Friendster Forums FAQ

Here you can find answers to questions about how the board works. Use the links or search box below to find your way around.

Where did the photos, blogs, comments, testimonials and all the other content in my old Friendster profile go?

As part of the reformat of the site, we had to remove some of the content of your profile including the photos, albums, blogs and most parts of the profile like the "more about " info, comments and the testimonials. All these data had been deleted and can no longer be retrieved. If you have an account in the old Friendster, you don't have to register again to get in to the new one. You can still use your login credentials (to your old profile) to login to the new Friendster and edit your new profile to your liking.

Can I still retrieve my photos, messages, comments, blog and other info from the old Friendster?

No. The profile info, photos, messages, comments and blogs from the old Friendster had been deleted. Sorry but there really is no way to retrieve your old data.

Where to find my friends on my profile page?

Your friends can be found on the right of your Avatar's profile page.

What is a profile page?
