| Q8: |
At what time will I recieve my reminders? |
| A8: |
E-mail reminders are typically sent between the hours of 1:00 am and 3:00 am (PST). By sending your reminders early, they will be ready and waiting when you wake up and check your e-mail.
Cell phone reminders are sent at 7:00 am (PST). By the end of this year we plan to allow our users to specify when they would like to receive their cell phone
reminders. |

| Q9: |
I want a Holiday that you don't have listed, can I add my own? |

Yes, you can create your own custom holiday by first clicking the "Holiday" button on the "My Reminders" page and then the "Create Custom Holiday" button and complete the necessary information. |
| |
| Q10: |
Is it possible to include one time events such as Dr. appointments, birthday parties, and charity events? |
| A10: |
You can! Although Birthday-Reminders.com was designed specifically for reoccurring occasions like holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. we have added the functionality for you to add additional events and daily appointments. This can be done using the "Add Other Reminders" button and then the "Create Custom Reminders" button. Again, because our main focus is on reoccurring occasions we are not including a time feature for appointments so you should put that in the event description field, ie: Dentist Apt 9am |
| |
| Q11: |
I'm using Windows XP. Some of your windows like the message box look very funny? |

This is a problem that is usually caused by a lack of memory on the users computer. The best solution would be to close any open browsers or other applications that are not in use. |
