A - Main Members Login
This is a view of the top,left part of the members Area. Members can catch up on news on login, view account info, use a drop down menu to navigate, or open up a qustion mark help box with essential task links (On the right so not show here), or simply click on a side menu item to start using the site.
continue ...
Many areas lead into the next part of the process - content is orientated to the stage you have reached. MLM (15 levels of referrals commission) , AUTOSURF (weekly surf cash contest) , a CASH COW (Request cashout and receive your earnings!), the clicksmatrix has been called many things. What we are, first are foremost is an advertising website!
continue ...
Members Main Account
Members Main contains Members Account, Members Cashout, Account Stats, Trans Records, Ranking and Report. We will focus of Members Account as it is the one that will need some further setup. This is because our join page is designed for use whilst surfing, so we don't ask for everything at that stage.
Setting a password reminder has been added to the join page recently, to help members who lose their email addresses and their passwords. But other items which are useful, such as your telephone number to we have an alternative way to contact you and forms for payment processors to enable cashout are not asked for, or required for membership, but they are nevertheless useful.
continue ...
Account Status Bar
The top status bar shows your username, the amount of cash in your account, your membership level, and a drop down box.
continue ...
Drop Down Menu
Drop down menus provide a quick and easy alternative to using our side menu system, and open a new page on top of the existing page. Some surbars have drop down menus that open their links in a new window, so it is possible to maintain your surfing whilst carrying out other important setup tasks.
If you need to a add a site, submit a new banner, add new keywords, or simply check your surfing stats, this is a useful feature that will help you.
continue ...
B - Members Account
Clicking on Members Account from the Members Main will take you to your main members account.
Take a look at the other pages by clicking on all the members main accounts links in turn. Most are reports of one form or another, designed to keep you in touch with how you are doing. The Account STATS link is particularily useful, as it contains links to various areas associated with the stats, where you can perform tasks as a result of what your stats tell you.
continue ...
In fact, this page is so important that it is the one members are returned to after surfing, giving you instant results.

How To Upgrade!
Upgrading does help support our site and your other members. When you join - logon - surf - or do any important tasks on the site - you will not find yourself looking at any of our upgrade pages if you chose not to click one of the links in the Upgrades menu shown here ...
Subscriptions upgrades have a separate link on this sub-menu. If you do upgrade using a subscription, please be aware that subscriptions renew every 1,2,3,6,9 or 12 months, depending on which option you choose.

C - Edit Account Info
Let's go Back to Members Account - Click on Members Account to edit the info there. Members account details are now shown. The illustration below shows part of a typical account, with a few of the boxes filled in by us a moment ago. Normally omst will be blank, as members are not asked for this on signup. Extra information you want to add to your account should now be added to these boxes ...
Members can add extra informationm or edit their main account details in the top part of the form ...
Members can add notes in the next area down. Each box allows members to add up to 1000 characters. (Note to Self - edit the boxes sometime to show more than 1 line.)
The next section is for editing your main email address, password and reminder.
The reminder is a recent addition to our join form. The ideal is that even if someone is logged into your account, they cannot see it or change it, unless they know what the reminder is. We use it primarily in support. Knowing it is NOT a reason we would change your email or password for you, as there are forms to take care of that.

D - Edit Email Address
Let us look at the procedure to change your email address in a little more detail.
To start this click on the link in your account as shown here ...
Next , Top
E - Change Email Address screen
This loads this form ...
Next , Top
F - Enter new email address twice
Enter your new email address in the box below.
Ener your email address twice, this is to avoid sending an activation link to an email address that is not yours.
Of course without the password the person receiving it will not be able to change your email address, and it will be de-funct within minutes anyway. You really must have your email box open for this to work !

G - Error Handling
Quick tip - Click and drag the mouse across your email address the first
time you enter it. The hold CTRL and press C , release CTRL, then click anywhere
in the 2nd box and hold CTRL again and press V, to paste your email address
in. As you can see I have used webmaster@clicksmatrix.com email addresses.
See how many times you can type that correctly before you spell is as
webmaster@clciksmatrix.com. (Not many ;)

H - Message displayed after clicking
Note:- These alert boxes pop up from time to time on with area sensitive error handling messages on all parts of the site.
The message confirms successful submission or will alert you to any problems found with your submission.

