Introduction
The purpose of this page is to give users coming to the site a dashboard for entering the site along with marketing (graphics + copy) that supports the value prop.

Requirements
This page will have the four main navigation areas of going to: My Pages, My Friends, Latest Buzz, and Contests. There will also be sign-in (link or actual form TBD) and register link.

Use Case: Vouyeur
Home
Can view anything

The animated "friends viewer" will be unlinked to any profile. The link will lead to the "my friends" page. See Below.

My Pages
Selecting this link will take them to a marketing page that will explian to them what they can do with the site specific to the my pages area and the mobile phone. See this section for more information.

My Friends
Selecting this link will take them to a marketing page that will explian to them what they can do with the site specifically to friends and meeting people. There should be an email this site to a friend form on this page as well. See this section for more information.

Latest Buzz
Selecting this link will take them to the actual latest buzz that everyone sees. However, if the vouyer selects a link they will be stopped and prompted to register. See this section for more information.

Contests
Selecting this link will take them to actual contest. The vouyer is open to vote however their votes will not be stored or tallied. See this section for more information.

Register
Selecting this link will take them to the registration start page. The vouyer can begin the registration process by submitting their phone information. See this section for more information.

Sign In
They will probably not select this link unless they are trying to hack the system. The rules outlined below apply.

Footer Links
Vouyers will have full access to all of the footer link's content and functions.


Use Case: Registered User
Can view and interact with anything. They will probably not need to select the register link but they may if they wish. The animated "friends viewer" pic will be linked to the actual profile it belongs to.



APIX Sign In Module
The Apix module will have a username and password form. The user will be instructed to enter their APix FM Universal Login information. Once the submit button is clicked the form will be validated and the contents will either be accepted or rejected. NOTE: The submit button may become an image rather than a standard submit button but this will be deternmined during the UI/Design Phase.

Accepted
If accepted, the user will be taken to their profile page.

Rejected
If rejected, the system will display a message by the submit button without refreshing the page that their login is incorrect. The user will only be allowed three rejections before a contact customer service notice is displayed. At this point the user may contect customer service for help or select the "forgot password?".

"Forgot Password?" Link
If the user select the "forgot password?" link then they will be taken to a new page where they will be prompted to enter their email address that they used to register the account with. After they enter their email in the form and select the submit button. The message will change to say that their password has been emailed to their xyz@email.com account (where xyz@email.com is the email adress entered by the user in the form). The email the registrant receives should look something like this:
  1. Email contains: Example: “Dear Username, You have requested that your login information be emailed to you. Your Login: Username and Password: password. Please do not reveal this information to anyone. Thanks, MLab Staff”
  2. A value proposition message/site feature should be delivered to the user in content of email.
Once the user recovers their password then they can begin the registration process again.



Friend Viewer
Animated area that displays the most popular items on the site. This could be profile pics, contest pics, pics, blog pics, holla pics. Popular is defined as the most viewed, then the most voted on. The module should be updated daily and it should rotate in between 48 and 60 pics. Since this area is public the pics that go into the module need to be approved by the content team before they can be published.

When a user rolls over and holds ove a pic for .75 seconds there is a balloon pop-up that appears. In the balloon is a snippet of the pic owner's profile information. The balloon includes: a profile pic, profile name, an indicator as to whether or not the member is online, age, gender, location, relationship status, a truncated profile description, a link to the user's profile page, and a link to send a message to that person. The profile pic as well as the membername are linked to the poster's profile page. The send a message link goes to the sender's message center with the poster's info already populated in the "To" box. See the message center for more information.

Above the viewer will be a counter of how many mobile files are accounted for in mlab. This count includes images, blogs, hollas, and contest entries. Once we get more people online we will add a counter for # of profiles and number currently onlline.
