or phone; a full name only works if they allow it in their privacy settings.
🎯 Open Shared Interests to rank results by overlap — by count, by percentage, or stack specific interests with ＋ Add and choose ALL vs ANY.
📍 Set location to Near Me and pick a radius to find members nearby (uses your profile city for the origin).
👥 Leave the age range at 18–100 to include everyone — members with no birthday on file are skipped by any narrower range.
💬 Each result has a Chat button — or use the Filter results box to jump to a name in a long list.

Public Profile

💬 To message them, tap ＋ Add Contact first — the Chat button only appears once they're in your contacts.
👀 Viewing your own profile? This is exactly how you appear to everyone else — only what you chose to share is visible here.
🗓️ The Availability card (collapsed at the bottom) shows when they say they're most free — tap its title bar to open it.
🔗 Tap Copy link to share this profile; only an admin can see a member's email or phone.
⊘ Block hides them from your contacts and chat (reversible anytime); ⚐ Report User flags abuse for review.

Contact List

★ Tap the star to favorite a contact — favorites pin to the top here and in every chat recipient list across the site.
✎ Set a private nickname for any contact whose name is too similar to someone else's, or longer than you'd like — the nickname shows instead of their name everywhere you see them.
🔎 Search (Find people) matches an exact email or phone number only — partial names won't appear. Don't know their email or phone? Use Member Match or Member Search instead.
🔍 The filter box under My Contacts searches by name and location — type a city to find everyone from a place.
💬 Chat opens a 1:1 conversation; the name (or Profile) opens their public profile.
🚫 Block moves a contact to the Blocked list and hides them from chat (reversible from the Blocked card below).

Interests

🎉 Tag as many interests as are true — dozens, hundreds, even thousands. The more honest your tags, the sharper your Member Match results and event recommendations.
⭐ Use 😍 Love sparingly for the handful of things you're most into; those carry the most weight in matching.
🏃/👀 On any tagged interest, the 🏃/👀 button flips between “I actively do this” and “I just follow it” — this helps organisers create the right events near you.
🚫 Hide keeps an interest out of all your recommendations entirely — useful for things you actively dislike.
🎯 Tap a face to rate — 😍 Love, 🙂 Like, 😐 Meh, or 🚫 Hide; tap × on a tagged chip to remove it.
➕ Can't find an interest? Suggest it at the bottom — it goes live for everyone once an admin approves it.

Interest Tracker

⚙️ Flip on Show do / follow / competitive options to mark whether you 🏃 actively do an activity, 👀 just follow it, or do it 🏆 competitively — this helps organisers build the right events near you.
💾 ✓ Save Changes saves everything currently visible at once — narrow the list first with Scope or the status filter, then save the batch.
🎯 Only interests you've already tagged on My Interests appear here; set a status to 🚫 Remove from this list to hide one without untagging it.
📊 Set your skill level (Beginner → Expert) on each card to let others know where you're at.
🎨 The coloured strip and chip on each card show its current status at a glance; use Scope or the status filter to zero in on a subset.

Popular Interests

💬 Tap any interest to open its live chat room and meet people who share it right now.
💖 Interests you've tagged are highlighted so you can instantly see how popular your favorites are against the rest of the community.
🔍 The filter box narrows the list instantly client-side — no page reload needed.
📈 Ranking counts members who love or like each interest — 🥇🥈🥉 mark the top three, and a bar shows relative popularity at a glance.
🎯 Don't see your thing ranked? Tag it on My Interests to add your vote and help it climb the list.

