Back to the main faq Do you allow FTP ?: No, we only allow you to upload via the browser. You can now upload 10 files at once. Do you allow CGI files ? What file types do you allow ? : No, we only allow jpg, gif, wav, mid, class, css, js, jar, fla, swf, dcr, txt, htm, and html files. If you need another file type post it in the Help Forum Can you help me with HTML? : No sorry, at this time we cant as we have thousands of members. There are lots of excellent websites and resources to learn how to build websites. Check out the "Members Resources" section on the front page. There are also many good books on learning HTML. Dont forget to post any questions in the help forum. Im using frames and I have a banner in every frame ? : At this time we don`t fully support frames. The reason is we refuse to go to pop-up banners so we cant support multiple frames. The majority of people think that frames sites are annoying, especially when you get stuck in a frame. If you look at the majority of major websites and top search engines around the world you will notice they dont use frames. If you need a side menu bar its easy to make one with the "table" tag just as we have done on the Dreamwater home page. I have more than one banner on my page ? : The problem is with your HTML code, you probably have more than one "body" tag. In HTML you must only have one body tag per page.

If you dont get an e-mail within 4 hours re-apply for an account. I tried my password but it doesnt work: Watch how you type in the password as it is case sensitive, recheck the e-mail to make sure you get it correctly. also check you are using the correct username as it is written in the email.
