I don't remember my user account password?

Use the form on the Send Password page.

The form is used to send a new password to the private email address of your user account. The old password cannot be sent as the passwords are stored in crypted form.

When the new password is sent the old password stays in effect until you use the new password to log in to your account. This way you can simply ignore the new password if someone else than you have requested it by accident.

Sending the password to other email address

If the private email address of your user account is no longer in use you can send the new password to an alternative address. In this case in order to make sure that you are the owner of the account you'll need to provide your birth date and correct answer to the secret question that you have defined for your account.

If you haven't defined your birth date and the secret question you have now way of authenticating yourself. The password can only be sent to the private email address.

Please note that using the Send Password page is the only way to retrieve the password to your account.



I don't remember my user account name?

If you remember the email address that you used to register the Freebok account you can request for the Freebok account name to be sent to that email address (m).

If you have created guestbooks with the user account you can get the account name using your guestbook name (m).

Finally, you can search for your information by using the user search (m). This method will not work if you have not defined your personal information in the "Freebok home" page, or if you have defined your privacy settings too high.

If you are unable to get your account name by using these methods you'll need to create a new account. The old, unused account will be automatically removed after certain period of time of inactivity.



When I try to log in I get message: "Invalid password". I'm sure I type it correctly.

If the password is generated by Freebok you should copy and paste it directly from the email application to the password field of the login page. If you write the password by yourself there is a chance that you misspell it. Characters like number 1 and letter l are easily mixed especially if the font of the mail application is small.

If you have changed your password make sure that the CapsLock on the keyboard is not on and that you write the small and capital letters correctly.

One possible reason for the password mismatch is that you remember or write your account name incorrectly! The misspelled account name may exist, so you may not get warning about incorrenct account name, but about the incorrect password.

If you are still unable to log in to your account you can send a new password to yorself ( i ) via email.



Why don't my images show up?

Images will not work if you are trying to get them from a service that don't allow displaying images on a different server than their own. Most, if not all, free web space providers are defined this way. The problem is not with Freebok, but with the image host server! Problems have been reported with at leas the following web space providers:

  • Sunpoint
  • Angelfire
  • Xoom
  • Expage
  • Geocities
  • Brinkster
  • Tripod
  • envy.nu

It is not possible to use images from these services.

Good indication of this case is when the images seem to be occasionally working. It means that the images have been loaded to your browser's cache when you have visited your home page, and when you go to your guestbook the image is fetched from the cache. If the image is not in the browser cache it will not work as it cannot be fetched from the server.
