The translation is gibberish, what can I do?

how can I delete a favorite from a folder or completely?
You can delete your favorites in four different ways:

●  Click on the selected craft's heart icon and click on "remove it from favorites". This will delete the craft BOTH from ALL of your organizers/folders and from your favorites.
●  Go to your favorites, click on "all favorites" and delete them from here with the bin icon. This will delete the craft BOTH from ALL of your organizers/folders and from your favorites. 
●  Click on the selected craft's heart icon and click on the folder's name which you would like to delete it from. This will delete the craft ONLY from the selected folder. 
●  Go to your selected folder and delete them from here with the bin icon. This will delete the craft ONLY from this folder.
How do I share my favorites with my friends?
It's simple: create folders! Go to the "favorites/collections" page and create a PUBLIC folder. Place your most cherished favorites into this public folder and simply share the folder's link with others!
How can I submit craft tutorials?
It's also super simple! Just click on the big pink "Submit tutorial" button at the top of the page, fill up the submission form, and click on "submit"!
What are your submission rules?
● If you are a visitor (not registered user): you can submit tutorials ONLY from authors/websites who already exist in our database. Visitors cannot manage their submitted submissions.
● If you are a registered user: you can submit tutorials from anyone you would like to. But please note that: if you submit a tutorial from an author who is not existing in our database your submitted tutorial won't be accepted instantly, because we will ask the author first. The vast majority of the authors will be super delighted to be featured here at Mindy but maybe some of them not, so please respect that.

Tutorials from existing authors will be accepted(if it complies with our quality and consistency rules) but please note that: all submissions will be moderated (whether is from a new or existing author) and we reserve the right to remove or edit your submissions at any time. You can find much more information about our submission rules on the submission form itself, just click on the pink question marks to read the hints!
How long does it take for submissions to appear on the site?
Moderation can take up to 2 business days, due to the heavy submission volume.
How will I know if my submission is accepted or declined?
If you are a registered user, each new submission will appear on your "submissions" page. If a submission is declined, it will appear as "declined" with feedback and/or a reason why it was not accepted. You might also see requests from our editors in the feedback/messages box.
Should I tag my submissions?
Yes, we highly recommend it. Tagging your submissions is a great way to get keywords in your post and allow your submissions to be returned in search results more often.
How do I change my password?
You can change your password on the "profile settings" page.
How do I change my username/display name?
● Username: You can't change your username after registering so please choose it carefully.
Display name: You can change your display name anytime on the "profile settings" page.
I'm moving my blog to a new domain and my links have changed, can you change my links on Mindy?
Yes, we can change them for you(please contact us!) However, we highly recommend you redirect your old domain and permalinks to your new domain. If you don't, you'll obviously get an error page and more importantly, you'll lose all of your SEO rankings and link juice from search engines and other sites linking to your old domain.
How do I get a site badge to show off my gallery?

As a blogger, can I opt-out of allowing someone else to submit my tutorials?
No, but you will be able to edit their submissions (including deletion). Please note that: this feature is only available for registered authors who claimed their websites/blogs. For example: if you claimed exampleblog.com every submission sourced from exampleblog.com will be instantly connected to you (you will be able to edit/modify or delete them as you wish). This way the community can help you publishing your tutorials which may be a great help and time saver.
Can I prohibit/allow submissions?
Of course any time! If you want to prohibit the submission of your tutorials please contact us, and we will take steps immediately. You can allow "instant" submission in two different ways: 

● Go to your "profile settings" and claim your website/blog. This will give us permission to feature your tutorials, and it will also grant you access the already submitted tutorials which are sourced from your site. - Send your permission to us via e-mail or Facebook. This will give us permission to feature your tutorials, BUT you won't be able to edit/modify your tutorials via our website. 
● You can also give us permission to feature your tutorials if you stated it on your website somewhere. For example, if we can find a copyright policy on your website which allows sharing of image(s) (with proper back-links), that's enough for us.
The translation is gibberish, what can I do?
Mindy collects craft and DIY tutorials from all around the world, so presumably, you will find tutorials that are not English. For non-English tutorials, we provide an automatic translation. This automatic translation is created by Google Translator (artificial intelligence), so it has its own limits in translation, which often causes gibberish. We apologize for that! Unfortunately, we cannot fix this, but this is the reason why we collect only photo-rich, detailed tutorials. Feel free to contact us if you stuck somewhere.
