Login & Signup Issues
Why can't I log in?
There could be a number of reasons for a failed login attempt. Firstly do you have an account? I know it sounds daft, but this site does remove accounts that have not been active within the last three (3) months. If you have registered and still cannot login then please check you are entering the correct username and password for your account. If you still have issues then it is possible that your web browser or firewall does not accept the cookies, In which case please refer to your web browser or firewall documentation and make sure they accept cookies.
Why can't I log out?
Have you clicked logout? Seriously you will not be logged out of the site just by closing your browser or shutting down your computer, you must click logout. If you click logout but receive an error about your web browser or firewall not allowing the site to destroy it's cookies then please consult your web browser or firewall documentation and make sure they accept cookies.
I've registered in the past and can't login?
It sounds like your account has been deleted due to inactivity. All accounts that are inactive for a period of three (3) months are removed. You will have to sign up again and be more active this time!
I've lost my password or username, am I doomed?
Nope, just go to the login page and fill in either of the forms at the bottom of the page to find out your username or reset your password. Follow the simple instructions and you should be able to login in no time.
User Profile & Account Issues
Can I change my username?
Sorry but you cant, it would make it very difficult for other users to keep a track of you on the website and so will never be a feature of GoneGothic.com.
How do I edit my profile?
You can edit your profile by navigating to the "Profile" => "Update Profile" page using the menu at the top of the page.
How do I put pictures on my pofile or delete them?
Navigate to the "Gallery" => "Update Gallery" page and follow the steps to upload or delete a picture.
My profile looks wrong?
This is ususally due to puting stupid things in your profile such as questionnaires etc... The best way to resolve the problem is to remove all the code from your profile and start over. If this isnt the problem please inform an admin.
How do I stop music playing in other members profiles?
You must have a premium account to do this. Go to "Premium" => "Premium Extras" then select "Yes" next to "Remove sounds and flash from profiles?".
All the times on the site appear to be wrong?
The default time zone for the site is Greenwich Meantime (GMT). There is an option on the "Account" => "Edit Settings" to change the the times to fit into your time zone, but keep in mind that GMT is covered by daylight savings and you may need to set the time zone back or forth an hour every year unless you live in an area covered by GMT.
How do I delete my account?
Follow the instructions on the "Account" => "Delete Account" page.
Issues Of Abusive, Offensive Or Illegal Actions
Someone is annoying me by leaving me nasty comments
You have a "Block User" button, so use it. Do not come to admin members asking them to ban a person because they left you a nasty comment.
Someone stole my picture and is using it on their profile, delete them!
First you must "salute" by taking a clear picture of yourself holding a piece of paper with "@ gonegothic.com" written on it, post this picture in your profile and contact an admin.
My account has been hacked.
GoneGothic is very secure so it is more likely that you have left your computer unnatended without first logging out. Always remember to log out of your account!
Someone is posting copywritten, offensive, nude images on their profile.
Please report this user to an admin as quickly as possible.
