Frequently Asked Questions
General:
F.A.Q. What's the deal with Thrillist? Thrillist is a quick, free, daily email that sifts through the crap to find guys the best in everything from food, drink, and gear, to services and travel. For more info, see The Deal. Is Thrillist SPAM? No, dammit. You'll only get Thrillist if you sign up for it. If you don't want to get our writeups anymore, you can unsubscribe at any time. How do I join up? Click here, select what editions you'd like to receive and enter your email address. It's really not that difficult. What do I get when I join up? One daily email (per edition you're subscribed to) about whatever we've determined to be worthy and entertaining. If I've already joined, how can I change my profile information? Go to our Join Up page and enter the email address that's signed up for Thrillist. The page you'll be sent to will have all your profile information displayed. Enter the info you want us to have for you, and hit "FIRE". It will automatically update your profile with us. What's the story with The Vault? The Vault is where we keep all our past writeups. It's keyword searchable and categorized by topic and neighborhood. If you can't find what you're looking for, email us for help. How the hell do you guys put food on the table? We sell advertising. The banners surrounding each days article are paid for, as are occasional "text links" and "Allied Info" emails. For more info about "Allied Info" emails see The Thrillist Code. Can businesses pay to have a writeup feature them? No. We're frequently bribed with suitcases of crisp 20s and crates of smuggled monkeys but we always decline them. We write about whatever we think is cool, whether it's a new bar or a high quality heated toilet seat. That's how we do business. Will you shifty bastards sell my information? No. If you want to find out more about this, read our privacy policy. How do I send in a writeup idea? Either click the tip link or go to our contact page and select tips. How do you guys choose what you write up? We pound pavement, pour over the internet and harass friends and contacts to get the latest info. Then we select the best and fiercely ridicule the rest for not living up to our standards. I signed up, but haven't received anything yet. What's going on? We hate when this happens. Check out the Email Help section for more information. I'm getting the emails, but they don't look right. Many email service providers automatically block images. Look to unblock images in your email account preferences or settings. For directions on unblocking images by email provider, check out the Email Help section for more information. Can I change the email address my Thrillist subscription goes to? Not yet. Right now, each subscription is defined by the member's email address. To get Thrillist at a different address, unsubscribe the old address then rejoin with the new one. Soon we'll make this process easier. How do I unsubscribe? Thrillist is ruining my life. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the footer of every Thrillist email and on our homepage. We hate to lose you as a reader, but if you're reading this question, you probably don't belong on the list anyway. I want to advertise on Thrillist. How do I make it happen? Contact us and let us know what you have in mind. Someone will get back to you shortly. If I advertise on Thrillist, am I still eligible to be featured in one of your editorial writeups? Yes, but not because you're paying us. Our editorial features are selected for their own merit, nothing else. Advertising is paid content. Mixing the two is like dating your underage summer intern. Email Help General If you've signed up for Thrillist and you're not receiving emails, it's not your fault. It's the fault of the hysterical legislators who write anti-Spam laws that don't differentiate between legitimate services like ours and blatantly false (though still tempting) advertisements for penis elongation. The information below will help you correct your email settings in various browsers, thereby ensuring that the life-changing power of Thrillist lands in your Inbox instead of your junk mail. Also included are instructions on how to unblock images so you can enjoy Thrillist in all its glory. Text vs. HTML Most halfway decent email programs can handle HTML. Specifically, you'll be able to read HTML emails if you use Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo! Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora Pro, Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, Mozilla or AOL 6.0 and up. Eudora Light and earlier versions of Eudora Pro don't support HTML e-mail; neither does AOL 5.0 or earlier (but really, who the hell uses this stuff). Put simply, you should probably get HTML emails and if they aren't looking right, click here and make the switch to text only. GMail If you're receiving Thrillist in your spam email folder, follow these steps:
Windows Live Hotmail If you're receiving Thrillist in your junk email folder, follow these steps:
Microsoft Outlook If Thrillist is being automatically marked as Junk E-Mail:
AOL If you're not receiving Thrillist in your AOL account, follow these steps:
Yahoo If you're receiving Thrillist in your junk email folder, follow these steps:
Other Internet Service Providers If you've subscribed to Thrillist, but aren't receiving our e-mails, your Internet Service Provider or company is probably blocking them, under the misguided assumption that they're protecting you from unsolicited lewdness. Fix this by:
