How do I upload, embed, or record videos with my webcam?

1. Hover over the "Videos" tab and select "My Videos".

2. Select one of your albums or click on the "Add Album" button to create one then select it.

3. Click on "Add Videos" in the blue tab menu.

4. Where it says "Choose uploader", you can click and select your desired upload method. Selecting "Record" will initialize your webcam to record on the fly. ;o)

Why the name change?

A couple of reasons. 1., When many guys hear "bear" in a name they automatically assume you have to be a bear or like bears or be a part of that community in order to identify with it. The Zone has always been about promoting diversity and Opposites Attract! Everyone can be a chaser in a way and 2., It's about time the Chasers got a site for guys that like THEM and not the other way around!

With so many members on the site, Why aren't they contacting you?

I can tell you with 100% confidence, from member feedback, that the more active members get a LOT of attention. All YOU have to do is COMPLETE your profile!!! Even better, upload your own videos and photos and be sure to use the "TAGS" field!! When members are viewing content with the same tags, yours will show up under the related section on the very same page! Complete your profile, filling out all fields. It works, trust us.

I can't save or update my profile!

Some fields are mandatory to be field out. Please be sure you've filled in all the fields that have a little red star by them. If you click "save" and it still won't save, look for any field that has a red circle by it. Those will need to be filled out before you can save.

Why are some profile fields mandatory?

Because it improves the overall experience of the site. It's been common on other sites to allow members to join, but not input any information on their profile. We've only made some basics mandatory. So if you want to be a part of our comminity, our members know a little something about who you are as opposed to nothing.

How can I get a BearZone Shirt and/or a BearZone hat?

You can get shirts and hats at www.BearZoneShop.com, and more shirts and goodies at CafePress.com/UnderOneWoof. The caps are only available at www.BearZoneShop.com. The Logo is trademarked so these are the only places you'll find our apparel with the symbol that represents diversity. If you attend the events we sponsor you have a chance of getting one just by being present. I've also given away free stuff to active supporters of BearZone as a Thank You.

----------Dicktionary -- Definitions of Terms Used on This Site---------------

Admirer: Someone who has a particular regard or admiration for a member of Our community. Otherwise pretty undefined.

Bear: Often a misconception and misunderstood. A Bear is a man in the Gay Bear Community who identifies as such. That's as simple as it can be put. It's an attitude or state of mind. Being hairy does not make someone a bear. Having a little extra weight or a lot of extra weight doesn't make someone a bear. There are many Bear Men who are leaner and many bear men who are smoother. In general a Bear Man does have facial hair, but body hair is not a must. Bears come in all colors, all sizes, and many shapes. Bear is the most basic of titles but some members of the community have come up with many other titles that further describe what kind of bear man they are physically. For a full list of that checkout the wiki page.

Bear Chub: Someone who is a gay bear man that further defines his build as being a bigger or chubby guy. Not all bear men define themselves as Bear Chubs even if they are chubs.

There is no defined age for this so many men in their 30's and even 40's have referred to themselves as bear cubs. Again, being a bear is more about an attitude or state of mind. So to is being a bear cub.
