Safire Sweet

Do you have any reviews? (Is that you in Dallas?) Is your question about how to link your reviews to your membership account (safire_sweet)? I think that one is easy: you contact the Admins asking to make the link. Then, the "See my TER Reviews" hot link will show up under your name in your posts.

Is your question about advertising to be seen MORE as one? That you do on your local board, according to the rules (one ad post per week, I think).

If I've missed, please clarify and ask again.

I did some research... I think we need a review to be linked to our profiles?  I am hoping it is not a situation where a review must be posted to be seen as a Provider...

Once you get a review, you have to send an email request to admin from your "regular" email that you signed up with to link it back to your profile.   I just went through this.  If it doesn't happen within a few days, then email them again.  Took me 3 emails and almost 2 weeks to get it done. They are busy and it takes time.  Sometimes emails get lost in the shuffle.

Your handle/alias can often identify you as a provider in the meantime - just by the nature of the name.
