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 screenname, Messenger, etc.)

If you don't know why your profile was not approved and would like to ask why, click here. If you're convinced your picture should have made it through, you can try resubmitting it.

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

If someone wants to be contacted, they will join the meeting system. After you rate a picture, if that person is in the meeting system a "meet me" link will appear near there photo. Say "yes" to meet them, and if they say "yes" back, you will be able to communication with them.

Many standard scoring systems use normalization techniques, including the Olympics and the tests people take to get into college in the US. We still give you the chart, which represents raw data, just for fun.

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.

This means you can not just join the system and expect matches to roll in. If you want matches, you need to actively participate and click yes/no to other people. If you don't participate, you will get no matches.

You never know if the next person you look at has already said "Yes" to you, so it pays to be active!

It is unnecessary to vote Yes multiple times to the same person. Doing so has no effect.

This way, users always maintain control over who gets to contact them, and how. It also prevents unethical website operators from using our system to rake email addresses to put you on their junk email lists.

Unlike giving out a phone number or email address, you can take back a match!

A. Make sure your photo(s) are great! HOT or NOT is all about great photos. If your photos are dark, murky, out of focus, overexposed, or if you look like you just had a car wreck or just crawled out of a cave, they are probably not going to get you many YES votes. Post as many great looking photos as you can. You can also keep posting new photos in rate and make the one that gets the highest rating your Meet photo.

B. Make sure your profile is interesting and meaningful. Short profiles that just say "hi" don't give people much reason to believe they'd want to meet you. The profile is your opportunity to differentiate yourself and make you stand out in the crowd.

C. Come back to the system and vote yes/no on other people often. Since matches are made only in cases where both parties say "Yes", this can help a lot!

D. Give it some time. There are people out there who only access the Internet once a week.

1. Click on the following link:https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_subscr-find&alias=hotornot411@yahoo.com
2. Login to your PayPal account
3. If (and only if) you have multiple subscriptions, click on where it says "Active" next to the one you want to cancel. If you only have one subscription, skip to the next step.
4. At the bottom of the page, there will be a button to "Cancel Subscription"
5. On the next page, hit "Cancel Subscription" again to complete the cancellation

1. Go to the 'Membership Info' section on your dashboard.
2. Click the button "Billing Settings".
3. Click the link "to stop automatic renewal, follows these "instructions".
4. Send us some quick feedback, then verify that you wish to cancel your membership by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.

Voila! So simple...

CANCELLING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL NOT CANCEL THE EXISTING PERIOD YOU'VE ALREADY PAID FOR. It merely cancels future automatic renewals. If you have any problems with billing, feel free to send us an email. And don't worry, we're honest people! :)

If you made two payments, your account will have both already credited to it. You can see how much credit you have by logging in and clicking on the "membership info" menu selection.

But... you should go to paypal and cancel both autorenewing subscriptions(see instructions above) so it doesn't autorenew next month. You can sign on again (just once! :) ) after the 2 months are up.

It may be that your transaction never went through. if you log in to paypal, you should be able to see whether it did or not. If it did, you should have received a payment receipt from them via email, and should forward that to me at the address listed in that email.

If you don't see it there, then log back in to hotornot, click on membership info, click on upgrade, select the membership you want and hit the "pay" button, then when you get to the payment form, you should be able to log on with your paypal account (you might need to hit a button where it says "Already have a PayPal account? login now" if it doesn't already recognize you)

Log in to Paypal and make sure your credit card info is correct (Profile->Credit Card) or that you have sufficient funds in the account, then wait for the next payment attempt.

If you can't wait, you can try cancelling your existing subscription, and then re-sigining up.

If you didn't use PayPal (if you entered your credit card info directly):

The most likely reason is that your credit card information is not valid. The best solution is to verify your billing information:

1. Go to the 'Membership Info' section of the HOT or NOT user menu (there's a link at the bottom of this page)
2. Click the button to 'View payment history' (If you don't see the payment history button, you need to follow the above instructures for PayPal users)
3. Click the link to view/change your credit card information.
