If something is urgent or dangerous, email us too — and contact local emergency services if anyone is at risk.

Common questions

Why can't I see the board? The board unlocks when you post. Say you're bored, and you'll see who else is. Each post keeps the board open for 1 hour; when that's up, post again to get back in. At the bottom of the board, "earlier today" shows posts from people you follow whose time on the board is up, since midnight where you are (never more than 24 hours back).

Why don't I see my friend? You only see people you follow, and follow requests have to be accepted.

I lost my phone / reinstalled. Log in with your handle and password, or with Apple or Google if you linked one. Forgot the password? If you added a recovery email, use "forgot password" on the log-in screen to get a reset code. An account with no password, no Apple or Google link and no email can't be recovered, so set one of them in Settings.