Chat & messaging

Chat

🔔 Allow notifications so we can notify you of urgent messages.
⋯ The ⋯ menu on any message lets you 📌 Pin, ↩ Reply, ⭐ Save, or 🗑 Delete it — and on your own messages, ✏ Edit or ↺ Unsend. Pinned messages stay at the top of the thread.
🔴 Urgent flags the message red; the 🔔 Notify menu action pushes an instant alert to a contact even when they're offline.
✍️ Set up Text Replace rules to auto-expand shorthand as you type (e.g. omw=on my way) — applied silently on send.
💬 The recipient dropdown picks a contact, group, event, category, or interest. Empty? First add a contact, join a group, or join an event.
Press Enter (or tap ▶) to send. Attach files with the FILES button, or stage them in advance on Files to Send — images are auto-resized.
Tap View to switch saved filters (Unread, Sent, Saved, Pics, Files…).

Chat Text Replace

⚠️ Matching is case-insensitive and matches inside longer words — add a space before or after the word to target whole words only (don't use quotes).
🧪 Use Test Your Replacements at the bottom to preview exactly what your contacts will see before saving.
✍️ Each rule is find=replace — e.g. omw=on my way or gr8=great — applied only to messages you send, never ones you receive.
Leave the replace side blank to delete the matched text entirely (e.g. um= strips the word).
Tap ✎ Edit as text to type raw find=replace lines directly — one rule per line, up to 8000 characters total.

Files to Send

📎 Files queued here stay until you send a chat message — stage them now and they ride along automatically with your next message to any conversation.
🖼️ Images are automatically optimized on upload so they send faster and take less space.
Remove one file with its × Remove button, or empty the whole queue with × Clear All.
Tap ✓ Upload and keep adding files — multiple batches merge into one queue. Limits: 10 MB per file, 50 MB per send.
💬 In a hurry? Attach files directly in Chat with the FILES button without pre-staging them here.

Your account & settings

My Profile

📷 + Upload and × Delete for your profile photo save immediately — you don't need to tap Save Profile for those buttons.
📱 SMS reminders need both a phone number and its carrier selected — the text routes through your carrier's email-to-SMS gateway.
📅 Fill in your weekly availability so event organizers can pick times that work for you — they can be granted permission to see it in Preferences.
✏️ Your Display Name is the public handle others see — the only required field, must be unique, 25 characters max.
🕒 Set your time zone here or on the Preferences page so event times and reminders land at the right local hour.
Tap Why? next to any field to see exactly how that information is used.
Choose where alerts and reminders are sent (notification email / SMS) on the Notifications page.

Update Credentials

🔑 Your current password is required to confirm any change — even if you're only updating your username.
Changing just your username? Leave both new-password boxes blank and only the username updates.
🚪 Sign Out Everywhere instantly ends your session on every device — no password needed, handy after using a shared or lost device.
New password needs 8+ characters with at least 3 of: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols.
Username needs 4+ characters with at least 3 unique characters — no common strings like '123' or 'abc'.
👁 Tap the eye icon next to any password field to show or hide what you've typed.
⚠️ Deactivate Account hides your profile and stops all notifications; your data is kept and you can ask us to reactivate later.

Preferences

💾 Every Display and Privacy option saves the instant you change it — no Save button click needed for those dropdowns.
🎚️ Site Mode controls how much you see: Simple hides advanced options, Standard is the default, and Ludicrous shows everything.
🏠 Clicking the qMEET logo in the upper-left goes wherever you set it — point it at Chat, Find Events, or wherever you start your session.
🔒 Privacy dropdowns control who sees each part of your profile — Everyone, Only Contacts (mutual), or Nobody. They save instantly too.
🔔 Reminder channels, Quiet Hours, and Do Not Disturb live on the Notifications page.
👤 Name, contact info, and availability are on Edit My Profile.

Notifications

✅ After subscribing, tap 🔔 Show a Test Notification — it confirms this exact device will display them, which browser permission alone doesn't guarantee.
🌙 Quiet Hours is a nightly schedule; Do Not Disturb is a one-tap 12-hour snooze — both mute all reminders without permanently switching them off.
🔔 Reminder Preferences and Invitation Notifications each let you turn push, email, and SMS on or off independently — two separate cards, one for urgent-message reminders and one for event/group invites.
Push reaches you even when the site is closed; your browser asks permission once. Blocked? The on-screen steps show how to re-allow it per browser.
✉ Notification Delivery sets a separate email address or SMS number for alerts — leave blank to fall back to your account email.
📱 SMS reminders need a phone and carrier saved on your profile — the text routes through your carrier's gateway.
⏱️ Remind me every… repeats push reminders only; email follows its own delivery schedule.

