If you have a problem with your Yuwie profile, or are locked out or have issues that can not be addressed by fellow members, then you may need to submit a Help Support Ticket.
If you click the Yuwie Help Link on the main menu, you will come to the FAQ window page. If you click on any question, at the bottom of the page is the link to submit your help request. I have asked Y-guy to make that Link appear on the top of the Help Section so it is easier to find, but in the mean time that's where it is.
Or You can just go directly there by hitting this link:

Those that qualified for the payout threshold have started to receive their Paypal payments and checks.
Remember the new payout threshold is $25.00 and is 60 days net. So those that reached the limit in August are receiving their checks this week.
60 Day Net - Money made- Checks Received August = October Sept = Decemeber October = January November = February
If you got you check or A paypal payment and want to tell everyone else, leave a comment here. If you make a scan or a screenprint post that info as well.
When you are trying to Log in? It is a Yuwie Server Error. Nothing to be concerned about, It is not Phishing your Account. If you entered your password and Email address by mistake, don't fear ( if you were on the Https Login screen to Yuwie).
General Rule of thumb however is not to enter your information into something you are not aware. Just close the Box, or the Browser window and try again.
The error you see above is a Sever related problem within Yuwie when You attempt to Login...Not someone trying to steal your info. But always err on the side of Caution. Just clearing some things up :)
It is smart to change your password at least every once in awhile, run scans on your computer and all the normal internet security firewall updates and anti-virus updates.
Just be smart about what you are doing. One other tip, if at all possible never click on a LINK in an email unless you know the source, go to the website itself if you know it. If you know the sender it should be ok. Never Click on an Email Link from a BANK or Personal Credit Card account. Always go straight to the website itself, and Look in the Browser window that the URL is from the Bank itself and the Verisign is Accurate. Before putting in your login and password.
Those of you who are using Moxilla Firefox as your Browser, can speed it up with a few quick configuration changes. It will speed up all your browsing and surfing. I tested it and it works.
Here is a Video to show you how:
You need Firefox to make this work. Message me if you don't have it and want to now who to get it.
This
is probably going to make some of you angry, but I assure you that this
is the best decision for the overall health of the site.
Starting
later today, guest page views will not count as paid page views. In
order for a paid page view to be counted, the user has to be logged in.
Why
are we doing this? Cheaters are driving the RSR down. You have all seen
the notices, and blog entries for services that guarantee tons of
traffic to your profile overnight. All these traffic exchanges,
automated programs, and auto-surfing scr i pts are inflating page views,
and that makes the RSR lower for legitimate users. Since all this
traffic is from random non-Yuwie members, the easiest way to stop this
is to not count guest views. We know this will affect some legitimate
traffic to the site, and we apologize for that.
Again, in order
for any page view to be counted, the viewer has to be logged in. Thanks
for your patience. If you have any questions, please contact us through
the help area
Seems to be quite a controversy among some about adding friends, and using those ADDER PROGRAMS. So let's break it down in to Simple explanation and terms.
Yuwie has set up this site, allows you to have friends, certain elements of Yuwie functionality are credited pageviews. Every function of Yuwie has advertisement that directly or indirectly produces revenue for the site, that in turn we share a % of the profits.
The Proper way to add a friend, based upon the functionality of Yuwie to to find that persons profile, and click the ADD ME Button. You can find Friends via Yuwies system by using the SEARCH or BROWSE or HOME button on the top menu bar of each yuwie page. ( If it hasn't been obscured it with a pimped profile). You can also find friends from Viewing the pages of your other friends. Simple.
Now lets look at this functionality. When I use the HOME/SEARCH/BROWSE features to find a friend, I am generating an Advertisement opportunity. Yuwie uses Google and Adbrite. The google ads I would have to click on to generate revenue, BUT and the GIANT But here is that Abrite has CPM or Banners that are paid by the amount of times they are shown. Do you understand that? Each time the Adbrite banner CPM is shown Yuwie earns money that is paid out to us. Re-read that if it's not clear!
So as I hit a search I see a Abrite Banner, ( plus 1 add credit for Yuwie)
I put in my criteria for search and get results (plus 1 add credit for Yuwie).
