I did not receive my password email!

Posted by admin on 28th May 2006

You might not be getting all your Date List email because your service provider has certain filters or “spam” blocking software installed or due to technical errors. Delivery delays are also common. To make sure you never miss another important Date List email you will need to change your inbox settings:

AOL:

STEP ONE:

Never hit the Report Spam button. Hitting this button may prevent you from getting email from us. If you hit the Report Spam button by mistake, please take the following steps to make sure you continue to get your email.

  • Access the Spam Folder in the lower righthand corner of your mailbox.
  • Click on the thedatelist.com email that you mistakenly reported as spam in the spam folder.
  • Click on the This is not Spam button at the bottom of the spam folder.


STEP TWO:

Add TheDateList.com email addresses to your AOL Email Address Book.

Starting from your AOL Homepage,

  • Under Mail in top left corner, click Read
  • Under Mail Options pull down to Address Book
  • Click Add
  • Under Primary Email Address, select other email, then type: admin@thedatelist.com
  • Click Save
  • Repeat the previous three steps, also adding: support@thedatelist.com

Emails from these addresses will now go to your AOL Inbox.

MSN Hotmail:

STEP ONE:

Never click the Junk button with an email from TheDateList.com. Hitting this button may prevent you from receiving email notices from thedatelist.com and not just the individual email that you may not wish to view. Emails marked as junk will be automatically sent to your Junk Email folder and deleted. Reporting and blocking an email will prevent any and all email from thedatelist.com from getting to your inbox.

STEP TWO:

Make sure there are no emails from thedatelist.com in your Junk E-mail folder. If you find an email from thedatelist.com in your Junk E-Mail folder, find the email and check the box, then click Not Junk. Clicking this button will allow you to receive emails from thedatelist.com. Emails marked as junk will be automatically sent to your Junk Email folder and deleted.

STEP THREE:

If you open an email from thedatelist.com that is located in your Junk E-Mail folder, click on the icon Not Junk Mail.

STEP FOUR:

Please complete the simple steps below to make sure all thedatelist.com email is deliver to your Hotmail Inbox.

Add thedatelist.com email domains to your Safe List:
Starting from your Hotmail Inbox click on Contacts tab at top of the screen

  • Click on Contacts Tab
  • Add the following domains to your Safe List exactly as they are displayed: @thedatelist.com

YAHOO:

STEP ONE:

Never hit the Spam button when either viewing or marking the checkbox next to a thedatelist.com email. Hitting this button may prevent you from receiving all email from thedatelist.com and not just the individual email that you may not wish to view.

Please complete the simple steps below to make sure the thedatelist.com emails you’ve requested are delivered to your Yahoo! Mail Inbox.

Add thedatelist.com email addresses to your Address Book:

Starting from your Yahoo! Mail Inbox

  • Select the Addresses tab at the top of the screen
  • Select Add Contact In the space next to Email type: admin@thedatelist.com (It is not necessary to fill in the rest of the form)
  • Click Save Contact
  • Click Done
  • Repeat the previous four steps, adding: support@thedatelist.com

This will NOT guarantee that email sent to you from thedatelist.com will be delivered to your Inbox. Please check your Bulk Mail folder regularly for email from thedatelist.com.

Other Internet Service Providers:

To ensure that thedatelist.com communications are not filtered into your “junk/bulk” folder, select the Add/Save to Address Book function in your email browser and follow the appropriate instructions. Please contact your email provider if you would like assistance.

Many email providers have “spam” or “junk” functions that will automatically delete or block emails that you report as “spam” or “junk.” Hitting these buttons may prevent you from receiving email from thedatelist.com not just the individual email that you may not wish to view. For best results, avoid using these functions with thedatelsit.com communications.

If your email looks distorted or if the links within the email do not work, your email provider may automatically send emails to your inbox with the images and links deliberately turned off. Many email providers provide functions that allow you to see images and links in your email; it’s often just a matter of hitting a button or two. Please contact your email provider for assistance on allowing images and links to display in your email.

New Features Coming Soon!

Posted by admin on 20th May 2006

We are in the process of adding some new features over the next two weeks:

Flash Video Chat will be added. We are currently working with the leading provider of web based flash chat to add this feature to our site. You will be able to enter the chat room and either just chat or turn on your cam and video chat with the room or individual people.

We will be adding a photo upload link to the post an ad page so you may ad 1 photo per ad. Please note that nude, vulgar, obscene, etc. photos are not permitted and will result in deletion of your ad.

We have already changed the color of each ad category so it is easier to spot the ads you are looking for.

An age field will be added to the post an ad page.

A password retrieval link will be added so that if you have lost the password to access your ad you can recover it.

    Please also note that the TOS and Privacy Statement have been updated.

How our system works at The Date List

Posted by admin on 17th May 2006

We have tried to come up with a way that is easy to use and also prevents a lot of spamming. A few other sites just forward emails to you or you may respond to an ad and get an auto-responder trying to sell you something. That is not what we wanted and I am sure not what you want.

When you post an ad it is shown on the city page you selected as well as on the 1st page for a while as the latest 50 posts appear there. When someone reads your ad and chooses to respond their response is stored on The Date List and you are sent an email from us telling you that you have a response. To check these responses you will need the email with your password that was sent to you when you posted your ad.

If you did not receive this email with the password check your spam folder and see if it ended up there.
