How do I add birthday reminders to my reminder list?
To get email reminders from BirthdayAlarm of your friends' birthdays:
  1. If not already - click here to sign in, enter your email address and password.
  2. Click the 'My reminders' tab.
  3. Click the 'Add Birthday Reminders' option.
  4. You will then see some special wording for you to copy and paste into an email you send to your friends. The wording includes a link which your friends click on when they receive the email from you. This link shows them a page where they can enter their birthday details directly into your account with BirthdayAlarm.
How do I copy and paste?
To copy and paste please carefully follow these instructions:
  1. Highlight Step - Position the mouse pointer at the top left corner of the text to be copied. Press down the left mouse button and whilst holding it move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the text. This should highlight the text to copy. When the required text is highlighted, release the left hand mouse button.
  2. Copy Step - Whilst the mouse pointer is over the highlighted text click the right mouse button and select 'Copy'. If you find Copy a problem there is an alternative way to copy the highlighted text if you are copying text from your browser - Click the 'Edit' option located top left of your browser and then click 'Copy' from the resulting drop down menu.
  3. Paste Step - Create a new email as you would normally. Click where you wish the text to be inserted. Press the right mouse button and select 'Paste'. If you find Paste a problem, see if your email software has an 'Edit' option top left. If it does then click this 'edit' option and then click 'Paste' from the resulting drop down menu.
I can't get copy and paste to work. What now?
You can set birthday reminders without having to copy and paste by carefully following these instructions:
  1. If not already - click here to sign in, enter your email address and password.
  2. Click on the 'My Reminders' tab.
  3. Click the 'Add Birthday Reminders' option.
  4. Click on the link called 'Click here if you need instructions on how to Copy and Paste'. This will show you some extra text on the same page.
  5. Click on the link called 'If you are unable to Copy and Paste for any reason then click here for an alternative'. You will be shown a new page. Follow the simple instructions given to you on that page.
Can I set birthday reminders without emailing my friends?
To get birthday reminders for those people whose birthday you already know, please do the following:
  1. Use the Add Birthday Reminders form - click here.

From here you can add as many people's birthdays as you like, 12 at a time.

 
How do I change an existing birthday reminder?
You can change or delete a birthday reminder by following these instructions:
  1. If not already - click here to sign in, enter your email address and password top left.
  2. Click on the 'Reminder' tab.
  3. If the 'My Reminders' page is not displayed, click on the 'My Reminders' menu option.
  4. To change a reminder, click on the person's name. To delete a reminder, click on the red 'X' icon.
 
Can I choose how far in advance to be reminded of birthdays?
Yes. The default is two reminders, the first 7 days before and the second 3 days before. To change this to whatever suits you best:
  1. If not already - click here to sign in, enter your email address and password.
  2. Click the 'My Account' tab.
  3. Click the 'My Profile' option.
  4. Click on the 'Reminder Options' tab on the 'My Profile' page.
  5. Click on the EDIT button on the left hand side of 'Reminder / Email Options'.
  6. Change your reminder timing. You can choose to get your reminder(s) anything from on the day to 14 days in advance. Click the SAVE button to save your changes.
Why am I not receiving my reminders?
If you have any junk mail filters set on your email you should include service@noreply.BirthdayAlarm.com as a 'safe' address. Also - as you may know, in very rare circumstances the internet or your ISP can 'lose' an email. There is also a possibility you may have registered the wrong email address with us so BirthdayAlarm is sending you reminders to the wrong email address.
 
Can I get reminders for events other than Birthdays?
Yes, here is how:

Holidays

  1. If not already - click here to sign in, enter your email address and password.
  2. At the bottom of the 'Reminder' page click the 'Set Holiday Alarms' link on the right hand side above the Holiday Alarms list.
  3. Select either your country or religion and click the related OK button on the right.
  4. Click the square tick box for each holiday you want a reminder of and then click the SAVE button when complete.

Anniversaries - Friends'

  1. If not already - click here to sign in, enter your email address and password.

You will have noticed that you must first have a birthday reminder set for the person, before you can enter their anniversary.
