Topic: HTML Questions

In Google account webmaster tools- when I go to 'crawl errors' (I have over 100 angelefire pages) I find almost half of my pages have a '404 not found' in a URL consisting of my 'root directory/memberembedded'.

When I Google the term 'memberembedded extension' I can find nothing that explains how to recognize it within my html and think it might be the ad script that angelfire embeds in their free pages.

If so- I guess there's no way to correct those crawl errors but would appreciate someone confirming or not this assumption.

Still Waiting for the "Strange Characters" Fix
Mood:  irritated
Topic: HTML Questions

My readers are telling me that Angelfire is still converting my quotation marks and hypehns to strange characters. May I have an update on the fix please.

 An example is https://www.angelfire.com/space2/light11/fc/ascension1.html 

Thank you,

 Steve Beckow

Webon and search engines
Mood:  not sure
I have been using webon for a few of my pages a few months now. I have yet to see any of them come up on google, yahoo etc. I filled in all the meta tags and description but still nothing. Has anyone else noticed this?

Issues with Stats Reporting
Mood:  not sure
Topic: News

Just an FYI... we saw the reports about Stats reporting not working correctly. We believe we have a fix in that will correct the problem. Basically, a URL was not correct in the Control Panel... the stats should still be there... you just couldn't get to them.

We're currently waiting for our Operations team to release the fix. Should not be too long.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for using Angelfire!

Regrading the Stats
Mood:  a-ok
Regarding the stats I get how many times viewed yesterday and the month but when I click on view report I get this also 

Sorry, it looks like you don't have any data to display. Either your site hasn't gotten any traffic yet, or you just upgraded your account. Come back tomorrow and try again!

Webshell Corrupts File
Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: Webshell Corrupts My Files
Topic: HTML Questions

Since the redesign of Angelfire, when I save a file, the webshell converts my quotation marks and hyphens to code like this: "Merging into Completeness" becomes “Merging into Completeness,â€Â

Is anyone else having the same problem? Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Thanks,

Steve

Web Stats?
Mood:  irritated
1024x768 Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}

Where are my web stats? When I click on the wonderful new and improved Angelfire web-stat menu I get; "Sorry, it looks like you don't have any data to display. Either your site hasn't gotten any traffic yet, or you just upgraded your account. Come back tomorrow and try again!"

I know I have data to display and I have not updated my account. I have checked it everyday for a week now. Nothing.

Since I am a Premium Angelfire customer, I waited the promised 24 to 72 hours to hear a response to the 1st or the 2nd support ticket I filled out. I have yet to hear from anyone other than the automated message thanking me for submitting my question and when I should expect a response .

Our web-stats are a very important part of the online non-profit organization we run. They help us to determine how people find our website and what we can do to improve search engine rankings.

Is anyone else having this problem???

Green Background
Mood:  irritated
Topic: HTML Questions

I have several pages that I edit frequently. These pages are formatted, I.E. Months of the Year, so that I do not have to retype everything everytime. I position my page to edit with the area in the middle of my screen.

Problem 1: As soon as I am in the correct spot to add information, the screen goes to the green background losing where I want to do my editing.

Problem 2: When I do start to edit, the screen jumps to the bottom line in the edit area causing me to lose where I am and I am unable to "easily" move to the next line to add information. An example: I am adding bowling scores that were bowled last night. I enter the last name on one line, the first name on line 2, score bowled on line 3, date on line 4 and the bowling center on line 5. Whith this jumping around it slows me down and if I am not paying close attention, I will enter the new information in the wrong place.

The above example can be found on my webshell (il/beloitbowling)under the mhs.html directory. This is very annoying and very distracting when I have several different areas in the same directory that I am working on.

FTP Issue

I normally use FTP to upload files to my page (as I often update with 50+ page updates per day), but the last few days I've had error messages every time I've attempted it. I can log in via FTP just fine and browse my files/folders, but the upload fails every time.

 

Is there a known issue with FTP right now?

Angelfire loading issues on FireFox
Topic: HTML Questions

Greetings,

 

I have begun to notice some layout issues with the new Angelfire and Firefox 2.0.0.14 for Linux.

The layout appears to be broken and spread out.  Tried Konqurer with the same results.

 

I have screenshots of the Angelfire homepage using FF:

 http://efreephoto.com/image-20374526464ca17cc4a776f.htm

 

It also affected one of my sites, which I also have a copy of it on Tripod, and it works fine on there.

 

The site on Tripod:

http://picshome.com/getfile.php?id=114208&access_key=f7f6e8a7ba982858ae6d8a3a2cb813c4&t=4ca18d58&o=657F246FD67E1F40649897874EFE7563316D0223CB93DF1B24A6FF4DD4F9C52675337D20008A21545D1DFA8B9B50FF6D&name=tnsc1.png

 

What it looks like on Angelfire:

 http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8240/tnsc2.png

 

Id this just a browser issue, or is there something else going on??

(This flavor of Linux wont really let me update FF to its latest.) 

 

Now Angelfire looks ok on Google Chrome, but the TNSC site above is still broken only on Angelfire, it worked perfectly on AF before the change, and has only been broken today - I have not made any changes to the source on my end.  The source is also cited properly as XHTML 1.0.

Just a minor issue :)
Mood:  chillin'


The NEW Angelfire Control Panel & Webshell is very nice, but it is too 
big for my 'old man's size screen' @ 800X600 pixels. I would have to 
adjust my screen resolution settings to at least 1024X768 pixels, in order 
to see the whole page. 

Would it be a problem to go back to the 'one size fits all' format?

HELP!
Now Playing: smart quote problem?
Topic: HTML Questions

I have a problem.  I have had my website through Angelfire for over 11 years, and I've done the same thing for that time.  I write my posting in Word (it uses smart quotes, etc.) send it to my mailing lists and then add necessary code and post it in my webshell. 

I went in to the webshell today, shocked that everything is new but willing to learn, and edited two of my pages.  When I opened those to edit in the webshell, all the 'smart quotes' could not be read and when I saved the page with my changes, all quotes and apostrophes and other symbols changed to other gobble-de-gook. 

The rest of my pages are ok, but as soon as I have to open them to do some editing, I'm going to lose my formatting.  I already have to fix three pages, and I'll have to access several more by the end of the week.  I'd rather not have to change my system.  Is there some way of making the webshell recognize my smart quotes and other auto text?

Never Before ...
Mood:  irritated
Topic: HTML Questions

 

Can somebody help me here.  I've had an angelfire account and a web site for 10 years! I've been adding files and building the website in the webshell in html for a long time. I do this on a weekly basis. Never any problems or worries. This week I LOST six days of data! Anything I had entered or saved during these past six days was gone Monday morning. I called tech support for angelfire and they had no idea or suggestions. I was hoping it was a system issue and my files would be restored. I've re-entered the information and everything seems to be okay and back to normal --- so far. Very scary, and it cost me about 2 hours of additional work. Anybody else experience this or know what may have gone wrong?
