UPDATE - Answers to some FAQs
- Please clear all your cookies first. Instructions here. This will address over half of the people with login issues.
- the % of PM inbox used is not accurate or applicable now, so ignore it
- we are working on how to be anonymous
- we are still working on bugs so please give us a day or two to handle logout issues, errors, slowness of the site etc.
- Some avatar/profile pics are still migrating. So they will appear soon, but if you want to upload a new one, do it!
- all profile pages are now behind login so that non-logged in people cannot see your profile
- the obama default image: dont get offended if you voted for mccain. when we were building the site, it was an image file we had on hand so we stuck it there as a placeholder. we will update it soon.
**Aug 6th Updates**
1) If you still see the "new soompi.com is right around the corner", then your internet service provider (ISP) is updating their records too slowly. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to help on that. You will just have to wait till your ISP updates their records.
If you had the new site and it is going back to the "new soompi.com is right around the corner", then it is a server issue. We are working on that right now.
2) Everyone should clear their cookies. Instructions on how to clear your cookies can be found here and here.
This will solve 90% of the login issues people are having. So if you had a login issue, please clear your cookies and try again. If it is still a problem, then please resubmit a bug report via our Feedback tab.
3) If you lost your password, you can use the "Forgot Password" link on the upper right-hand navigation on the homepage.
4) If you cannot remember the email address associated with your account, then you must not have read the zillion announcements we've been doing since MARCH 2009 announcing the change here or here or here.
We cannot tell you the email addresses associated with user accounts - that is too big of a security risk - how do we know you are the true owner of that account? how would you feel if we gave away your email address and account access to someone who emailed us and gave us your username? Try to remember your email address to the best of your ability. We will try to think of a more secure way of getting you back into your account, but I do not know what we can do. Too many people were sharing accounts and passwords - we cannot be handing out other members email addresses to anyone who emails and says it is their account.
5) Old Skin - the old skin will not be coming back. I know it takes a while to get used to new things, but please be understanding. It takes a lot of extra time to update each skin as every visual change needs to be updated in each skin. We do not have the resources for that - its only soomp! +1 doing all the coding.
6) New accounts made post launch: If you made a new account post launch, your profile link will send you to someone else's profile page. This is a bug. We are working on it.
