How to back up website.
Mood:  quizzical
I searched the angelfire Help sites, no luck. I wish to back up my website,because the other day the webshell index.html was inexplicably wiped out (after uploading images, it was empty). Now, re-building it, I better back it up frequently. What's that with FTP? Can anybody kindly offer some advice? Thanks. Lou.

My opinion
Now Playing: news
I have visited a few sites. The feature I like on these sites are when I get an instant message asking if I need help to talk to the web maker click yes and we'll be talking through Im.
I know Angelfire probably doesn't have the man power for that. But I think durring the hours that you work it would be kind of neat to have so that you feel like with the domains, its more personable. But it was just a thought.

Editing Advanced Blog Settings
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: HTML Questions
HI
I'm trying to edit the main page of my advanced blog settings. I'm normally ok about this stuff and know what to look for and what not. However, there is a little problem. This week when I went in to change a few things I came into a whole bunch of garbage that looks like chinese characteristics. I don't know what happened. I just added a background and all of a sudden this has happened.
I think I might have to contact customer service for this but if anyone knows how to fix this I'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced...

wohoo 800 postings

TOTALLY INADEQUATE RESPONSES from HELP
Mood:  sad
Is there a way around ROBOT replies? I have an old blog I thought hadn't gone up; to my horror I find it's there, unformatted. All attempts to access it and kill it are answered with the same inadequate robot replies. Can't even get to it when I sign into Angelfire (finally figured out my old name and password, thank God) because there is no search among the categories of blogs.

Topic: FrontPage
for some reason the buttons images for my nav bar aren't showing up. The images are there, I double checked and re-uploaded the image files just to be sure and still not showing up. The rest of the page's images seems to be there any ideas on what the problem could be?

The nav bar it's self seems to work, if you hold your cursor over the image place marks and click it takes you to the other pages.

Also the pages seem to take an awful long time to load, and I'm on broadband. I've used both IE and Mozilla.

Thanks for any suggestions on how to get these images to show up.

Topic: News
The Angelfire Team has released an update today which should improve performance significantly in the builder tools, the member directory, and the other top level features. (The big blogs performance improvement was last week.) This release also includes the standard run of bug fixes and little tweaks.

This update should be largely invisible to members. If you see any new problems today, please respond in this thread and we'll get to work on fixing them.

In the meantime, I hope members have had a chance to check out the new commenting and customization features in the Photo Album tool which we released last week. We're always looking for feedback on our new features.

Thanks!

I have just created a website for the bar I work at. They "booted me off because, in their wrods, The thought I was "storing files". I have no clue wha they are talking about. I read and read but the only thing that I could come up with was that I am missing "html" on my files. I do have links to photo albums that I think need "html" behind the name of the photo album but I am not sure if that's what I need to do to keep m site up. Someone please help.

Thank you for contacting the Lycos Network Abuse Department.

Your account was closed because our system saw that you had no html
files in your directory and assumed you were simply storing files. I
have reinstated your account with a 72 hour grace period so that you may
continue to develop your site. Also, be sure that ALL of your files
include a valid file extension, or you run the risk of this happening
again. Thank you for your cooperation.

This is what the exact email read.
Thanks in advance to whom ever can help me.

I don't seem to find an answer anywhere
Mood:  blue
Help! When I first log in and go to Webshell, I'm getting an error message written in red just underneath File Management which says "The file(s) already exists and you did not ask to overwrite it." I can't seem to find any information anywhere in Angelfire Help to fix whatever the problem is that causes this message to be displayed on my Webshell page. For a while, I could enter the name of the site I've been working on into the Google Search engine and pull up 2 different Angelfire urls of my website. The first one I clicked on brought up just a incomplete homepage and does not link to anymore pages. The next site was indented around five spaces just underneath the first one and when I clicked on it, I pulled up the site I have been working on. Now neither of the site are showing up when I enter the name of my site into the Google Search Engine. The site I am working on is a free one with the url of anglefire/art3/hpbrubyjeanie. The url of the top site was something like angelfire/misscott/hpbrubyjeanie. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so the error message goes anyway and everything is staightened out. Thanks

Photo album probs
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Image Questions
hi everyone...
I'm having major probs with the photo builder, I had made the album, however the images needed some fixing, so I fixed em on my PC and uploaded them and deleted the old ones. after running the program I got an error msg. now after 2 days i still cant access the album builder or the album itself...the msg on the album when opened says that the directive could not be processed!!!
I really need to put up those pictures...its some college work that I need to finish. and making a new account for the album would mean I wont be able to put in on my blog site!
HELPPPPPP!!!
anyone with answers can please email me at mariammamsa@hotmail.com

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:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010331084018/angelfire.lycos.com/doc/about.html

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?
