Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The site looks different. What happened?

• A: We recently moved Tickle.com on to a new technology platform. While the layout might look slightly different, the popular features have remained and we’ve added some new ones.

Q: I can't log in using my old login information! Whats going on?

• A: If you registered for a Tickle Account during the month of June 2008, or have not logged into Tickle in the last 12 months, your account may not have been transferred over. The easiest solution will be to open a new account. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Q: I can’t see my detailed quiz results.

• A: We are still transferring data from the old platform and there were billions of results, so it’s taking a little while. Your old results will reappear soon.

Q: I think some of my friends are gone!

• A: Missing friends are those that have not logged into Tickle in over one year. Also brand-new users (those that registered after June 11, 2008) should have their accounts back on the site within the week, but you may need to re-invite them to be your friend.
