Rob your wife could easily be my idol! I subscribe to numerous yahoo groups also although not nearly as many as your wife does! But I can easly receive 500+ emails a day. I run most of my accounts out of ukonline's email service but with yahoo's upgrade I have 2 gig there now...just have to figure out how to make the stupid pop3 work. Like you and your wife my boyfriend and I sit at our own computers and IM each other, and like you Dave has no clue as to why I have so many groups or why I need so many tubes, stationary, signature tags...but he has learned to just smile and say "yes dear". Rarely does he have to sleep on the couch. *lol* Tell your wife "she rocks"! for me. Minet

okay adding to the already lengthy thread here... Most of you have been through the hell of bad hosts, slow servers etc. Not me, I am so new at this it isn't even funny! But with all the questions I've posted that I'm sure a few chuckled about saying newbie under their breath, I've always got an answer if it's to fill out a help ticket. Everyone here has been friendly helpful and downright awesome so that my first experience with hosting has been unbelieveably great! So cheers to the family and thank you! I don't think I would even consider trying another hosting company after this! Glad I lucked out the first time! Hugs!

I'm really new here! And new to hosting a site myself, but no matter how trivial the questions I've asked I've always gotten terrific help from the forums people here. So don't be afraid of hosting your own site, if I can do it anyone can! This is really a terrific hosting site and I don't think I could find another like it if I googled til next year! Hope to see you've joined the family. Hugs!

Okay one more question before I head off to dreamland. I searched the forums and didn't see anything related to this... Can you use incredimail to recieve messages from your total hosting email address? And if so...will the people getting mail from me be able to see the stationary? I'm guessing the smtp etc would be the same as configuring for outlook express but just in case it isn't what would it be? Take your time answering this one folks I won't be back for an answer until tomorrow. Hugs!

And there it is!!!! Geez you all is soooooo smart! :hug: love ya love ya love ya!!!

see told you it was a no brainer! lol so rename it to index.html and move it to the public folder...gotcha thanks Lisa and Jikrantz! Hugs!

Hi all, Yes me again with something so simple I know most of you will shake you heads in disbelief... Okay it's been 72 hours since I signed up, however when I type in the full url of my site I'm still getting the parent directory. Have I by some chance not put the main page in the correct folder or named it incorrectly? I have all the pages and images in my www folder and the first page I simply labeled main.html Okay all you smart people what am I doing wrong? Hugs

Thanks Rob No hurries, it's not like the site is dealing with customers or anything. I can wait and check back this afternoon. Hugs who knows it may just reappear after the server is up and running! *lol*

Apparently the support desk must be down I went to this site https://ssl.totalchoicehosting.com/supportdesk/ and got this error Invalid SQL: Table 'total_esupport.asLanguagePacks' doesn't existInvalid SQL: Table 'total_esupport.asFaqQuestions' doesn't exist They may be having down time due to the new server....guess I can try again later and hang around here and see if anyone else has any ideas. Hugs

Hiya family! Well I made it through yesterday without having to bother anyone, however, this morning when I try and view my site I get this error There is no website configured at this address. You are seeing this page because there is nothing configured for the site you have requested. If you think you are seeing this page in error, please contact the site administrator or datacenter responsible for this site. Now it was just there late last night.....I tried seeing it through the parent directory and got the typical page not found error. I've tried accessing using both the IP before propagation (Ithink that's what it's called although it's almost be 72 hours) and by typing in my domain name, both come up nada. Any ideas? Or I am gonna have to fill out a ticket? Hugs

thanks for all the help guys! I got an html editor I think it is for ftp too...still trying to figure it out. But hopefully it'll give me some help. Hugs!

awww brich a woman after my own heart! Thanks for understanding! *lol* Jikrantz ~ love your icon! I have a guinea pig named max who is the biggest sweetest baby! Hugs!

thanks Bruce off to give it a try!

okay for some reason the <!---------text-----!> tag when I removed that the save button stayed. So so far so good..... never used ftp...what is it and where do I get it and how hard is it to learn? thanks for the help annie!

oops meant to say deleted everything after the </html> tag

hooooookay copy and pasted the code deleted the file created a new one copy and pasted the code to the new file and fixed the </table> tag and deleting everything below that. saved it went back to edit it and again that snippet of code was at the bottom and the save button was missing again! gremlins?

You were probably right the first time annie....I probably broke the html! wouldn't be the first time.... Okay web guru's here is the entire html so far for the page...luckily it's not to involved yet.... can any one figure what the heck made the save button go bye bye?? <html> <head> <title>Genteel Ladies of the World</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#65213A"><center> <table border="4" cellpadding="52" cellspacing="4" width="97%"> <tr><td width="100%" background="glbkg4.jpg"><table border="3" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="3" width="100%" bgcolor="#885F67"><tr><td width="100%"><table border="2" cellpadding="26" cellspacing="2" width="100%" background="glbkg3.jpg"><tr><td width="100%"> <table border="2" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="2" width="100%" bgcolor="#65213A"><tr><td width="100%" align="center"><FONT COLOR="BEIGE"> <!-------------------begin body content----------------!> <center> <br> <br> <table> <tr> <td> <img src="glmain1.jpg"><img src="glmain2.jpg"> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <br> </td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr> </table></td></tr></table </body> </html> <br> <input type=hidden value="/home/tweyauxm/www" name=dir> Save file as: <input type=text value="main.html" name=file> <br> <input type="submit" value="Save"> </form> </center></font></body> </html> <!---cPanel [9.2.0-STABLE_25] (pro) Copyright © 1997-2004 John N Koston.

Okay your all going to be sick of me before I'm done setting up the site but here's another small problem... I was busy setting up my first page. got the graphics and everything to work jumping back and forth editing the page to seeing how it was looking. Got back to the edit section and the save button at the bottom was gone! there was this snippet at the bottom that I didn't put in there... </textarea> <br> <input type=hidden value="/home/tweyauxm/www" name=dir> Save file as: <input type=text value="main.html" name=file> <br> <input type="submit" value="Save"> </form> </center></font></body> </html> <!---cPanel [9.2.0-STABLE_25] (pro) Copyright © 1997-2004 John N Koston. Licensed on server70.totalchoicehosting.com ---> any clues as to what happened anyone?

Your just trying to drive me crazy aren't you Lisa! Change my password.....yeah right! *lol*

Thanks Madmanmcp I guess I'll just have to live with it then and hope I never ever ever lose the original email or my notes!

Okay my very first post and like most newbies I'm gonna be asking probably a stupid question....how do I change my user name in cpanel? I was finally able to change my password and that took me oh....bout an hour! You guys really don't want anyone hacking into other people's sites do you? I was about ready to throw the dictionary at the monitor and scream for it to find it's own stupid password! But after 20 or so tries I finally got it to take something even though I had to write it down and I'll never remember it without my notes. But I digress....changing username? Is it possible? Currently it's set up for the strange name that TCH gave me but geesh I'll never remember that AND the password also! So help please? Thank you very much for your time after giggling and pointing and asking whether this person is capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. Minet
