Thanks for checking the Frequently Asked Questions page. Here we try to answer
as many questions as possible for both website owners and end-users.
What does it do?
At your request, we monitor any website page for changes to its text. If a change is detected we send you a notification email.
How much does it cost?
It's free.
Will you spam me?
No. We hate spam too.
Additionally, to ensure that nobody signs you up without your consent all new signups must reply to a special email to confirm our service was requested (i.e. "double opt-in").
For more information see our policies.
What types of changes are detected?
Changes to the text of a web page are detected, changes in HTML tags are not detected.
Are there changes that won't be detected?
Yes. Text from external files or retrieved by JavaScript are not counted as changes
to the page being monitored. Also, web masters can exclude portions of a page by using
a special ChangeDetection tag. Additionally, changes in images
are not monitored.
How frequently are pages monitored for changes?
Typically pages are checked once per day for changes.
Why do I keep receiving change notices when the page hasn't changed?
The page has changed. Any change at all to any text at all on the page will by default trigger a change notice.
This includes things like the current date or changing ads being displayed on the page.
If it is your page you can exclude portions of a page by using a special ChangeDetection tag.
Why am I not receiving your emails?
Your email program or your email server is mistakenly treating them like spam. Look in your spam folder.
If needed, use this link to have another email sent.
How do I stop monitoring ("unsubscribe") a page?
Each time we send you an e-mail, there is a link at the bottom of the page that enables
you to switch off detection for that page. Simply click on the link and follow the
instructions in your browser.
How do I change my e-mail address?
Use the change e-mail form, located here.

Can a make the panel specify which page gets monitored?
By default signups through a ChangeDetection panel monitor the page the panel is on.
If you want to specify some other page, like a What's New page, you can specify the
page's URL in the panel HTML.
You do this by adding an additional input tag after the "email" tag in the panel's
form. So, after a tag similar to this:
