How to join

Hi, I'm new here and would like to become a member so I can meet up with others eventually. Any tips would be appreciated. I live in Billings and would like to explore what it's like to be nide around other people. I just joined so I'm still trying to update my profile.

Thanks for your consideration,

John

RE:How to join

Step one: choose a user name that's more about you than the generic one they assigned you.

You can post pictures of yourself as soon as you join, but you can't post nude ones without going through their age-verification process, which involves uploading ID. Some folks worry, but there's zero history of misuse of personal info by this site, and it's been around a long time. (Yes, info you intentionally post to your profile can be discovered and misused, but age-verification and certification pix are private to the site management.) You do not have to post nude pictures to participate in chat, forums, groups! A face pic is nice. A dick pic is out of order. True, lots of people are on here just for the pics, but it doesn't sound like that's what you're about.

If a woman half your age reaches out with a like or friend request, run away. He's probably not real, and if she's an actual female, she's up to no good. Never, ever, respond to a request from such a profile to move communication off the site. The spam girls have overrun the site's flagging system, but it's still safer than video-chat apps!

Look for groups local to you.

You'll find that the site's active membership is shrinking as its concept and infrastructure age and as its management has become more distant. But make of it what you can, and welcome.

I believe now you can't post any photos to the main gallery or your profile gallery without being verified. I believe you still can to Groups and Forums, but that's it.

Welcome, hope all is well.

I do not work at truenudists.com at all, I am only some user on here and do not work for them at all.

All you have to do now is go to your username at the top-right corner of the website screen, click it, go to the list beneath after you click it that says "My Settings" and edit into the boxes in your settings whatever you want.

ONLY IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PAY FOR THE WEBSITE enter payments ONLY IF YOU REALLY YOU REALLY WANT TO PAY FOR THE WEBSITE otherwise DO NOT PAY IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY.

Apparently, according to some users who I read earlier who were talking about it, Terms Of Service says that you have to pay to "get certified" in order to post nudist photos now, so now it is only clothed photos if you are "uncertified" so then you have to first enter payment and become a paying member before getting certified if you want to get certified and then get certified through the official process after getting the payment proccessed.

After the payment gets proccessed, you are then a paying member, and only after becoming a paying member do you then get certified, thus only beginning the certification process after being a paying member.

When you get certified, you go to the same menu beneath the top-right corner of the screen. Then you click on my settings and then click certified on the next page. On the next page, after clickng "get certified" when on the next page after you click "My Settings" in the same scroll down menu beneath your username, you have an option to get certifed.

The process for getting certified works as follows:

Step 0) (If still a step in the process, they may have removed this step) Download and Print the printed page with your user number which they will ask you to print and show in the photos you upload

Step 1) Upload 1 Clothed picture with the printed page with the user number

Step 2) Upload your ID with the printed page with the user number

Step 3) Upload 1 Nudist Picture

That is all it takes to get certified if they can approve it.

However, truenudists is often criticised from users for being slow to respond to the certification process, so it will take time so you might have to be rather patient. It is understandably frustrating when they never respond to anything, and it happens a lot here.

If you want to try other websites,

a good alternative website is realnaturism.org

another source of links is ournaturistlife.com

and naturistlinks.org

provide some links to naturism. ournaturistlife.com is a nudist naturist blog with a few links

and naturistlinks.org provide good sources of links about nudism and nudist naturism.

Thanks.

I hope that can help.

Many people get frustration from using this website, so know everyone on here is facing similar unwanted absence of ownership and customer service professionalism from this website.

Everyone on here deals with similar problems of how bad this website is, so I provided alternatives to this website that I just searched on duckduckgo.com, so I will try to look at some of the sources of those links later.

Please respond in this forum or to me directly in the Private Messages in a civil manner, and please let us know what you find here or on naturistlinks.org.

Thanks.
