Angelfire Support Update

As of December 1, I'm pleased to announce that Angelfire now has phone support available for paying users. (I'm sorry, we aren't able to offer phone support for free members, but you can still enter a ticket at http://help.lycos.com.) Hours for phone support are from 8AM to 8PM.

The numbers will be posted on Angelfire's My Account pages within the next several days, but I wanted to share this with the club while the changes get rolled out.

Angelfire Paid Support: 902-367-3826

JavaScript Only Works in Preview
Topic: HTML Questions

Hello all. I'm a Web developer and am stuck with quite a simple error. I don't know if I need an extra pair of eyes or just a script rewrite, but I am using a script to load thumbnails in an adjoining DIV (all in a table, class "thumbs").

In "Preview" mode, the thumbnails load fine, and the images all load properly, etc. But when I visit the page via other means, all of the thumbnails are full size again, and everything is crazy.

 I've had Angelfire issues before, mostly concerning code syntax. Sometimes the standards-compliant ending backslash (in single tags) will throw off a whole page. Finally, this error is only happening sometimes, although I have not edited the code again.

Take a look and let me know what you think! Thumbnails are on "graphics" link.

account cancellation

Hi there - I have been trying for two days to cancel my membership. I get the same error msg after clicking 'yes I want to cancel' every time, and the help link  brings up 'internet explorer cannot access the webpage' -- every time. Trying to link my help account to my main account does not work - click on 'link account' and nothing happens. Does angelfire's help dept. actually exist? Do they speak English? Do they know who won the World Series, or are they sitting on the banks of the Ganges saying, "These In-SCRU-ta-ble Americans! Why they want to cancel already?"

Just asking. 

 

error404.html
Topic: HTML Questions

 "To make your own 404 Error Page, simple create an HTML page called error404.html and place it in your top-level Angelfire directory. You can use the page to link back to your homepage or promote specific parts of your site. What appears on the 404 Error Page is up to you. The only requirement is that the finished page must be at least 512 bytes in size."
From https://www.angelfire.lycos.com/popup/webshell/error404.tmpl

 

I've made a error404.html page. (http://brischri.angelfire.com/error404.html) but if I type http://brischri.angelfire.com/zut answer I receive is the angelfire's 404 page.

Tagging (I think) my homepage
Topic: HTML Questions

Hi everyone,

I'm really new to this, but so far have been able to figure most of it out. The only problem is for some reason I can't find my website when I use a search engine. I read something in the help section that briefly mentions tagging your website. Is this the problem? I noticed when I enter the name with no spaces links to some of the stories will come up but not the homepage. I was also wondering can I still continue to edit the page after it's searchable? I know you probably can. How else would someone add something new to their sight, but I just wanted to double check. If anyone could help me I would be very thankful. Have a great night everyone.

Placing a PDF document on a website
I am trying to place a PDF file on my website.  It is 66 pages (307k).  I can click on it in the Basic Editor, and View it, so I know the document is there and is in good shape.  

In the Basic Editor for the page where I want to place it (page2.html), I listed the PDF document (named manual.pdf) in Step 6 as the Main Image.  In Step 10, I listed the Main Image 1st in order.  I left everything else blank, as the PDF document is the only thing I want on that page.  But it didn't work.  It doesn't display the PDF document.

What did I do wrong?

Angelfire web stats give a false picture?

It's not my intention to cause offence, but aren't the Angelfire web stats a bit misleading?

I've always been encouraged to see my web stats tell me that my website gets more than 100 page views a day. So I've worked hard on the site, frequently adding material.

But when I set up an account with Statcounter.com, I found out that far fewer people are visiting the web pages.

For example, my stats on Angelfire tell me that yesterday I had 125 page views, but the data from Statcounter tells me that there were only about 35 "real" page views. Most of the other views were probably from search engine bots.   

Read my conversation with one of the Statcounter staff: 

http://forum.statcounter.com/vb/showthread.php?p=232595#post232595

So is there any way Angelfire can improve the accuracy of its web stats? Or is it Statcounter that is producing the less acurate figures?

Free CSS Templates
Topic: HTML Questions

Can we use free templates from places like http://www.freecsstemplates.org or are we pretty much stuck with tweaking the templates given to us in our blog builder? I tried one  from freecss but couldn't get it to work. But, I'm not a css expert either. I just wandered if it was worth my time to keep trying.

 Thanks,

Virus Alerts
Mood:  irritated

I'm an Avast! user who gets the virus alerts about every other week or so. I can get rid of them by uploading clean versions of my index.html files to my main directory and subdomain directories, but viruses always return in a week or so. I'm starting to get hate mail from visitors who say they're being bombarded by virus attacks when they arrive at my site. Never had problems like this before, had a paid Angelfire account for years.

 Reason I'm posting this here is that I submitted a ticket a while back and got a reply about a week later suggesting the problem was in my computer. In my computer! So I'm getting basic customer no-service there.  I've had about as much as I can handle.
