YupNope is a simple opinion service, where members can add a thing and give their opinion, either Yup or Nope.

A thing is just a piece of text describing something you have an opinion on.

Check out the other sections of the F.A.Q. for more info. The Thing F.A.Q. introduces the concept of things and answers basic questions about them. After that, you can read about voting for things and tagging things.

Yup. You can find it here. The Coles Notes version is we value our own privacy and therefore we will value yours.

Fill out our contact form and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

A thing is just a piece of text describing something you have an opinion on.

To add a thing, simply fill in the 'Add A Thing' textbox and click on the vote button corresponding to the vote you wish to make for that thing.

Two reasons. One, we want to be able to show you what you added down the road so you can track the scores of the things you've added. Two, spam. We can't let anyone add something because then anyone _would_ add something and we'd just be a haven for pr0n and warez links. So, just signup and start adding and voting. It actually is quite fun. And we promise we won't do anything stupid with your personal information.

Nope. All our things are unicode, so if you can type it in Russian or Arabic or Chinese or any other language, you are welcome to add your thing.

A thing can be up to 100 characters long.

Yup and Nope. If you're the only one who has voted for the thing, then you will see a trash icon () next to your thing. Click the button and we'll delete the thing for you. Unfortunately, once other people have started voting for the thing, we will be unable to delete it.

The textbox for adding things doubles as a search box. Simply type your search string in the textbox and we'll tell you if a thing similar to that is in the system.

Yup. There are six predefined lists that you can access via the list icon () in the toolbar. Just click on the list you want to look at and we'll load it for you.
You can also go to your own member page and we'll show you a list of recent things you haven't voted for yet.

Yup, there are several ways to get more information about a thing. First, if you mouseover the thing's score box, more information about the thing will appear in a data box below the thing. Secondly, you can click on the text of a thing in the thing list and we'll show you that thing's page which contains more thing data. Finally, you can click on the search icon () to see what kind of info you can find on the net about the thing.

Simply click the refresh icon () to reload the list of things you are currently looking at. If you want YupNope to automatically refresh the list every 2 minutes, turn on auto-refresh by clicking on the auto-refresh icon (). To turn off auto-refresh click on the auto-refresh icon again.

A tag is simply a word which you associate with a thing. Think of it as adding a category to a thing.

Tags allow members to classify the things they add to YupNope and allows other members to filter the things they see by the tags they are interested in.

The current list of tags, can be viewed by clicking on the tag icon () in the toolbar.

In keeping with the simple philosophy of YupNope we decided to limit the tags to a small predefined list.

To tag a thing, simply click and drag the tag icon (, , , , , ) next to the tag you want to use from the list of tags, and drop it on the thing you want to tag. Don't drop the tag until the thing background turns green.

Only the creator of a thing can tag it. This was a concious choice we made to keep things simple and manageable.

Yup. If you added the tag, you can take it away. Just click on the little delete button () next to the tag you want to remove in the thing's data block.

By clicking on a tag link in either the tag popup or the thing data box, the current list is filtered on that tag. This makes it easy to look at just the things you are interested in.

Yup. Simply click on the trash icon () next to the active filter tag in the tool bar.

Yup. A thing can have as many tags as is appropriate. Be warned though, we'll notice if you abuse the tags just to get your thing on more lists and we won't be happy.

Nope.

We wanted YupNope to be as simple as possible and no simpler. Short of not allowing any voting at all (and what would the point of the site be then), we chose to have two options for voting for a thing. Coincidentally, the choices corresponded to the name of the site, which was a nice little bonus.

Yup. Once you are logged in, find the thing you want to change your vote on. Click on your current vote and you'll get the option to change it.

Everyone gets one vote per thing. That's the rule. Therefore, we need to track what your vote is. In order to track it, you have to be logged in. Remember, you can change your vote at any time, but we still need to limit you to one vote at any one time.

Yup. Make sure you are logged in and go to your Change Password page.

Yup and Nope. We can't tell you what your password was, but we can reconfirm your account via the email address you gave us when you signed up. This will allow you to set a new password. Just go to out Reset Password page and follow the instructions there.

Yup. Make sure you are logged in and then go to the Cancel Account page, and hit the big button. Be warned though. All your opinions will be deleted from the system.
