Topic: HTML Questions
My website seems to have a new window that pops up on the left side of the screen. It is a Angelfire/Tripod window. People are telling me that they are unable to access my site at all now, even if they X out this Tripod window. What on earth is this window and why am I having problems with people accessing my site after years without trouble? This window just starting poping up within the past few days. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

I got hit with "sidebar". I can't even get into my site - www.columbiaflywayshow.com. Got a message from Angelfire that said screw you - pay us $4.95/mo if you want to see your site. isn't that called blackmail? weren't they getting their bucks with all the banners and popups my clients have to put up with? does anyone have a phone number for angelfire I can call? I can't find a number. Is there a site I can go to and file a complaint for host abuse?
Angelfire Updates
Topic: News
Angelfire pushed out some new code updates today to fix a number of bugs.
1. Fix for blogs published to the root directory. Previously, there was a problem where the blog would overridden by a default HTML page whenever you log into your site.
2. Image gallery reorganization. (May not be user-visible.)
3. Other misc fixes that I don't know about.
Please let us know if anyone notices any problems as a result of these changes. Post problems, comments, etc. in this thread.

How can I change permissions to a file?
Mood:
not sure
I need to change permissions on a file I've uploaded so that it can be written to. I can't figure out how to do it, though I've tried using two different FTP programs. When I tell the FTP programs to change the permissions, one program (WS_FTP Pro) tells me that it just wasn't done, and the other (CoffeeCup Direct FTP) freezes for a minute then disconnects. Please help me!

I have tried to use my domain name and the angelfire address, still no luck. its getting really annoying and stunting the progress of the site.
how to uninstall sidebar
Mood:
happy
Lycos just sent me the following instructions on how to uninstall the sidebar search tool. Hope it works for you (I've upgraded, which solved the prob).
1) In the address bar of your browser, please type in the following:
clear search version
Note: You can find the address bar at the top of your Internet Explorer
or Netscape browser. Make certain you are placing a single space
between "clear" and "search" as well as between "search" and "version".
There is no space after "version".
2) Once you have typed in "clear search version" in your browser's
address bar, hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard.
You will see information that will determine how you will proceed.
3) Look for the line of text that states "Promo Code". If the Promo
Code = 86 or 78, you will need to uninstall Lycos Sidesearch.
------------------------------------
Uninstall Directions for Sidesearch:
-Click START -> SETTINGS -> CONTROL PANEL.
-Open the "ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS" icon.
-Click on "Lycos Sidesearch."
-Click on the "ADD/REMOVE..." button and follow any on-screen
instructions.
-Restart your computer when the process is complete.
-------------------------------------
4) If the Promo Code is something other than 86 or 78, or there is no
information next to the Promo Code, then you will need to determine the
partner that has installed Lycos.
-------------------------------------
The Partner can be determined by following these steps:
-In your browser, type in an invalid web address, such as
wwww.lycos.com.
-Lycos Search Results will appear.
-Take a look at the web address in your address bar and look for
"src=clear" (Clear Search)
--------------------------------------
Uninstall instructions for Clear Search:
-Close all but one browser window.
-Type in the following URL into the address bar of the one open browser:
http://www.clear-search.com/Software/ClrSchUninstall.exe
-Follow the on-screen instructions.
-Restart your computer when the uninstall process is complete.
--------------------------------------

Oh well it was nice while it lasted

horrible sidebar
Mood:
irritated
This sidebar thingy is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Not only is it annoying, it doesn't even work! The top link, which should be my current page, goes to an Angelfire "error" page saying my site doesn't exist...but of course it does! And the other links that pop up are totally inappropriate: "how to make a bong," "how to make a silencer" and so on. Nothing that has ANYTHING to do with my page! I pride myself on making a site that is all-ages friendly, and I don't appreciate having these unwanted and totally "unfriendly" links popping up without my consent. Get rid of this sidebar.
Midi Playing on the Site
Topic: HTML Questions
Okay, I checked the HTML Basics page and looked up the question involving using MIDI files on a site. Okay, so I see that it shows only the Crescendo coding and the Netscape ones. Alright, so I went to the site to download Crescendo and have sadly found out that it no longer exists.
...Now what? I spent three hours today deciding a wonderful song for every page of my site, and I can't even put them on because Crescendo doesn't exist anymore!
I am in extreme need of help. All who have music playing in the background on your sites...please help me!
Sincerely,
Bianka (webmistress of the not-yet-completed
Final Fantasy Bastion ).

New Angelfire "Similar Sites" Sidebar
Topic: News
Angelfire has launched a new feature on free member pages, a "similar sites" sidebar. This sidebar, which only pops up in Internet Explorer, gives visitors to Angelfire free sites links to other sites (both on Angelfire and Tripod) which contain similar information. The intent is to provide visitors with more options, if they are unable to find the information they are looking for on the first site they go to.
This is an improved version over what was launched on Tripod last month and there should be fewer problems as a result. There are still cases where some uncommon browsers, such as SBC Yahoo! or Juno's custom version, have difficulty browsing pages. We are still working on those issues and hope to have them resolved soon. (If you are a JavaScript wizard and are interested in helping out, you can respond to this post.)
In conjunction with this release, we have also recently decreased the number of popups and popunders which are displayed when visiting free sites. We have also worked to eliminate ads that prompt you to download software and other ads which were unfriendly. You will still see popup ads when browsing free pages, but we hope that the annoyance factor has been dialed down somewhat.
If you have any problems with your site or the sidebar as a result of the release, please post your responses here.