I see a persons Picture, I click on it (plus 1 add credit for Yuwie - Plus one Pageview Credit for Profile I go to).
I find the ADD ME Button I click it. That takes me to the My Control Panel (plus 1 add credit for Yuwie - Plus one Pageview Credit for Me).
I add my note, and click send. Then my Control panel comes up again ( plus 1 add credit for Yuwie - Plus one Pageview Credit for Me)
So My doing this the Proper Way, I am generating a minimum of 5 advertisement opportunities for Yuwie, 1 pageview for the potential friend and 2 pageviews for myself.
All those Friends Adder Programs, and Paid Friends Adder Programs - Take you directly to the Your Control Panel to click send friend request. Losing Yuwie and the Community 4 pageviews of Advertisement opportunity. And the pageview Credit to the person you want to add. Some Friend :)
If I find friends from an existing friends profile, I am still generating some advertisement credits and pageviews for my friend.
If tons of people circumvents the system and uses the Friend Adder Programs those 4 pageviews a POP add up. They add up Quick.
Notice the RSR has dropped from Last month? Is it a Direct correlation? Could be? Not for me to say because I am not privy to that data.
Thankfully Y-guy has made code changes to stop some of the adder programs, but new ones will come up again.
People will be asked to recruit that program, spam the message boards about a new way to add friends, but Hopefully By Now, some of you can educate them on way it is a Bad thing, why it is hurting the community as a whole, and Why they should use Yuwie as it is set up and intended.
So Go make a Friend today, but do it in the Yuwie Way it was intended

After all the Friends Adder Crap - It was Time to Take action. Here is the Public Response from Y-guy.
"We
put an end to it. None of their links work now. To add a friend, you
have to click the link from that person's profile page. :) That should
stop it.- Y-Guy"
See part of the discussion Below
The Clone of Paid Yuwie Friend Adders Have Arrived
Since
the EMo Scam has be allowed to operate, a rash of Yuwie Friends Adders
have appeared as well as outside .com sites using the Yuwie name for
the purpose of Adding Friends.
Some asking for Paid
subscr i ptions, Others Just lists, but all these Outside of Yuwie sites
are springing up to attempt to make money Off of Yuwie members with the
false hope that adding friends leads to pageview profits. Some are not
paid offers but still...
1000 pageviews = what about 0.05
So
what's the Hype about adding friends, do they think adding a friend
will increase their overall pageviews to mass profits? Like what maybe
10 more pageviews a month per friend added if they are lucky?
So adding millions of friends will make you money?
What
about adding one more Referral to your downline that are active, Will
make a hell of a lot more Earned Pageviews for you than any Friend
Adder Program..
Do people not understand the System of Yuwie and
are being told Adding Friends will make them rich? Do they not
understand that it is Refferal "friend" that will lead them to their
income success?
Is it a lack of understanding? Is it a Lack of
knowing how to recruit? is it the Hype from Spamming Notice Boards with
add my friend, that makes people think that is the road to yuwie
Success?
What do you guys think? Is education needed across the Board. Does Y-guy need to post a blog about Friends Vs Referral?
I just don't seem to understand the Rash of Friends Adding program Mentality.
Clue me In Friend Adders..what's the overall Benefit? besides
a crowed house, overactive spam notice board, comments not generating
you pageviews, and more graphic HTML comments, etc. that are not
generated from a pageview from your site, rather from theirs.
I
totally agree, Eric. I think people just want some friends but are
scammed into joining and (hopefully not) paying for these friends. I
think these poor people are duped into thinking they will make more
money.
Not to mention the friends they will LOSE from spamming the Notice Board...
We
put an end to it. None of their links work now. To add a friend, you
have to click the link from that person's profile page. :) That should
stop it.
Friend
adder sites do nothing but take away traffic from Yuwie. The owners of
these site don't care about making it easier to get friends, or helping
'newbies'. All they care about is making money for themselves. That's
why their sites are covered with ads. Thats why they MAKE everyone post
a notice before they will add them to their site...because they want
more traffic on their own site. Thats also why several of the sites
added a 'vip' service (for a fee). So don't act like you started these
sites to help people. Its just not true.
