Why can't I access my file manager in my Geocities account?

[oochie]

I can log into my account fine, but when I click on File Manager or Easy Upload, I get a Cannot Find Server message. Same thing happens when I try to click on the Help link, Geocities Chat link, the Yahoo PageWizard, and Yahoo PageBuilder.

Even when I try to create a new account and click on these links, I get the same result.

I have tried using Explorer, Netscape, and Opera, but I get the same results in each browser.

Please Help!!! Thanks.

I dont mean to sound mean, but thats what you get for using geocitites...I cant help you with that, but what are you trying to use geocities for?

I am trying to sign up for a new webpage so that I can host some pics for an ebay auction. I have had success in the past with Geocities (hosting eBay pics), but when I tried to use Angelfire yesterday, they closed my account really quickly since I was using the images in an eBay auction.

Do you know of any free sites that I could use to host eBay pics that I could use in my auctions?

fox302.com thanks not....er...tyler

 

[oochie]

Wow, thanks for the link! So are there any terms of service or anything that I need to know before I register? The website is rather uninformative. Is this a small private site or what is it? I've never heard of it before -- how did you learn of it?

 

[rudeguy]

its a site just for AT members...hosted by Tyler, who is a lifer here....he provides it as a service to us all....just make sure you delete any files that you dont really need on there, and thank him if you ever see him online (or use that little paypal button up at the top of the fox302 homepage)

Cool. I don't know too much about HTML and dont know if you do, but do you know if I could simply use the <img src="file.gif"> tag to display pics within my auction description? When I did this with Geocities, I had no problems at all displaying pics in my auctions. But after perusing the fox302 site, I am not so sure if this is possible.

 

[rudeguy]

not sure if gif is supported at fox302...what kind of pic are you trying to put up there?

 

[oochie]

gif, jpeg, it doenst really matter. i was just using that as an example. I need pics of some DVDs that I am planning on selling. I was just wondering what i would direct the tag to. Cause with your own geocities website, its pretty simple (img src=http://www.geocities.com/oochie/dvdpic.jpg)...but I am not sure how what my tag would look like if I had the images hosted at fox302.

 

[rudeguy]

just upload the image, then right click, get the url and point the link there

 

[oochie]

geez, im an idiot. i was just looking at the URL of the page with the pic and wondering how the heck i would put that into my auction. But I didn't think of right clicking on the pic itself and finding out the exact URL for just the pic (and not the whole damn page). Thanks for your help rudeguy. I really appreciate it. Now i can finally go to sleep!!!

sleep sucks...stay up and play some games

 

[oochie]

aw man, all that questioning just to find out that i can't even register at fox302.com. when i try to do so, it says "registration currently disabled". Is there another way to register? I'm wondering if it's usually enabled, in which case I can just wait it out. Or am I supposed to contact him first through email or something?

another AT site
