If you are unable to access the site and have a legitimate gripe about it please feel free to contact us. There have been a few people spamming old harvested emails from the site from before they were encoded and I have set some pretty broad IP blacklist ranges to prevent this from affecting the good people who use The Date List.

If you get a spam email from an ad please forward it to abuse [at] thedatelist [.] com (without the [] and at=@) so we can take care of it for you.

It appears there are 1 or 2 spammers harvesting the anonymous email links on our sites and then sending spam to them. From what we can see most of this is ending up in spam/junk email boxes and not reaching your inbox but to be proactive we will be encoding these email links (I will post when this has been completed). What does this mean? Well, for one the link will more than likely say “click here to respond to this ad” rather than pers-####@thedatelist.com as it does now.

Now comes the question of using web based email clients like Yahoo as there is no longer an email address to copy and paste into your Yahoo email. Until a feasible solution is found you will need to click the link which will open the email client on your PC and then copy the email address from there. While that is not an ideal solution it will keep the spammers at bay for now. We will continue to work to make a better solution to this. It may also be in your benefit to use Gmail and have that email read by your email client on your PC and also allowing you to respond to ads using your Gmail email address without having to copy an paste.

To get a Gmail account click on this link - www.gmail.com. For explanation of how to get your mail on your PC using Gmail do the following - create the email account > login to the email account > click on settings > click on the Forwarding and POP tab > select Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on > click save changes. Also, on the Forwarding and POP page you will see a link for configuration instructions - click on it and then select the email client you have on your PC to configure it to get the mail from Gmail.

For the simplicity of it in the coming weeks I will be making some video tutorials to show you how to navigate and best make use of the site. For starters there will be 3 videos: Basic site navigation, how to post an ad and password recovery.

After several attempts we have finally come up with a design we like for the Gay Date List. Big props to Fused for putting up with us through this process. There are a few minor tweaks needed for some of the older browsers - IE6 especially (and I am sure a few of you still use IE6). If you do have Internet Explorer 6 and want to upgrade you can for free from Microsoft. Just click here and you will be taken to the Microsoft IE7 download page.

Again, thanks Fused for the awesome work!

I sometimes get an email asking how our sites work. To help you out a “how to” page has been added. Click here to view it or click the tab in the header of the page.

A couple of people have emailed and asked how do i get back to the home page from “such and such” page. If you look in the top right hand corner of every page you will see three icons. The 1st looks like a house - click it and it takes you home to the main page. The second is a question mark and brings you here to the help section. The third is an envelope and take you to the contact us form. Hope that helps.

The syle sheet for IE7 needs fixing and is being fixed as we speak. Should not be too long before the CSS for IE7 is back to normal. If you are on a Mac use Safari or FireFox. If you are on a PC use FireFox. The site works fine in those browsers. This ONLY affects The Date List and NOT the Gay Day List.