I - Email address remains the same until clicked
You have now added a new email address in place of your original one.
You must confirm your new email address before the final change takes place. Please check your new email address inbox and follow the instructions given. We look at what we send in that msg below ..

J - Email with confirmation code to click
This is typical of the email you will be sent, although we have since edited it a little. (There is nothing like trying out the systme yourself to make you change things, for the better. Simply click the activation link or copy and paste it into your browser.
Next , Top
K -Email Confirmation Area
After you click on the email link, or copy and paste into a browser, you will go to the email change confirmation screen. Simply enter your password to confirm. You will not be logged in, this screen simply gives you permission to alter the entry in our database for your main email and it also deletes the temporary value we have stored for you. Once you have submitted this form once with the correct information, the code will simply cease to exist, as the entry is deleted at the same time.
Next , Top
L - Typical Entry In The Browser Address Bar
If you simply copy and past the link sent to you into your browser your link will look like the above. We do offer a HTML click link as well, but that may contain extra values. Check that the last item is your username. The code when entered will look like the one above. Once you click the GO button on your browser it will take you to the one time only screen. You will be logged out of the members area if you are logged in, and will have to login again.
Next , Top
M - Confirmation When Successful Update
We have added a database error report that will show the reason for any errors there. Since I made this picture above we have also added an extra box below the confirmation box, that asks members to check for any database error report coming up. the report will generally show up if your email address is the same as one already in our database. We will add a code to our email change form soon to stop members requesting duplicate entries, so that will be changed, but we will keep the error box there so you can report errors.
Next , Top
N - Login And Check Member Account
And that's it. When you login again and go to your main members account your new email address should now have replaced your old one. We will add a confirmation email for this , so that you will be notified by email as well.

O - Join/Add Payout Payment Processors
In your main account area you will also find empty boxes ready for you to input the payment processors we use on clicksmatrix. Members are able to request payout to any of them, although the main ones are Alertpay, Safepay, E-gold and Ugotpaid. Ugotpaid is easiest for us to use, as we own it, it might not be the best, but you can trust us and can withdraw by wire transfer on there direct to your bank account once you have validated your account. Once you have tried it once you will realise that we are the cheapest and easiest option, plus the most trustworthy, as we own other sites, including this one. Basically we just want to ensure you get paid. The only 2 we do not have funds in are E-bullion or Netpay. We hope this changes over time.
Next , Top
P - Save Your Update
Clicking a blue link there will open a new window and take you to the payment processor. You can return simply by closing the new window (TIP - Or you can simply override our "new window" command by holding CTRL to open the sites in a new TAB !). Once oyu have your email address or user id, we specify which you should enter, then simply add then in their appropriate boxes and then click the submit button. When the page reloads you will see your new options there. You can also see the date you joined the site here.

Q - Referrals link, Startpage and referrer
Below the submit button you will see your referrals URL (Website address) and a link that will take you directly to the BANNERS area.
Your referrals link is also in the code.
Adding it to another traffic exchange ensure the .GIF part is added to the appropriate box. Please right click and save the images you find there.
Below this you will see the startpage link to surf site externally.
Typically in your browsers TOOLS menu , you will find an OPTION item. Clicking that will bring up a window that will show your current HOME PAGE. PAsting the link in there will set your start surfing page as the first site shown. You can also save it to favorites by clicking the favorites menu item on your browser and selecting add there.
It is easier to copy and paste your START PAGE URL into your browser first, to make sure you that it is right. You can save it either as your home page or in favorites.
Next , Top
Add Notes To Your Account
We have now added 3 "Save Notes" text areas to your account area. You can save up to 1000 characters in each box.(We may provide a link to a dedicated page later, giving many more options and larger text boxes. )
