Getting Started

Welcome to I Think It’s You — a charming second chance for missed connections. This page walks you through the very first steps: opening the site, setting your language and theme, and finding your way around the home page.

What is I Think It’s You?

  • A place to publish a small wanted poster (Steckbrief) about someone you crossed paths with.

  • Not a dating app, not a swipe deck — there are no profiles to rank and no algorithm to please. Just real moments from real life.

  • Strongly anchored in Austria and the Crime Club universe, but open to anyone who has ever thought “Damn, I should have said something.”

  • Connected by the secret signal :|: — a quiet “I think it’s you” in the rhythm ding – ding – dong – ding – ding.

Key features at a glance

  • Wanted Posters — describe a sighting with a sighting type (Missed Connection, Get to Know, Look Familiar, Give Thanks, Network & Encounter, Miscellaneous) and an optional Reward for Finding Me.

  • Tags — general, location and date/time tags help the right person find your post.

  • Comments — chat publicly under a post.

  • Direct messages — talk privately, one to one.

  • Notifications — be told when someone reacts to your post or writes you.

  • Profile — manage your picture, your account and see your activity.

  • Light / dark theme and English / German language — switch any time from the header.

  • Moderation — community rules, reporting, restore. (Some functions are reserved for moderators and admins.)

Opening the platform

Open the I Think It’s You URL in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera). The home page lists the latest wanted posters in a timeline. You can browse without an account, but you’ll need to be signed in to write, comment or message.
