help I am so lost. I miss all the banter, I miss the guys. Feels like i lost part of me i dont understand this place ye

How can I help you?  I'm the  newbie host.  PM me if you want to ask privately.  Read the self help center, it will answer some of your questions.

I assume you are one of the displaced providers from the site that got shut down. Yes TER is a little different. Be patient. Read the self help center, which you can find at the top of the page by the life preserver. You may find helpful things about the site. You can also read back on this newbie board and find some helpful discussions. Join in discussion boards. The SF board has become really active since the shutdown of the other place. TER has also added three new discussion boards and ad boards for California. Hopefully you all can assimilate here. You can post an ad every 7 days on your regional ad board. Read the 'provider ad posting guidelines' as they do have rules you need to follow. Post your pictures on the Photo board. Hopefully TER guys will review you here.

There is also a chance you already have reviews here. Go to the review link at the top of the page and thrn go to "search."
You can search under your name or former names, any phone number you ever used as a provider, and email addresses. If you find reviews, contact admin and ask them to link your reviews to your username. This will help you by putting a direct link to your reviews every time you post on any board, and also will give you free Provider VIP. The Provider VIP gives you access to PMs here on TER as well as allows you to read your own reviews.  

Good luck. Hope you feel welcome and are able to make it work for you.

I am not sure I am registered as a provider..Isearched for myself and didn't come up..I have so many clients wanting to rview me, and I am unsure if I set this account up correctly

you get a review.  Up to then, you are just a member like the guys.

...decided to join TER. It appears that doesn't do what you would think it does based on what it says. It may flip some switch for TER that they can access later (pure speculation on my part about this) when you get a review. I have posted some information below that I believe will help you.

Subject: I registered as a provider yet my page is acting as if I'm a regular member. How do I set everything up?

 
Everyone when they join TER is a basic member. There is no "Provider" membership, provider page, etc. The way to let others know you are a provider is to post ads on your TER regional ad boards, post comments on your regional discussion board (Don’t make these posts about you like an ad but make them pertinent to the subject. They will be disallowed if they sound like an ad.), and participate on the Photo Only board. Check out the Self-Help Center for the guidelines for posting ads and how to post photos. The Self-Help Center link is on the upper right of most of the discussion boards under the red and white life preserver. It’s also at the bottom of the list of Quick Links on the left of the My TER page. See the My TER tab at the top of the page. Read everything there even the stuff for the guys. It's good to know all you can.  
 
You can pay for a VIP membership. It will give you full access to all TER has to offer but it won't distinguish you from any other member. The things I mentioned above and the link spoken about in the next paragraph will do that.  
   
Once a guy has seen you, written a review of you, submitted it to TER, and it's been approved and posted you will have a provider profile page. Your first reviewer will create your profile when he fills out your information. You will then have a TER provider ID number. (You can contact TER and correct anything the guy got wrong on your profile or didn’t know.) Next step for you then is to contact TER and request they connect your newly created profile with your TER handle/user name (Naughtyandnice23). Contact them using the e-mail you signed up with. Their address is [email protected]. This will give you the free limited provider VIP membership. It will also give you access to the TER PM (private mail) system and allow you to read your reviews in there entirety. It will also place a link which says "See my TER reviews" under your handle whenever you post on a TER board. Guys can click the link and be taken to your profile page and check you out. The provider VIP will also give you access to the provider functions on TER such as being able to white list clients.  There is a Provider's only discussion board. You have to have 3 reviews and establish yourself on the boards then request that TER give you access to it.

I also recommend you read the Message Board Posting Policies/Discussion Board Guidelines. That link is next to the Self-Help Center link at the upper right of the discussion boards.

Welcome, I hope this helps.
