Where do I report users for inappropriate conduct? We require supporting evidence before we can act on abuse reports so it is important to file your report from the correct place.

For inappropriate conduct in MeezNation, click on the members name, and select "report abuse".
For inappropriate conduct in the Forums, or private message, use the nearby "report abuse" link in the Forums.
For inappropriate content on a profile, or other issues outside both MeezNation and the Forums, email us here: report abuse. Can I post my Meez in the Forum area? Yes, here are the steps:

Go to the Export area (under the "My Meez" menu).
Choose your Meez and Meez size, then copy the second link labeled " IMG -- for forums on our site or elsewhere"
Go to the Forum and paste the link into any post.

What is the Media Box? The Media Box allows you to really customize your profile. Almost anything you can put on a webpage, you can put in your Meez profile, through the magic of HTML. HTML is just text with some symbols in it, like < and > You can cut and paste bits of it into your profile to make your profile look better. For example, you could include images, music, or videos. What you include is up to you. In general, if it appears on a webpage, you can find a way to include it. How do I use the Media Box?

Embedding an image into your Media Box:
To embed an image, enter "<img src='XXXXX'>", where XXXXX is the URL of the image. For example, to embed an image with the URL http://images.meez.com/user04/02/02_10030398808.jpg, you would enter:
<img src='http://images.meez.com/user04/02/02_10030398808.jpg'>
This would show up as:
Embedding a link into your Media Box:
To embed a link, enter "<a href='XXXXX'>YYYYY</a>", where XXXXX is the URL of the link, and YYYYY is the name you want the link to have. For example, to embed a link to http://www.meez.com as "Meez", you would enter:
<a href='http://www.meez.com'>Meez</a>
This would show up as: Meez
Embedding music into your Media Box:
To embed a music file, enter "<embed src='XXXXX' height='60' width='100'>", where XXXXX is the URL of the music file you wish to use. For example, to embed the http://www.xfiles.com/xfiles.mid background music, you would enter:
<embed src='http://www.xfiles.com/xfiles.mid' height='60' width='100'>
Embedding a YouTube Video into your Media Box:
To embed a YouTube video, find the video's page on YouTube, then copy the text out of the 'Embed' box on YouTube and into your Media Box. This 'Embed' box appears on the right hand side of the page, under the 'Subscribe' button. For example, to embed the following video: YouTube - Meez - Your Angel You could use this:
<object width="425" height="355"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZCfMhoQfkg&hl=en"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZCfMhoQfkg&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"> </embed> </object>
Embedding a Google Video into your Media Box:
Under the video title on the top right of the page, there is a link named 'Embed'. Simply click this and some text will appear in a drop-down menu. Copy this text into your Media Box.
Embedding videos from other video sites into your Media Box:
Go to the page of the video you wish to include, and look for the word 'Embed' on that page. Most video sites now have a box which include the HTML you need to copy into your Media Box to make that video show in your profile. If a particular site does not have any obvious way of including its videos, you can contact us for help.

How do I find good embeddable content for my Media Box? First, decide what sort of content you would like to feature on your profile. It can be music, video, images, or anything else you think would fit on a web page. If it is an image or audio, you can find it by searching for it in Google, and then embed it with the instructions above. So, if you were searching for an image of a brown bear, you might search for: 'brown bear' using the Google image search.
If it is a video, Google and search for it, plus the term 'embed'. So, if you wanted political videos, you might search for 'politics video embed' or 'political video embed'. If you wanted to put images of bears on your page, you might search for 'bears video embed'. By including the word 'embed' you should find only results that have a clear 'embed' link, such as imeem.com. This embed link will provide you the HTML text you can copy into your Media Box. Just copy it in, and save.
Looking for icon images? Try these sites:

Note that, to use images from these sites, you must upload them to a site like ImageShack® - Image Hosting to host them, and link to their URL on imageshack instead of their original URL.

Looking for video? Try these sites:

Looking for background images, or skins? Try these sites:

Note that these skins are designed for MySpace, but they also work in your Media Box on Meez. Simply get the code for the skin you like, and paste it into your Media Box. Note that your Media Box will take on that style, but the rest of your profile won't. You can use this to include your favorite large image in your Media Box as a background. You can put other content (like YouTube videos, images, or music players) on top of a background image or skin, simply by adding it after the code for the skin.

How do I send a Private Message (PM)? Visit your friend's profile and click on Send Private Message. You can find your friend's profile by going to http://www.meez.com/USERNAME, but be sure to swap the word "USERNAME" with your friend's actual Meez user name.
