Login

I created a login, but I don’t remember which email address I used.

You can try to login using your different addresses, or you can request to have your password reset. You will not be able to request a password for an email address you did not already use; the WhatFriendsDo system will only recognize email addresses that have already been registered.

My password does not work or I forgot my password

You can reset your password on the login page by clicking on “Forgot your password?”. We will send you an email with a temporary password. After you login with the temporary password, you can change it by going to "My Account" (found in upper right hand corner of the home page) and selecting “change password.”

I didn’t change my password but it’s not working.

If you created a WhatFriendsDo account before November 16, 2015, you will need to set a new password. To do this, click on "Forgot your Password?" and enter the email you used to create your WhatFriendsDo account. You will then receive an email with instructions for how to reset your password.

I don’t know the password for the team I want to join

The team organizer sets the password for the team; please contact the organizer for assistance.

How do I edit my personal account information?

Go to your name in the upper right corner of the page, click on it and select “My Account.” You can edit all of your information here.

Team Page

Some of my information is missing.

We made significant upgrades to our website as of November 16, 2015. We took extreme caution to ensure all team information was transferred to the upgraded site. If you feel you are missing blog posts, photos or other information, please contact us at info@whatfriendsdo.com, and we will personally work with you to address your concerns.

How do I join a team?

If the team is not password protected or invitation only, you can select “Find a team” from the WhatFriendsDo home page and search for the team by your friend’s first name, last name or team name, if you know it. Select the team you want from the search results and click “join this team” once you get to the team page.

How do I share the team with others?

Only team organizers can share the team with others. Select “Share this team”

  • If your team is not password protected, you can copy the link and paste it anywhere you choose (on Facebook or other social media, in a personal email etc.).
  • You can share directly on social media from the “Share this team” page.
  • You can share directly via email from the “Share this team” page by entering emails and separating multiple addresses by a comma.
  • If your team is password protected, you can share the team by email and the team password will be included in the email. If you share the team link or share via social media, you will need to provide the team page password along with the link.

Why can’t I see the calendar or blog on my friend’s team page?

You must be a team member to view these areas. Select “join the team” on the team page.

How do I change the photos on my team page?

Only team organizers can add photos that will appear on team page.

  • The team cover photo (background) and avatar (team photo) can both be changed.

How can I post a blog entry?

Only team organizers can post blog entries. Team members can post replies/comments to blog entries. If you are not an organizer, you can contact your team Organizer and ask him/her to post the blog entry.

My team is no longer active, but I would still like to keep my login with WhatFriendsDo.

You do not need to do anything. Your login will remain active.

How do I upload photos?

Only team organizers can add photos to a gallery.

  • Go to Photos & Videos on your team home page.

When I add a photo to the blog, it shows up really big.

We are working to make this easier. The best way to fix this now is to right click on the image, select “image” and reset the width or height of the image.

  • For portrait photos, reset the width to 350

Calendar

I signed up to take food (or help with any task) but now cannot do it on that date.

Go to the Calendar for your team. Select the task you signed up to do and then click on the red “Opt Out” button. The task will be active on the calendar for someone else to sign up. If the task is happening in the very near future, you may want to contact the organizer and let them know you can no longer do the task so they can make other arrangements, if necessary. You may now go back onto the Calendar and select a new day to help.
