We have rewritten Polse.com from scratch. However, the second part is still pending, that is, the one for registered users.
You do not need to register to send cards. However, registered users will have more control over their postcards.
If you find anything that does not work or do not understand, or wish to make a suggestion, do not hesitate to write. We are open to suggestions.
Please note that this website is only for fun, and that you should never include sensitive information in your postcards. Notice too that we do not track you. Once a postcard is deleted, all the information we have about you (names, email addresses, uploaded images) is gone. Moreover, the sender may remove his or her postcard before it expires, when he or she wishes.
Please note that Microsoft's email service (Hotmail/Live/Msn/Outlook) cannot be used because it is very prone to blacklist a web server for no apparent reason. Those users will have to register. They will have to use our online contact form to write to us, and make a one-time payment of five euros through Paypal.
