Q-Do I have to sign up to use UCG Singles?
A-No. You can view all pages on the site except the e-list without signing up. That means you can view the Submissions, Bulletin Boards, Q&A, Feast pages, etc. without signing up.

Q-What benefits do I get for signing up?
A-By signing up you are able to view the e-list, which allows you to send blind email messages to people on the list and allows you to view their profiles with any BIOS, Interests or Photo they have posted. In addition, your name is placed on the e-list allowing others to email you and view any items you have posted.

Q-How do I sign up?
A-To sign up, click on "Register" on the menu system. Choose a login ID and password, and fill in the fields on the form, including your email address. Required fields are marked. Dropdown lists are provided for Country, Age Category (Young Singles, Singles in the Middle, or Silver Singles), and FOT site plans. Checkboxes are provided for email options. Spaces are provided for a Bio, Interests, Birth Date (it will not be displayed anyone on the site) and Photo. Once you have finished, click the Submit button.
You will be sent a verification email within the next 24 hours. It is REQUIRED that you click the link in the verification email address to be accepted on the site. Once the system recognizes that you have responded by clicking the link, you will be placed on the e-list and given access to it.

Q-How do I enter (or update) my Bio, Age, Interests, or Photo?
A-These are all done on the Registration page. If you did not fill these in when you registered, or if you later want to change something in one of these areas, use the Update Registration page. Click here or point at Registration on the menu system and click on "Update".
NOTE: Be careful not to accidently click the "Delete Registration" button or you will have to register all over again!!

Q-Can I share an email address with someone else?
A-No. The system is designed to refuse duplicate email addresses. If you don't currently have an email address, there are several providers of free email--usually a Web mail account--such as Yahoo, Netzero, Hotmail, etc.

Q-How can I view the BIOS of others?
A-All BIOS of others are accessed from the Elist. As the explanation at the top of the Elist says, "If the user's name is a hyperlink (blue, underlined text instead of black) you may click on their name to view their personal profile." That's their BIO info. :)

Q-What if I signed up, created a profile, but can't log into the e-list? What's wrong?
A-There could be several things keeping you from logging into the e-list.
1-You might not have responded to the verification email. (Check the Registration Help page. Click here or point at Help and click on "Register Help".)
2-Your computer might be blocking cookies, which the site uses only to verify that you are the one using your email address. (Check the Cookie Help page. Click here or point at Help and click on "Cookie Help".
3-You may not be typing your login and/or password exactly as you set it up. They are both case sensitive. (Check the Login Help page. Click here or point at Help and click on "Login Help".)

Q-What if I have forgotten my login ID and/or password?
A-The system can automatically send you both your login and password. Click here or click on the menu option to go to the e-list. Type your login ID into the User Name field and click the "Lost Password?" button. (If you have forgotten your login ID as well, just put the email address you registered with in the User Name field and click the "Lost Password?" button.) You should then get a screen that says your login name and password are being emailed to you, and it should arrive in a few minutes.

Q-What if I need (or want) to change my profile--such as my email address, login ID or Password. How can I do that?
A-The process is the same as updating your Bio, Age, Interests or Photo--through the Update Registration page. Click here or point at Registration on the menu system and click on "Update". The only difference is that if the email address is changed, you will once again be sent a verification email (for the new address) and you MUST click the link in that new message to go to the site. You will not be allowed back on the e-list unless you verify the new email address.
NOTE: Be careful not to accidently click the "Delete Registration" button or you will have to register all over again!!

Q-How do I unsubscribe from the site (and the e-list)?
A-This is done through the Update Registration page by logging in and then clicking the "Delete Registration" button on the bottom. Click here or point at Registration on the menu system and click on "Update".