Forgot Login

🔑 Enter the email, the phone number, or both — either one on your account lets us find you.
📨 Two buttons, two jobs: ✉ Send Username emails/texts your username; ↺ Reset Password sends a temporary password to login with, then change.
📱 We reply to the email and phone on file — check your inbox and your texts.
Forgot which email you used? Try each address you might have signed up with.
Requests are rate-limited, so wait a bit before retrying if nothing arrives.

Sharing & invites

Invite a Friend

💡 Login first before sharing — when you're not signed in the link has no referrer tag, so people you bring in won't be credited to your account.
📋 Tap Copy under Or share this link to grab your personal invite URL for any text, email, or chat app — no form to fill in.
👥 Inviting a whole group at once? Use the invite members tool on the Group page instead of adding them one by one here.
📨 In person? Have them scan the QR code at the top — it opens qMEET straight away on their phone.
✉ Type an email address and hit the (add @gmail.com) shortcut link if you only know the username part.
Invites are rate-limited per account and IP so you don't trip spam filters.

Help & info

Help

🔄 Most glitches clear by logging out and back in — it rebuilds your session and reloads all required variables.
🔔 Notifications stopped? Open Notifications, click Unsubscribe, then Enable Notifications — this re-registers a stale device token.
🐞 Still stuck? Report it via Contact Us with the error text and the page you were on.
🛠️ Work the steps top to bottom — simplest fixes first; move on rather than repeating a step that didn't help.
🍪 × Clear Cookies resets saved preferences (theme, font size, filters) without logging you out.
🕵️ Incognito / Private Browsing gives a clean cookie and cache state without touching your normal profile.

🐞 For bugs, say what happened, what you expected, and the page you were on — including any error text — detail gets it fixed faster.
📷 Drag images onto the screenshot area (or click Choose Files) — visuals often explain a problem faster than words.
💬 Want a reply? Pick Yes (or “Doesn’t matter”) under Expecting a Reply? to reveal the email / phone fields.
🚨 There are two rating axes — Urgency (how time-sensitive) and Importance (how impactful). Set Urgent only if the site is unusable right now; most reports are Normal / Normal.
⏳ Sends are capped at 10 per hour — if you hit the limit, wait a few minutes before trying again.

📬 Tap or press Enter on any row to open the full thread — your original message, status, and our reply load below without a page refresh.
🏷️ Each row has two status dimensions: Open / Closed (whether it's still active) and a progress badge — New, Queued, In Progress, Resolved, Rejected.
✉ A reply shows as an info panel inside the detail card with the date we answered — tap the row to read it.
＋ Use Send New Message → (top right) for a new bug report, question, or idea rather than re-opening an old row.

Security & Privacy

🛡️ Found a vulnerability? Report it via Contact Us (Security Issue) — these get top priority.
☰ Use the floating On this page ☰ button (bottom-right) to jump straight to any of the 8 security cards.
🙈 You control your own privacy: hide your age, gender, or shorten your display name in Preferences.
🔐 Cards cover: site-wide, login, chat, events & groups, account & session, member matching, contact form, and PWA security.

What's New

Donate

💲 Pick an amount (or type a custom one in the Other $ field) first — PayPal pre-fills it in the link; Venmo opens its profile so you confirm the amount in the app.
📋 Copy link copies the donation URL so you can paste it straight into your banking, Venmo, or PayPal app — handy on mobile.
🆓 Can't donate? Inviting friends and sending feedback help just as much — see the “Can’t Donate?” section below.
❤️ qMEET is free, ad-free, and never sells your data — donations only cover hosting, domain, email, and development.
