I don't know what the heck is going on with my web space. I upload, then next day they're gone. Today I went to upload for the 3rd time and I get this message: "Our World has recently experienced some technical difficulties. Some pages are no longer accessible, or may not contain edits you may have made recently. We regret any inconvenience this has caused, and apologize." One of the reasons I have been sticking with compuserve is the 20 mb webspace. I now suspect that what they really mean is 20 mb webspace as long as no one wants to look at your stuff. I appears that they now delete files that are accessed to many times, then say "technical difficulties" or "we don't know what happened". AOL (same company BTW) did the same thing just before I canceled my service. Well, I'll try one more time to upload tonight, after that I'll be shopping for a new ISP & web space. If you need Thip's stuff & don't want to risk the download (again) then give to your e-mail address so I can mail them.

• then give ME your e-mail Grrrrr, mad at compuserve.... grrrrr, hissss, spit....

shadowcat if you're in the US, you may want to check into AT&T. They did just raise their price from &7.00 to $14.95USD/month but that includes 6 email addresses (10mb mailbox) & 60 megs of web space & they do allow outside linking of images or files. the only drawback being that the webspace is broken up into 6 individual blocks of 10 megs each (1 for each email addy) so you couldn't upload anything over that size but for a series of smaller files it's worked perfectly for me. also AFAIK they have no bandwidth limits (or at least I haven't found one yet :-) & I've been hosting Blackhearteds' Angelyn & Ironbears' Dangerous Curves in addition to my own freebies there.

Yup USA here, & in a fairly big city so all of the big providers are available. Hmm, sounds good, it's even cheaper. I'll get less webspace (CS gives total of 140 mb, over 7 screen names, $21.95/month) but then if I can't use the damn space then it shouldn't count.

as much as I hate to sound like an AT&T pimp :-) the strongest recommendation I can give is on their reliability. In just over a year I've only had 1 occasion where I couldn't logon (& tht lasted less than an hour) & only 6 unscheduled disconnections & I've never been shut out on FTP access to my files. connect speeds for a dial up are excellent too... usually in the 46-48K range

Our World has recently experienced some technical difficulties. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Remember the last time the gravity went out, and we had to cling to rocks and trees for an entire week until the Powers-that-Be cleaned the squirrels' nests out of the generators?

lol, I never even noticed how that sounded. BTW, CS calls their members webspace area "Our world"

I just read Little Dragon's post -- Can't stop laughing!!!!!!

heyas; for hosting, i like www.warped.com. they start at $5 per month, but they do charge for space used and bandwidth used, so check out the rates for what you expect your usage to be. and, of course, they are not an isp, if you're looking for a new one of those.

Hey L.D.: Could you talk to the powers that be and ask them if next time they'd turn that gravity thingy back on a little slower ?? Not all of us had a tree to grab on to last time. either that or plant more trees??

I can try, bikermouse, but my only contact with Them is through He-Who-Sits-On-The-Porch-And-Knows-Many-Things, and quite honestly, He isn't that reliable with messages. You might get faster results if you plant the trees yourself.

L.D. is "He-Who-Sits-On-The-Porch-And-Knows-Many-Things" related to "He-Who-Waits" ? In the meantime I'm gunna go find some more trees to plant. The City of Fresno keeps digging them all up though. Seems they don't want me planting trees.
