A freilechen Chanukah everyone!

Behind the scenes we're constantly working to improve the GuardYourEyes website. Today I'd like to update you about new improvements to the Partner Program to make it easier and simpler to use:

• We have temporarily disabled accounts that haven’t been active in the last year. This makes it much more likely that person you want to connect with will accept your request.
• Email notifications about activity in the partner program have been more user-friendly.
• When you get an email notification about a new request, you can accept or decline by clicking a link in the email — no login is necessary.
• The speed of the Partner Program on the website has been greatly increased.
• You can now specify if you’d like to be in touch with potential partners via SMS text messaging or whatsapp. (This is in addition to the standard options of phone, chat or email.)
• You can specify which additional languages you speak (e.g. Yiddish).

We’ve also changed the term sponsor on the Partner Program to mentor, and the term sponsee has been replaced by protégé (pronounced prodo-zhay). A protege is “a person who is guided and supported by a more experienced person”.

If you have any questions about anything related partner program, we’re here to help. You can email me at info@guardyoureyes.org or call/text/whatsapp me at 646-600-8100.

The importance of the Partner Program...
If Reb Yochanan’s words were true two thousand years ago, how much more so in an age when Yiras Shomayim is at an all time low and the mentality of “what will the neighbors say?” is what drives many lives.  The ability to access the worst imaginable temptations in the privacy of one’s own home with but a few clicks of a mouse places today’s generation at a tremendous risk.

This spiritual pandemic has caused even the secular world to recognize the truth of Reb Yochanan’s words and the value of bringing מורא בשר ודם into our homes.  Without an element of “public perception” to protect themselves, even the most righteous have stumbled.

Another new feature, by popular demand:

You can now set a special email to be used for the partner program that is different than your regular GYE email address.

To use this feature go to guardyoureyes.com/tools/partner-program?view=accounts, and under the email option, choose "I'd like to use a different email for the partner program".

Two more updates:

• You can now browse the list of partners/mentors more easily, by narrowing down the list to members that match certain criteria. Try out those options at https://guardyoureyes.com/tools/partner-program?view=members
• You can now select multiple options for describing yourself. Sometimes that can give potential partners more of an idea about the type of background you have.

In regards to the this last update, I just tried to set my background to chabad and it says updated successfully but in the member list it does not actually update and I am unable to find anyone else who is chabad leading me to believe this is a general problem.

I have the same results....nobody is registered as chabad
