Usericons have been temporarily disabled while we rework some of the site architecture. They shouldn't be down for too long (~2 hours).

Edit: They should be back up and running once again. Thanks for your patience!

How do you make custom layouts on here? Is there a site where I can get free custom layouts? I know html I just don\'t understand the way tabulas works. Of course, a fever doesn\'t help me in any way.

I need help. I want to change my username from peachjello to wapoofkee, but I don\'t remember my old e-mail. Is there a way for tabulas to send me my information to my new email - pandabear90@sbcglobal.net?
Comment posted on April 24th, 2004 at 02:02 PM
Short answer: no. You are responsible for remembering your own email.

Is it possible to change my name without loosing all of my entries and settings?

Yes.

<a href="http://www.tabulas.com/private/update.php?page=name">http://www.tabulas.com/private/update.php?page=name</a>

Put in your new username, email you currently use for the account along with current password. Then if your username was successfully changed you\'ll be logged out to log in with your new username and your journal will no longer be <a href="http://www.tabulas.com/users/fiki">http://www.tabulas.com/users/fiki</a>, it will be whatever you changed your username to.

And please move the grey bar to the top of your template; you\'re currently violating our TOS.

I\'m not sure; it\'s a problem on your end. I\'m guessing you\'re using a bad browser. Try switching to a different browser... or if you have a friend, have them try to upload an image to their account so I can be sure it\'s not a problem on my end.

I could not find a written privacy agreement on you web site. Do you sell or otherwise make your customers e-mail addresses available to third party or other companies?
Thanks
Comment posted on April 22nd, 2004 at 02:28 AM
And to answer your questions, no. If we do \'sell\' any personalized data, it will be demographic data (anonymous to individual users) and will probably only be used for research purposes.

Don\'t worry :)

I just redesigned my blog, and have some major tweaking to do, but I\'ve noticed I\'ve had a problem for a while now, in my \"friends of\" page. This problem has occured for several months, maybe since mid-January.

Users often appear out of nowhere on my page, and often times I am left with a jumble of empty entries and other garble. these messages never have a username specified, usually just a usericon.

My friend, chewy_mewy, also has the same problem in his journal.

Is my page bringing up random entries from the SQL database?

---

I love what you\'re doing with Tabulas, and I\'m really concerned about the monetary issues that you are having to deal with. But, what about <a href=\"http://www.google.com/ads\" target=\"new\">AdWords</a> on the front page? Or, decreasing the amount of features free users have? It\'s simply gotten out of hand. Each week, more and more people sign up, and then post maybe once or twice ever. Or the people who only use it for gallery space, though that is explicitely forbidden.

Or what about Tabulas merchandise? Blogger and Journalspace market t-shirts and hoodies, maybe you could too.

Just suggestions.
Comment posted on April 22nd, 2004 at 02:27 AM
Thanks for the suggestions. Can you link me to the specific page with the error? I can take a look at the SQL statement generating that data and pinpoint the error. I\'m guessing there\'s corruption on your friends-list and Tabulas is defaulting to grabbing some random user\'s data.

As for your financial concerns, I am concerned as well :) However, there are more plans in the works that wil indeed limit the power of free accounts ... as well as \"forcing\" AdWords onto all free user templates after a certain usage period. These changes are all occuring once we launch the new CP, which has been in the works for a few weeks now.

uhm...... you\'re really gonna limit us? that\'s a shame.. you really might as well make this site exclusively for paid user if it\'s gonna be that way.
Comment posted on May 2nd, 2004 at 04:50 AM
1.) You have no idea what the limits are, so you really can\'t speak to it.

2.) If I felt the limits were so constraining that it would better if everyone paid, why would I place the limits? I could just close off registration unless you pay.

Please do not complain about a <strong>free</strong> service until you have a legitimate complaint. It really bothers me when people expect everything for free without any limitations. I have bills to pay too, you know. 8)

It\'s at <a href="http://www.tabulas.com/~exodus/friendof.html">http://www.tabulas.com/~exodus/friendof.html</a>

I tried filtering out my friends of list, but it still didn\'t work.

And here\'s chewy_mewy\'s:

Also I have 64 images in my gallery, but xxglittergothxx my friend can\'t add more then 30 images. It says limit reached... Why?
Comment posted on April 21st, 2004 at 12:35 PM
Probably because the limit on your friends\' account is 30 while yours is 75. The limits were changed as more people started using Tabulas.
Comment posted on April 20th, 2004 at 08:38 PM
For the whole \"my friends of don\'t show up\" I noticed that if I remove people as friends, they start appearing there...why?
Comment posted on April 21st, 2004 at 10:06 AM
I replied to your comment the last time with a link to an entry that explained it.

Wild guess: your \"friends of\" page didn\'t work before because no one was listed there. When you remove people from your \"friends\" list, the two of you are no longer \"mutual\" friends. However, since he or she probably still has you on their list, they\'ll appear on your \"friends of\" page. Although, I never really understood the point of such a page.
Comment posted on April 21st, 2004 at 12:36 PM
Its just to find new friends.

Comment posted on April 20th, 2004 at 04:56 AM
I have a problem in my site. As I just change my nick from _lil_liu_ to _FiRefLy_, so when I press the \"links\" or whatever thing on my site, the URL says that my username is still the old one. How do I change it to my new username?
Comment posted on April 20th, 2004 at 02:45 AM
how can i change the size of the pictures that i attach to my entries? so that they would show bigger when i view my site?
Comment posted on April 20th, 2004 at 05:54 AM
You can\'t change the size of the attachment sizes; if you want to embed larger images to your entries, manually create the HTML.
Comment posted on April 20th, 2004 at 02:20 AM
excuse me but i just posted an entry right now but when i viewed my site, the entry was incomplete. it wasnt displaying the whole entry i typed in...but when i view it from my control panel, it is intact.

what is happening? please reply.

thanks!

You have malformed HTML (you created a bad link tag).

Hi there, Can you please add the \"Day\" on the \"Entry Date\" for all the tabulas entries. I tried entering the same codes that you have but it didn\'t work. I really preferred it with the \"day and the date together, please. Thank you and I appreciate your time.

What does inputting the name of your referrer do, on the register page? Does the referrer get any sort of bonus?

Why doesn\'t my friends of link work once I make my own template?
Comment posted on April 18th, 2004 at 01:01 AM
Probably because you are linking the wrong page.
Comment posted on April 18th, 2004 at 05:07 PM
And what\'s the right link? Because I didn\'t change the link when I made a new template. I just used the existing color scheme and adding an image and background.
Comment posted on April 18th, 2004 at 07:25 PM
It looks like you filtered out your friends of page. That\'s why it\'s not showing up; you told Tabulas to quit displaying it.
Comment posted on April 18th, 2004 at 08:09 PM
No I mean on my navigation. On my menu! It says no entries posted yet I do have friends of.

Comment posted on April 18th, 2004 at 09:59 PM
it\'s easy. go to your control panel. click the styles tab. then scroll to the very bottom and uncheck Filter your \"Friends Of\" list and then submit changes. you should be good after that.
Comment posted on April 19th, 2004 at 10:42 AM
I\'m talking about the navigation...

LovlieVibe (guest)

Comment posted on April 19th, 2004 at 02:12 PM
yea i know, but if you change that option in your control panel then when you click the link in your menu you will see your friends of entries. it won\'t say that there aren\'t any messages.

i think that\'s what roy was trying to tell you to do.
Comment posted on April 19th, 2004 at 04:04 PM
It was already filtered so I unfiltered it and still nothing.
