Frequently Asked Questions

Last Updated: March, 2011

Most of the time your questions can be answered here. If not, please check out the Forums.

  1. Why is MyDrama only for people whom are 13 years of age or older?

    The internet can be a scary place for the lighthearted. Since there is no easy way for us to gauge your maturity level, we must restrict usage to people whom are over the age of 13 since most people have matured enough by this age to be able to make decisions for themselves. If you are under the age of 13, you may only use the site if you have expressed permission from a parent or legal guardian.

  2. I forgot my password, how do I reclaim it?

    To change your password, please go to the Password Reset Form, input your Email address and hit Submit. After you perform any of these actions, you'll need to log in to your email account, open the appropriate email from MyDrama and follow the link in it to complete the process. If you are having trouble doing this, you'll need to contact us for assistance.

  3. Can I change my username?

    Due to the complications it can cause, it's not possible to directly change your username, sorry! If you really want a new username, you would need to delete your current account and create a new one.

  4. Can I deactivate/delete my account?

    Yes. You may delete your account by clicking here and filling out the form.

  5. What do I do if a user is harassing me?

    • If they are bothering you through Private Messages, Forums or in a Chatroom, you should block the user or try to ignore them.
    • If they keep making new accounts to bother you or are bothering you in the main forum sections, you'll need to contact a moderator for help.

  6. How do I block a user from sending me messages?

    You may block a user from sending you Private Messages to your inbox by adding their username to your PM Settings - Block List.

  7. I buddied a user and I don't show up on their friend list but they show up on mine, what happened?

    Sometimes an error like this occurs and the only way to rectify it is to un-buddy the user and then re-buddy them.

  8. It says I have a new message in my inbox when I don't, how do I fix this?

    This error seems to occur when a user receives a lot of messages in their Inbox and/or when deleting a lot of messages. In order to have this fixed, you'll need to contact us and we'll fix it for you if we have time.

  9. What happens if I put my Inbox on vacation and how do I do it?

    Putting your inbox on vacation prevents all users (except for moderators) from messaging you. When a user attempts to message you, they will receive a message saying that you are on vacation as well as a custom message that you typed. To enable this, you'll need to go to your PM Settings page.

  10. What do I need to know before I post on the main forum?

    Before posting in the Main Forum sections, be sure to read and understand our Site/Forum Rules.

  11. Can I make my photo album(s) private?

    Yes, you may change your privacy settings for each individual photo album by doing the following:
    • Go to your Account page
    • Locate the Album that you wish to edit the settings for
    • Click the Edit link to the right of the entry
    • From the Privacy drop-down box, select the proper setting and click "Save"

  12. How do I get access badges?

    Access badges are usually sold in the store.

  13. What are Achievements and how do I get them?

    Achievements are special rewards you can get each month by using certain features of the site. For example, there's the "You complete me" achievement that you get just by editing your profile.

  14. My picture, comment or post was deleted, why?

    Basically anything can be deleted by a moderator if it's deemed to be against the Site/Forum Rules. Though, it's also possible that someone accessed your account and deleted it or you accidentally deleted it by yourself.

  15. What are moderators?

    Moderators or Mods are users that were chosen to help manage the site. They mainly deal with user interactions to ensure that everyone plays along nicely.

  16. Can I be a moderator?

    You are welcome to apply to be a moderator if and when we post an application thread in the Site News section.

  17. How do I get a avatar icon next to my username?

    To have a avatar icon show up next to your username, you would need to buy them from the store. If you already have one, you can equip the avatar icon from your Account Avatar Icon page.

  18. How do I put a banner and background image/color on my page?

    You can add these by going to the My Profile page but, to use this feature, you need to purchase the "Background Enhancement" from the store.

  19. I see people breaking the rules, is there anything I can do about it?

    Almost every user generated page has a "Report" button which you can use to report people for breaking the rules. We encourage this to be done since it can be hard for our moderators to oversee the actions of millions of users.

  20. I cannot edit my signature! Why?

    You must first purchase the "Signature Enhancement" item from the store, then you will be able to edit your signature.

  21. Why do I need to register at all?

    You may not have to -- however, registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, emailing to fellow users, engagement in the forums, etc. It only takes a few minutes to register so it is recommended you do so.
