Mood:  irritated
OK this banner in the middle of my page is TOTALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!!! I had some of my firends come to my site and they were saying how they couldn't read anything on it, so I went myself and BAM the huge banner is smack dab in the middle of a crapload of text. FIX IT NOW!!!

Banners in the middle of my page
Mood:  irritated
I see that there are quiet a few others here who are having the same problem as I am. I mean what the hell is up with the ads showing up on the center of the page. It is going right through my links and my images on all pages. This just sucks because the ads on the pages are bad enough. I would much rather have pop ups, but oh well I do not have the right anymore. Well any way I hope this problem is fixed soon, because I do not feel like moving my page again, and I do not that the money to pay to get the ads off my page.

Same here
Yeah, I have the same problem as you guys. A banner ad keeps showing up in the middle of my pages, and it's getting really irritating. The ads used to display on the top and bottom of each page, and it was fine like that. Who can we contact regarding this problem?

il3, Me too
Mood:  irritated
yes, a banner ad that doesn't even have a "close" button is splashing itself all over my pages, no way to close them so they are the ultimate in bad netizenship. Is there an angelfire tech support email to contact? I don't mind ads, they come with the territory, but this is thoroughly obnoxious..

Now Playing: banner ad part 2
actually, the banner ad isn't going away AT ALL with each refresh. it's completely covering up text, images, and links, and there's no way to move it. PLEASE PLEASE tell the people who program these ads to FIX IT!!!! it's ruining a page that I work very hard on and that other people depend on.

Now Playing: banner ad
help! a big old banner ad (the one that is probably supposed to be at the bottom of the page) is appearing right in the middle of my page, covering up my text and images! 2 or 3 'refreshes' will make it go away, but when I return to the page it is there again, covering up my page's content. I know that writing to 'customer service' won't do any good, so I appeal to the people here....please communicate with the powers that be, and have them fix this error so the ad appears where it should be, and isn't covering up website content. (by the way, I've seen it on other Angelfire sites, too, so the problem isn't with my page)

How to make symbols???
Mood:  rushed
Topic: HTML Questions
Do someone now where to get the HTML codes to some symbols, with symbols I mean symbol you can copy and paste from i.e. Word.
Because sometimes the symbols turn themselves into iI, iY. I know some codes like √ which is the symbol for the square root.

I'm well within my storage limit. My home page still is displayed properly. It just happened out of the blue while I was in the the hospital for surgery. Everything was fine when I went in.

Mood:  quizzical
Topic: HTML Questions
Does anyone know how I can go about backing up my website (ie. the contents of the web shell- that is; the .html files, the .css files, etc.)?

I have an idea, but it wont work for any blog or .css files...

Answer to popup vs. banner ad question
Mood:  irritated
I did manage to get an answer on Angelfire regarding the popup vs. banner ads and how we go about changing from one to the other now. Here is their reply for the other person who wondered the same thing:

"Free members no longer have a choice of how ads will appear on their Websites. All free users will now see embedded ads and pop up ads. If you decide to build your web site with frames, you run the risk of having the ads appear in multiple frames. We suggest that you do not build with frames.

If you would like to upgrade your Web site to an ad free plan starting at $4.95 a month, please login to Angelfire, go to the Web Shell then click on My Account, then click on Upgrade Your Membership."

In other words, it's just one more way to coerce people to pay for webspace.

computerly retarded
Mood:  not sure
Topic: HTML Questions
Erm, could anyone help me with fonts? I visit other people's sites all the time and i see all these titles in really cool fonts, some flashing, some glittery, others are just shadowed, but they all look really cool, and i was wondering where one would find such fonts. Is there a site, or do i have to make them because i'm graphically challenged as well. Unfortunately.

Web Site Moved Mysteriously
My web site was up at www. angelfire.com/theforce/moratorium0/. Then it was replaced by a blank colored page. I reentereed the index page and it was okay a day then disappeared aagain as a purple page. My web site was in fact moved, with some cosmetic changes, to www.angelfire.com/theforce/moratorium/. I'm losing traffic, support, money etc. and human rights issues are being set back. How can I get oit to stop disappearing? The same thing happened on Tripod.

This is my first website, so I don't know much about building one. I followed all the directions, but every time I try to access one of my pages, either by typing the address in directly, or going to the link on my page, it comes up URL Not Found. Hellllpp!

Banner ads to popups
Mood:  quizzical
Someone below asked how to change from banner ads to popups now. I would like to know the same thing. I wrote to angelfire about it just now, but I have zero confidence that they will reply (with the actual answer to my question) since I had to choose one of four sub-topics, none of which had anything whatsoever to do with the question I asked.

So: How do you change back to popups only? I would like to go to a frames-based site and don't want a banner on each frame.

Chris
