We test our pages in several different browsers and resolutions so that they should be compatible with most browsers. However, we recommend that users of America Online (AOL) and CompuServe browsers minimize that option and employ another browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Netscape).
WiredSafety's search engine is powered by Atomz.com. Our Web site is crawled regularly by Atomz and the body of each page, its title and meta-tags are indexed and the results stored at Atomz so that relevant information is readily available when a search is made. Follow this link to read more about Atomz >>
The Advanced Search allows you to refine your search query by using "quotation marks" or + (plus) and - (minus) signs to indicate terms which must (+) or must never (-) appear in your search results. Follow this link to try an Advanced Search >>
"Permission Denied" usually means that the link you have clicked on is a URL for a password protected area of our site. If you think you should have access to that area, e-mail the Division Director for that section. You can find their e-mail address on the main page of each section. E.g. the Volunteer Division Director's e-mail address would be found on the main Volunteer index page. "File Not Found" (or a 404 Error Message) could indicate that part of our site is down for some reason, try again later and if you find that the problem is not resolved you should contact us via our Bug Report Form to notify us that something is wrong.
We have tried to cover a much as we can in this section but if you have an unanswered question about WiredSafety or our services in general, you can post it at our Q & A Forum. You can also ask questions about Internet safety or other online issues. One of our volunteers will answer your question as soon as possible. Follow this link to use our Q & A Forum >>
Ask Parry! is a service where Parry Aftab, noted online safety and privacy expert, and Executive Director of WiredSafety can answer your questions about online safety, privacy and security, and help you with problems you encounter online. If you have a question for Parry, click here >>
The quickest way to report cybercrime is via our Cyber911 Tiplines. We accept cybercrime tips on child pornography sites and locations where child pornography is being exchanged and accessed. Victims of cyberstalking and harassment can also reach out for our help by using our cyberstalking report form. Our online cyberstalking help pages may be able to help, as well. If you are seeking to report a missing child, we recommend that you report the situation to your local law enforcement first, and then reach out to National Center for Missing and Exploited Children if you are in the United States. If you reside in any other country, you may want to check out the list of missing children reportlines from other countries.
