Hey guys,
We did some big updates this week.
Please logout, clear your cache, log back in and try your verification again please.
Sorry for the frustration.

Hi Billie, sorry for being an old ignoramus who's not very tech savvy but what does 'Clear your cache' mean exactly ??

Hi! A cache is something on the device that stores a bit of data from websites that you visit. It's purpose is that it allows you to load the page/feature more quickly on a subsequent query or visit. For example, if you are surfing around the site, you wouldn't want to have to load the behind the scenes stuff that makes the site run (design files, images, etc) every single time or each page load would take forever.
So.....if we make changes to those files, the ones that make the site work, but you have the old files cached, you may be picking up on old functions that are no longer working or relevant and subsequently see something broken or not working correctly.
Usually, you can just clear your cache (just google do I clear my cache from browser (whatever browser you're using) using (whatever device you're using). Eg: how do I clear my cache in google on windows 11. Or even more general: how do I clear my cache on an android phone.

When all else fails, a restart can be damn near miraculous. LOL
So when I suggest to clear your cache, we're working to get you the new, properly working files.....

So for email verification, the process compares your email with a database of leaked emails from date X. Why? Some gigantic companies have not been very careful or responsible with your data, including giants like financial companies and some just sell your information. FYI: That is how your "free" site at those place stays "free". They aren't free. They sold your info.
Please note that we do not do that. Our site is actually free, which is why we ask for donations and provide offers.
Most importantly, your info is safe when you verify because we literally NEVER store it for it to be hacked later. It is flushed after the answer.
So, the verification is checking against known info. As in, everyone knows. So if your email was never compromised in a data breach anywhere in the world, congratulations. But unfortunately, it isn't going to work as a verification method here.

I use incogni (paid) to remove my information from these data brokers. You wouldn't believe the number of these entities (100's of them) that get your information and use it for whatever purposes. Any time you fill out a survey or put your email address in on a site there is a possibility. I don't do surveys anymore or reviews and I'm out of social media sites.

Clearing cache MS Edge

Clearing cache Chrome
https://www.howtogeek.com/661729/how-to-clear-cache-and-cookies-in-chrome/

Bare in mind that this may also get rid of any saved passwords and ids. I use the password manager in Chrome for the most part so I can get most of them back.
