side bar
Mood:
party time!
I think Angelfire is missing the boat here. look at all that wasted space with the use of sidebar! Since that page covers a whole site, they should put more addresses on it so the happy external visitors can really have fun wasting their time looking at each one. they sure aren't going to see anything on my site!

I would also like to know why the sidebar covers my site? Do you realize you are costing us money for people not being able to view our sites?
get rid of the sidebar
Mood:
irritated
Hello! Why isn't Angelfire responding to the numerous complaints about the sidebar? IT DOESN'T WORK!!!! Today I am using a different public computer at the library, and guess what! The sidebar covers up my entire page, and there is no way to close it out. I am being blocked from my own page. Do they realize just how many people use public computers, and have no choice of browsers? The whole idea of the World Wide Web was to make every page viewable to everyone. Angelfire has made all of their sites off-limits to a great many library and school computer users. By now, Angelfire should have realized that you can't squeeze money out of people if they can't visit your sites. In the end, Angelfire will be the big losers because no one will be able to visit any Angelfire sites, but no biggie...there won't be any Angelfire members left by then, anyways. They will lose advertisers, which will cause them to jack up their rates for upgraded accounts, which will cause them to lose paying customers, too. Their own greediness will destroy them. Obviously they just don't care....
Ugrading account
Mood:
don't ask
I'm really upset. I have had my page on angelfire for a LONG time now. I was finally ready to upgrade to a package but when i get to the page that says membership it tells me "the member name is already in use choose an alias" but doesn't have any for me to chose or let me add one. It says every alias i put is taken.. so its obviously broken for some reason cause no offense but half the stuff i put NO ONE can have. So i write their "help" people and three days later no response.. Its like they are making it IMPOSSIBLE to upgrade. so i guess they don't want my money. I was REALLY not wanting to move my whole site just to upgrade to what i want to use but it looks like i might. ANyone know how to get past this STUPID membership page? (also i tried another account with angelfire and at the end it tells me my credit card number is wrong when it is obviously correct.... money anyone? cause apparently they don't want mine.)

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,

Topic: HTML Questions
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!

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.
--------------------------------------

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.
