Friendship Bracelet Exchange F.A.Q.

– Why am I not receiving any friendship bracelets?

To receive friendship bracelets from other users you should first send at least one friendship bracelet. The more bracelets you send, the more chances are that your address will be displayed to another sender.

Moreover, please check if the bracelet exchange feature is activated in your account (‘Settings’ – ‘Address’ – ‘I wish to participate in the bracelet exchange’). It may be automatically deactivated if you haven’t visited the site for a week.

It may be also possible that your address has been blocked because of other users’ complaints. To check if it’s true, visit your ‘Profile’ page and make sure there are no notifications about it at the top of the page.

– What if I won’t be able to participate in the bracelet exchange for some time?

Untick the ‘I wish to participate in the bracelet exchange’ option on the ‘Settings’ – ‘Address’ page. Thus your address will be unavailable for other users. You can activate it again anytime.

– How can I exchange bracelets with the whole world?

On the ‘Settings’ – ‘Address’ page select the ‘Worldwide exchange’ option and write your address in latin letters in the field so other users could understand and write your address correctly.

Tutorial Creating F.A.Q.

– How can I get updates for the tutorials I reviewed?

You can subscribe for updates on the tutorial’s page. On the ‘Settings’ – ‘Profile’ page you can also activate this feature for all the tutorials you’ve reviewed, complained on or approved.

A tutorial URL code is part of the link to a tutorial which contains only its transliterated version. Here’s an example. The URL code is in bold letters:

– How can I unblock my interlocutor?

If you see asterisks instead of your username it means that multiple users have complained on your username being inappropriate (containing vulgar words, for instance).
