18. I requested a new password, but it was never sent to me.

When you use the "forgot password?" feature, our system automatically generates a new, random password for you and sends it to the e-mail address you specified. Because this is an automated process, some e-mail providers view this as spam or junk mail. Some e-mail providers classify these e-mails as spam, junk or bulk e-mail.

If you requested a password and did not receive it, please check your "spam," "junk" or bulk folders for an e-mail from helpcenter@belointeractive.com . The subject line is "Your new password." If you do not find an e-mail from us, please contact our customer service center at helpcenter@belointeractive.com , because the e-mail may have been automatically deleted.


19. I am a member, so why am I being asked to signup again?

One reason you may be asked to signup again is that the cookies we use to recognize members may have been deleted or may have expired. You do not need to go through the entire membership process; you only need to sign in again.

To sign in, look for the shadowed box with the title "Already a member?" located on the right-hand side of the membership form. Enter your username and password, click on 'Go' and you will automatically be taken back to the original page you were reading. You now have access to the entire site. For more information on cookies, please click here .

Another reason you may be asked to complete the signup process again is for a contest or SMS but this should only occur once.
