Why is my message limit reached?

Standard members

can only send two messages per 24h. Flirt messages count as normal messages. If your status changes from premium member to standard member, it takes  24 hours to reset the 24-hour-rhythm. During this time your message limit is exceeded if you have sent any messages as premium member during the last 24 hours.

Safer surfing - how do I get Mozilla Firefox?

The Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is very popular but not very secure and stable. In particular older versions make troubles displaying websites correctly.

So we recommend using Mozillas Firefox.


Advantages of Firefox:

> Free software, rus on any operating systems.
> Firefox is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer.
> new Versions and updates react quickly to new security issues.
> many free addons like phishing filters, download managers, PDF tools, FTP tools, password managers, website preview tools, and plug-in  music player...

If you want to use Firefox instead of IE, go to the download pages of Mozilla.

 

On company computers you may not be allowed to install Firefox. Ask your administrator, he should be wise enough to allow the installation and might even assist you.

Why does the system not recognize my postal code?

Our postal code database is very voluminous. Yet not every place in Germany is covered. It may also occur in foreign countries that there are no comparable postal codes or there is no according data available to us.


Problems often occur in large cities like Berlin where the postal codes range from 10001 to 14199. Please just enter a similar postal code in you basic information and safe it once. The system will then tell you whether or not  it can assign a postal code.

Why do I not receive an email although I have requested my password?

1) Some users have a mailbox with a so-called webamiler (e.b. web.de,m yahoo, hotmail, gmx, etc.). There the inbox could be full. Please keep in mind that retrieving your mail through Outlook, Thunderbird or similar programs does not necessarily empty your mailbox with the webmailer!

2) The message could mistakingly have been labelled "unwished". Please check your folder for unwished meil regularly (these folders are also called "Junk" or "SPAM").

3) Perhaps you have filed a different email address with nak-singles.eu than the one you are checking. Especially when using several email addresses at the same time it is easy to get confused nowadays.

4) If there still shouldn't be any email please request your password anew and contact the administrator in case of further failure.

Why does a system message tell me my session had expired directly after log-in? What can I do?


This messages comes as a result of an improper browser setting. In the following we will describe how to change these settings for the Internet Explorer as an example.


- Extras Internet Options General
- In the middle of the window open "temporary internet files" - check "with every access to the site" under "settings"
- confirm with "OK"
- confirm with "OK" again in the next window

With other search engines this change of settings can be done through very similar menu items

Why do some buttons/functions not work even though I am a premium user?

After logging-in the buttons "Search" and "My Account" for example do not react and stay grey
-> You might have Javascript deactivated in your browser.

This is how you change it for the Internet Explorer:
Extras -> Internet Options -> Security -> Adjust level -> Scripting -> Activate Active Scripting

...and for Mozilla FireFox:
Extras -> Settings -> Content -> Check Activate Javascript

The settings of other browser can be changed in a similar manner

2) enter your email address
3) a new password will be sent to that email address

How can I repair my "List of questions"?

In some of our members "List of questions" pages seem to exist multiple entries. Also the order of questions is not right all the time. To repair this, you have to copy and paste all your answers into a text editor on your pc, empty all question fields totally then save the "List of questions" page. Repeat emptying and saving until there are no answers left and the counters of all text fields show "320 characters left". Then fill in your right answers again. As with all online text fields, you must avoid copy-pasting texts from MS Word or other text editing software! It´s better to always paste it into a plain text editor first to remove all formatting. For assistance please contact our technical service.
