Take a walk down memory lane...
This really brings back some memories (for me, but probably not for you). Here, thanks to archive.org, we have Angelfire's old "History of Angelfire" site. It's so terribly out of date now, but still a good read.
http://web.archive.org/web/20010208102520/angelfire.lycos.com/doc/history/index.html
Marvel at our stylish black Lycos headerbar! Gasp at our overuse of blue! Be amazed that we haven't changed the logo very much recently!
The old AF staff pages:

The thing that surprises me looking at this stuff is the tongue-in-cheek style we did a lot of the stuff in... I wonder if we should be injecting more personality into the site these days. Amazingly, legos are still involved. (But the giant Power Puff Girl has now been replaced by a stuffed giraffe named Raffi. He was willing to work for minimum wage.)
I hope you enjoy those links. We might update and repost some of this stuff eventually.
What do you think?

Sudden problem running perl script
Mood:
quizzical
Topic: HTML Questions
I have a script that I have been running for a few months now on from my website to assist me in conducting a survey. The script is written in perl and I upgraded my Angelfire account to Neon so that I could run it. (Basic free accounts can't run homegrown CGI scripts.) All of a sudden, it's returning a "File Not Found - 404 message - errorcode 400" but if I change the name of the file from .pl to .pm or even .PL (and change the corresponding call on my index.html), it displays the text so I know it's finding the file.
The script was working up until a week or two ago! Has anyone else suddenly lost the ability to run perl from their website?
Angelfire Update
Topic: News
The Angelfire Team has completed the maintenance today which includes a number of new features:
1. Angelfire Blogs has been updated to be more responsive and to fix several known bugs. It's a big under-the-hood overhaul so there may yet be some bugs to shake out but it looks good so far.
2. Angelfire Photo Albums has been given a major update. We now support "advanced customization" similar to with the Blogs tool. In addition, you can now enable commenting on your images with the same level of comment moderation as is supported on Blogs.
3. New members to Angelfire will now go through a slightly different flow which ends with allowing them to select what build tool to use.
4. Microsoft FrontPage extensions are now enabled by default for all new accounts. Existing members will still have to activate on their "My Account" page.
5. The backend for the old Angelfire counter has been updated to now spit out PNG images.
6. Various other internal updates.
If you see any problems on the site today, please respond in this thread. We really appreciate the time that members take to look over our new features and try to break them since it makes for a better product overall. I'll make sure that any comments in this thread get handed off to the appropiate people.

Maintenance Today
Topic: News
Today, the Angelfire Team will be performing maintenance on the site, in order to improve blogs performance and to also add new features. During this maintenance, users will be unable to post comments or new entries on blogs for approximately 30 minutes. We apologize for this inconvenience as we move the blogs onto the new backend system.
I'll make a larger post later on this afternoon with information about the changes. If anyone is willing to help test (basicially, just use all the features of the site and let us know if you find any problems), that is always appreciated.
As always, if you see any problems please respond in this thread.
UPDATE: The maintenance has been moved to Wednesday morning. We will make a followup post when it is completed.

Web shell is a blank frame
Mood:
irritated
I am a mac user and when I try to use the web shell, the page loads, but the main frame is all white. Text, links, buttons... everything is white. The mouse changes when I move over links, but I can't see anything. The older web shell never had this problem. I sent requests several times, but no response. Any clues?

Links don't work

I have an angelfire free website and I cannot add links to my favorite sites to share with others. A search not found page shows up instead of the intended website. What do I do to correct this.
Front page extensions not acceptable, can't edit
Mood:
crushed out
Topic: FrontPage
I followed the instructions to make editing my site possible with FrontPage 2000, but when I try to "publish to web" I am told I have to get permission from my page provider to use FrontPage extensions. I then run the activate Front Page editing protocol and get the same message again. What am I getting wrong?

Browser Scroll
Mood:
irritated
HI
I copy and pasted a browser scroll script from lycos and it worked fine for a few days. It has come upon 2 days that it has not worked. I did not modify it after I added it on my site. I don't know why it will no longer work. Is anyone having difficulty with your scroll browsing. It is not working on my puter right now. But if someone could take a look and let me know whether or not it does for you. If anyone can give me a solution please send it my way.
Thank you

Script for IP Viewing For My Visitors
Mood:
a-ok
Just thought to join an angelfire community to get new ideas for my home website. If anyone is interested check it out at www.theciminis.com . It is my family website for friends and family living far away from me and to update them of my life away from them. Seems to help me deal with homesickness and such. I am really happy with the results of my website.
Does anyone know of any scripts (preferrable cut and paste) of viewers seeing their ip address when they first log onto the website? I think it is pretty cool. I would imagine it would be some sort of CGI. Thank you.
