How to I set up my account?

It takes less than a minute to create your account. Pick a Shaycom ID and a password. Enter your email address. And answer a security question in case you ever forget your password and need it sent to you. Make sure you read the Privacy Policy, which explains what we do to protect your personal information, and the Terms of Service, which explains what you can and cannot do on Gozoof. If you agree to them, your account is ready for use!

What's a Shaycom ID?

The Shaycom ID is a unique name that you use to identify yourself on Gozoof. It can be any combination of letters, numbers and underscores. It does not have to be your real name although you can choose to use your real name as your User ID. Please note however that once you set up your User ID it cannot be changed.

Do I have to show my real name? Or where I live?

No, Gozoof does not require that you disclose your real name or where you live. However, if you wish to include that information, you may do so on your profile by going to your "Account" page and making the changes there. In that case, all your Gozoof entries will show your real name rather than your User ID. You may remove your real name and location at any time. However, you may not change your User ID (so please choose your User ID name carefully).

What can I use as my Shaycom ID?

You may use any combination of letters, numbers and underscores. And you may not use the words "Shaycom" or "Gozoof" in your Shaycom ID (only Shaycom or Gozoof employees may use "Shaycom" or "Gozoof" in their Shaycom IDs).

What can I use to create my password?

Your password should be between 6 and 50 characters long. It may include any combination of letters, numbers and special characters.

What should I do if I forgot my password?

Go to the Gozoof home page at www.gozoof.com and click on Sign in. Once on the Sign in page, click on the link that says, "Forgot your password?" Then type in your Shaycom ID to receive a new password. You may change your password once you have signed in by going to your "Account" page.

Why can't I sign into my account?

There are several reasons why you might be getting an error message: "Please check the Shaycom ID and password and try again." Here are some suggestions that might help you sign in if you're continuing to have problems:

1. Are you sure you're entering your Shaycom ID (not your email address) and the correct password, and your Caps Lock key is not pressed down, for instance? The password is case sensitive so you need to enter it exactly the way you chose it originally.
2. Are browser "cookies" enabled? For example, to reset your cookie options in Internet Explorer, go to Tools and choose Internet Options, then click the Privacy tab. Click "Default".
3. Is your browser set to check for new versions of pages? For example, in Internet Explorer, go to Tools and choose Internet Options, then click the General tab and click "Settings". Ensure that the "Automatically" button is highlighted.
4. If you think you might have forgotten your password, please click the "Forgot password?" link on the Sign In page, which you can reach by going to www.gozoof.com and clicking on the Sign In link on the top right.
5. Please try deleting your cookie files. If your cookie is not being accepted correctly, you will be logged out of your account as soon as you move to a different page. This may be blocking your ability to log in or stay logged in. To delete your cookies, close all browser windows, find the "cookies" directory, and delete the cookie files inside. As always, make sure that you have selected the proper files before deleting.
6. At times it's necessary to clear your browser's cache. The cache is the memory your browser uses to store content of the web pages that you visit. Storing that content lets your browser load those same pages more quickly the next time you visit them.
7. To keep from having to sign in each time, you may wish to check the "Keep me signed in until I sign out" check box.

If you're still having problems, please request a new password. After you receive your new password, you can change it.
