At Yeners Way we host our premium tutorials on a website called Vimeo. Unfortunately, in some countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and China to name a few), Vimeo is blocked and inaccessible. If you are in one of these countries and have subscribed to Yeners Way or purchased a tutorial individually, you may see a blank area where a tutorial video should appear. So at this point, you basically have 3 options…request a refund, move (joke), or use a VPN.

What’s a VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. VPNs can be used to access region-restricted websites, shield your browsing activity from prying eyes on public Wi-Fi, and more. VPNs essentially forward all your network traffic to the network, which is where the benefits – like accessing local network resources remotely and bypassing Internet censorship – all come from. Most operating systems have integrated VPN support.

How can I get a VPN?

Firstly, there’s the free option which is quick an easy. You can simply use an extension for Google Chrome called Betternet Unlimited Free VPN Proxy. After installing it to Google Chrome, there will be a shield icon in the top right corner of Google Chrome. Click the shield, and then click ‘Connect’. You should now be able to watch the tutorials.

If you do not use Google Chrome, there should be similar extensions/add-ons for all browsers but I cannot recommend any here.

If you are after a little more control, there are also many premium options which give you more features, one of which is the ability to choose locations to connect to. This is of course a good thing because your internet speed will be faster if you can connect to a location near you. We’ve only had experience with one premium VPN service in particular which is called PureVPN but they all do pretty much the same thing…give you more privacy and security when using the internet.

If you want to watch the tutorials on a mobile device (iPhone, iPad, etc), you can also do this with PureVPN as well. They have an app for iOS and Android that makes it very easy to get setup.

Of course if you have any issues, feel free to email us and we will be happy to assist.

DISCLAIMER: It is your responsibility to check the laws in your country and check whether using a VPN is illegal or not. We do not accept any liability or responsibility over anybody’s internet activity.

Firstly, if this happens to you and you receive a strange email from an unknown person, that was sent from Yeners Way, you should just ignore and delete it.

So what else can you do?

To prevent the user from doing it any further, head over to the user’s profile page at Yeners Way and flag the user as inappropriate. This will mark the user as spam in our system and they won’t be able to send any more messages.

In order to do this, first you need to know what the person’s username is. To find out what the person’s username is, take a look at the email that you received and find the person’s username. It will be seen on the line that reads…”username sent you a new message:”. After you have found the user’s username, there are two ways to go.

First way
Open your browser and in the address bar, type ‘http://www.yenersway.com/members/username’ where username is the person’s username that is shown in the email. This will take you to the malicious person’s profile page where, provided you are logged in, you will see a link to flag the user as inappropriate.

Second way
First make sure you are logged in to Yeners Way. Then from the main navigation bar, go to ‘Community’, then click on ‘Members’. This will take you to a page where you can search members at Yeners Way. Now enter the person’s username that you found earlier from the email, into the search bar at the top right. After you find the user, click on their name from the search results and go to their profile page. Now you should be able to see the link to flag the user as inappropriate.

Here’s a screen shot of the link…

As a last precaution, just contact us to let us know and we will disable the malicious user’s account as soon as we can. However, please understand that we can’t guarantee that the spammer won’t just create a new account and repeat the process.

Unfortunately, this kind of activity is part of the internet and the only way to stop it is by getting rid of the social features of Yeners Way altogether…and we don’t want to do that do we?. Best we can do is stay vigilant and be careful about what we click on and respond to in our emails. As long as we don’t take the desired action in response to a malicious email, then there’s nothing to worry about.

I hope this new view mode is useful and would love to hear any feedback so feel free to comment or email me Also please let me know if you run into any bugs and they aren’t working as they should.

How do they work?
If you click on the ’60 SEC REPEAT’ button, the video will play the last 60 seconds, over and over until you click the button again. As long as the video is in repeat mode (indicated by the circling arrows spinning around), the video will repeat. Once you switch it off, the video will stop repeating and continue to play as per normal. The ’30 SEC REPEAT’ works exactly the same way except it’s 30 seconds instead of 60. If you click the ’30 SEC SKIP’ button, the video will jump forward 30 seconds and if you click the ’60 SEC SKIP’ button, the video will jump forward 60 seconds. If you click the ’30 SEC REWIND’ button, the video will jump back 30 seconds and if you click the ’60 SEC REWIND’ button, the video will jump back 60 seconds.

If you are currently a subscriber or you have purchased tutorials from Yeners Way, I hope you find these new action buttons useful. Please comment below if you do, I would love the feedback! Also, anyone has any other suggestions on how we can improve your learning experience, your ideas are always welcome.Thanks!

This will make it much easier to get around and only watch the parts you need to refer to at a given time. There’s plenty more in the making and we are always working hard to provide a better user experience for our members.

To give it a try, just go to any of our premium tutorials, click on the ‘Lessons’ tab and click on one of the lessons. If the tutorial is in parts it will also take you to the correct part.

If there’s ever anything you can think of that would make Yeners Way better, we are all ears so please drop us an email with your suggestions and requests.

Thanks

Heres what the widget looks like for our Cute Farm Animals Cake tutorial

We want to make it super easy for our active affiliates to do their thing so we created a special Affiliate Tools widget. To see this widget, you must be logged in and you may need to change your Display Options settings so that your Affiliate Tools widget is set to ‘Show’. Once those 2 requirements are met, the widget will show up in the right sidebar of any of our premium tutorial pages.

Basically, this widget will contain a bunch of different sized banners specific to that tutorial that will be preloaded with your unique affiliate ID. So all you have to do is just copy the code, and paste it on your blog or website. The widget will also contain standard text links that you can use as well.

Sites like Facebook and Pinterest won’t actually allow you to post affiliate links in your posts and pins. If you have a WordPress website/blog of your own, and you want to use the standard text affiliate links on social network sites like Facebook or Pinterest, you can use a plugins like Pretty Link or Simple URL. These plugins will basically allow you to just share a link to your own site that will redirect through your affiliate link to Yeners Way.

By far the most effective way to promote Yeners Way is to write a review or recommendation in the form of a blog post/article, which contains your affiliate link/s. This way, you will receive traffic through search engines as well as being able to share your post on social networks with no limitations.

If anyone is interested in more information on our affiliate program or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help.

Although we have been building it for a while now, Yeners Way is still brand new at the time of writing this. We are constantly working on it, improving and making changes to it daily. One small issue that we have encountered is where users are uploading their avatars or cover images and they are not being updated properly on their profiles.

This problem is related to the ‘Display Options’ page. To fix this, just head over to your ‘Display Options’ page and simply click the ‘Save Changes’ button. This will put all your settings into effect and it only needs to be done once, so after the first time you do this, all your display options will work as they should. Yes, this is supposed to work by default, but it’s a technical issue we are looking at and we hope to resolve it in the near future.

So to summarise, after you have logged in to your account, go to your ‘Display Options’ page under your profile and click the ‘Save Changes’ button to make everything take effect and work properly. Once you have done that, all your display options will work as they should.

Thanks!