If you notice, the friend adder clubs still work. So if all you're interested in is helping people, do it form there.
It's easy to b***h and moan about stuff, but it's always a tad bit harder to put your money where your mouth is.
I have reported several Users to Y-guy for TOS violations. I have also Removed them as friends and am Blocking them. I will no longer receive their notices and don't need them as friends.
If you don't want to play by the rules, I will report you. I will remove you as a friend and block you.
Go ahead abuse the system if you want, but if more people take a stand, Report, Remove and BLOCK, I think people will take notice.
It's my Profile, It's My Blog, It's My Decision.
Go ahead and Block Me and Remove me as a Friend if you don't like what I have to Say. It's your Right, It's Your Decision.
Enough is enough. I have seen tons of Friends trains, Yuwie Adders and other Yuwie related websites that are attempting to get you to Pay them to help you add friends. Don't be Fooled or Stupid.
These Friends programs will not lead you to Yuwie Success. Havening tons on friends does not equate to Yuwie Pageview success. Just because you have 100's or 1000's of friends doesn't equal page views. Why pay for Friends to add, when you can do it yourself easily. Also if you are looking for success, Recruit. Plain and simple.
Here is an example: Dan spends all day adding friends, He joins Adder programs, Trains, spams the Notice Board, get's his Friends count up to over 2500 friends. Wow one would say that's great. But time for the reality check. His initial friends requests and friends total my give him an initial burst of pageviews. Lets say he gets 5000 more pageviews this month for his hard work of Adding Friends. 5000 pageviews turns into about 0.05 cents. Good Job Dan..Was it worth it? Did you spend money for a Train or Adder program? Looks like you are way int he hole there. Next month those 5000 pageviews are even less, because not all those new 2500 friends are going to give you credited pageviews. So your .05 cents earning are even worse.
Now look at Debbie, Debbie only has 250 friends, but spends her time working on referrals, and working with the referrals she has. Debbie only adds 2 new personal referrals to her downline that same month. Those two new referral members are active and give Debbie 2500 page views each. So Dan and Debbie made the same amount of money right? But lets look as the next month goes. Debbie continue to recruit and gets 2 more referals, and Debbie's referrals each get one more referral. These referrals are active and now Debbie has 4 in level 1 and 2 in level 2 and each one brings in the same 2500 pageviews. Dan is struggling making friends trying to reach Yuwie Success. Debbie is working the system and getting valuable downline active members giving her pageviews. Debbie is working the system of multiplication.
Who is better off? Debbie she is putting in her time, effort and maybe even some of her own money to recruit people. Dan is making friends and spending money on basically scam Friends adder programs. Short and Long Term Success will still be in Debbies Pocket, where Doug is now spend money on Friends Adders that keep him in the hole and not profiting from the system we know as Yuwie.
Work smart, Don't be a Dan, Don't be fooled into thinking adding friends will lead you to Long term Yuwie Success or Yuwie Money. The system is set up to pay you Based upon pageviews and pageviews from your referrals up to 10 levels deep. The 10th level is where 30% payout occurs and where the pageviews and money is really exciting.
Don't believe me? Check out Vic or Oldbuddy or some others that have reached level ten and look at their Payouts. It didn't come from adding friends, but came from recruiting and working with their downlines
Advertising
rates are TERRIBLE this month. If it keeps going like it is, we're
going to be looking at around a 20 cent RSR for October.
We're
trying to do everything we can to get better advertisers, but it all
comes down to you guys. If an advertiser has a successful campaign on
Yuwie, they will advertise more. So, SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS.
By this we mean pay attention to the ads, if there is an ad that you're
interested in, click it and see what they have to offer. Please don't
click for no reason, because this will cause us to loose advertisers
all together, but if you're interested, check them out.
We know everyone hates them, but in an effort to increase October revenue, we're adding pop-unders to the type of ads you'll see on Yuwie. You will only see 1 per 24 hour period. We hate them as much as you guys, but they pay 4-5 times more than banner ads.
