1. Is this a free service?

Yes, believe it or not, writing and reading the e-cards is a free service. We get our money from advertising sponsors. That's why you see those banners on our pages.

2. How do the E-cards work?

An E-card is a web page that is created when you fill out and submit the e-card form. You can have a look at our sample e-card. We send an email to the recipient and she will be informed that a card is waiting for her in our post office. You can even overwrite our standard email message or add some text of your own.

3. Is there a way to customize my e-cards layout?

Yes, you can select pictures, colors, backgrounds, and music files. You can even link to any picture and sound on the Web.

4. Can I enhance my e-cards with a picture or music file from my personal computer?

Sure. Just upload the file to our server before you create your e-card. The upload program will return your file's new URL. On the e-card program's main form you simply enter this URL into the "custom image" or "custom sound" field.

5. Can anyone read my E-cards?

Only the recipient and you can access the e-card file. Of course our Webmaster could read it too, but you can be sure he's too busy and will not be willing to read hundreds of postcards every day. Each Internet E-card has its own claim check number. It is impossible to view an e-card without entering this number first and only the sender and the recipient will know it.

6. When will my e-cards be discarded?

Our postal clerk discards each e-card two weeks after it has been written. Sorry, there's no way to recover these e-cards. However, there is a return receipt checkbox in our e-card form. If you activate it, you will be notified by email when the recipient accesses her e-card.

7. I can't find the e-card that was sent to me. Is this a bug?

No, up to now we have located all "missing" e-cards. There are several possible reasons why you're not able to find your postcard.

The most common reason: Some browsers don't support basic functions that are required to pick up Digital Postcards and E-cards(e.g. some browsers from AOL, WebTV and IBM).

But don't worry... here's how you get your e-card anyway:
Simply send mail to our email robot missing@all-yours.net. It will immediately mail you a detailed explanation.

Hint for AOL users: Yes, you can have a better browser. The Webmaster of this site explains how to install Netscape.

8. When I click the button on your welcome page, nothing happens. Why?

You are recycling on this page. This is a browser related problem. You should access The Digital Postcard with an up-to-date browser like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Contents

9. How about computer viruses and Internet Greeting E-cards?

Our program eliminates possibly malicious code from an e-card before it is saved on our server. So no-one can annoy you with a JavaScript bomb in his e-card. Also, "conventional" computer viruses can't be transmitted with an e-card, because we do not transmit executable binaries to your computer.
