PimpSleds.com FAQ

 

 

1. How do I get my picture onto the site?

You can upload a picture directly from your computer. Do not send us photos via email asking us to post it for you.



2. The system won't take my picture! How do I get it to work?

First, make sure that your picture is under 2MB. If you are still having problems, please drop us an email at support@pimpsleds.com.

If you have disabled your browser from accepting cookies, you need to enable cookies.


3. When I try to submit a picture, I get a "Page not found" or "Server not found" error. What's wrong?

This probably means that your picture is taking too long to upload. Your file might be too big. You should make your file smaller.


4 .Why wasn't my picture approved?

The moderators decide which pictures are accepted into the system, not us. The criteria listed are merely guidelines. A common reason for a normal picture not being approved is that the picture does not contain anything related to snowmobiling, has nudity, or has some sort of spam advertising on it.

Another common cause is your personal introduction; it may not contain anything lewd or any type of contact information (e.g. email address, webpage URL, ICQ, AIM screen name, Messenger, etc.)


6.  Every time I log in and do anything, the system asks me to log in again! How do I get out of this infinite loop?

It's possible your cookie file may be corrupted somehow. You can reset it by deleting it:

  1. Close all of your browser windows.
  2. In your start menu, select the Search/find file function
  3. Look for "pimpsleds" within your windows directory (probably c:\windows\). Make sure it searches in subfolders too.
  4. Delete the file it finds.
  5. Restart your browser





7. I know my friends have voted on my picture already, but I don't see any votes when I log in to check my score! What's going on?

Votes are not tabulated instantly, they are counted every so often as system load permits. Check your picture rating again later.


8. Why can't I put my email address or website URL on my picture?

When we allowed people to do this, some unscrupulous porn sites started doing it too in hopes of roping in unsuspecting users onto their SPAM email lists. You wouldn't want that, would you? Neither would we.


9. My friend put his/her picture on the site. Is there any way I can find it without looking through pictures randomly?

Right now, the only way to go directly to a picture is by its direct link, which your friend can give to you. (they can find their direct link by logging in and looking in the "Your rating" section).

10. I lost my username/password, or my username and password don't work. Can you help?

Our usernames and passwords are case sensitive, so you might want to try typing in ALL CAPS. Users who have a verified email address can click on the "Forgot Your Password" link at the bottom of the login box.


11. I know that my picture was approved by a moderator but I do not see it listed on the site.

Once your picture has been approved by a moderator it may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the photo to appear on the site. Please be patient.



12. I want to report an inappropriate picture (celebrity, porn, etc.)

That's easy. Just click "back" to go back to the offending picture. Find the link under the picture that says "Report This", click and report. Pictures that are reported by enough PimpSleds.com get delisted and re-evaluated by our customer support representatives


13. Can I take my picture off the system?

Yes, once you are logged in, you can take yourself out of the photo rating pool by going to the "Your Photos" section. There will be an option there to take yourself out of rating. You can take yourself out of the meeting site by going to the "Edit Profile" section. There will be an option there to take yourself out of Meet Me. If you don't see this option, your picture was not approved and is not currently being shown in the Meet Me section.

To remove your photo from the system, click on the "Your Photos" link, and then click the button under your photo. If the picture does not appear to go away, hit refresh/reload on your browser.


14. Can I be a moderator?

Yes, just visit the moderator application section. Please note, NOT all people that apply for moderation will be granted moderator status.


15. How can I contact you?

If you have a question regarding any part of the website, please make sure to read through this FAQ. Many questions can be answered here! If your question still goes unanswered, don't hesitate to email us at: support@pimpsleds.com. Please include your PimpSleds.com username if you have one!


16. How do I change the email address associated with my account?

Log in and go to the edit account setings menu. You can change it there.


17. Why am I not receiving the confirmation email?

Make sure your email program or website doesn't have any sort of email filtering enabled and that you're allowing emails from support@pimpsleds.com.


18. Why does the link in the confirmation email not work (usually from AOL users)?
