Hi tabulas! I want to send you a check to get a paid account.. who do i make it out to and do you need any information with it such as my username and password or ID or anything like that? Thanks and keep up the great work! I LOVE TABULAS!!! ;D
Comment posted on July 12th, 2004 at 12:26 AM
The information can be found on <a href="http://www.tabulas.com/?paid">http://www.tabulas.com/?paid</a> (at the very bottom!)

It does help to enclose a small note that tells me your username ... but you can fire that off in an email after you send it 8)

Thanks for your support!

Can I get a paid account for a shorter amount of time? Like if I paid $14 or something (basically not $28) could I get half a year of having a paid account?

The user/community directory should come back online within a week or so... I just ran into some internet connectivity problems (can\'t transfer files from laptop to the computer wired to \'net), so it\'s been a bit delayed... 8)

Well, I\'m not exactly sure where to put this but there\'s something odd with the template editting page. The button to save your html etc, has moved and doesn\'t work.. so yeah.. maybe this isn\'t the right place.

QUESTION: I would like to purchase a paid account for a couple of friends who has a free account. I always use paypal to purchase. How would I go about letting you know that I\'m paying for my friend\'s Tab page?

You can just pay via PayPal and then fire off the e-mail to the main email to let me know which accoutns to upgrades 8)

I love to use tabulas so much. It is the best journaling website. But, for the whole last month (June), I couldn\'t access both tabulas and my page in South Korea, however it can be viewed by my friends in Malaysia. Until today, I clicked on the link from the notification email and found out that it works again. Why is that so? How can this problem be prevented in the future?

I\'m currently in Korea and have had no problems accessing Tabulas.

Hey. Is it possible to set my background as a picture? As in I don\'t want my background as a colour only, I want it to be a picture of a cartoon or something. Is it possible?

Hi! I just wanna ask for help in one thing. When I attach a picture, they are automatically added into my galleries. As aresult, they appear smaller than normal. Why\'s that?
Comment posted on June 30th, 2004 at 02:07 AM
Um, after the server crash, seems like the time is off by 1 hour.
Comment posted on June 28th, 2004 at 04:13 PM
if anyone could please answer this question, i\'d be very thankful: if i want my background to be clear, what would i put as the code?

thank you for listening and help please!! haha
Comment posted on June 28th, 2004 at 12:44 AM
bug report:
Gallery output code is truncating long names, therefore the pictures don\'t show up (however, i did check that the files actually exist).

thanks!

eg.
In the gallery: <a href="http://www.tabulas.com/~spaceinthewho/gallery/album131/">http://www.tabulas.com/~spaceinthewho/gallery/album131/</a>

this is happening:

I just made a content page and i get this error at the top of my page, even though the page is created. Though you might be interested

Um, what does this warning mean? \"Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_hostconnect: connect failed in /home/virtual/site170/fst/var/www/html/private/inc/xmlFunctions.php on line 57

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to xml.tabulets.com:80 in /home/virtual/site170/fst/var/www/html/private/inc/xmlFunctions.php on line 57\" It makes it so I can\'t see most of my smiley faces.

FYI, crossposting to LiveJournal is producing the following error:

===

Logging in to server...

Error logging on:
Client error: No username sent.

===

The error doesn\'t lose the entry, but it does necessitate pushing another button for LJ to accept the entry. I have specified my LJ username in my Tabulas settings and it worked very well for me for months. It\'s only been doing this for the last week or two (maybe more, but I haven\'t been posting often enough to pin it down closer).

Temporarily??? Its been probably more than a year haha :). But I just wanted to remind you guys. I guess I get bored sometimes, so I wanna read other ppl\'s tabulas :D.

Thank you for the reminder. I just backed up everything, something that I had neglected to do previously.
Comment posted on June 17th, 2004 at 09:05 PM
It\'s too much stress on the server to process that much. That\'s why the original, two-field song/book add-ons were changed to single-field ones.
Comment posted on June 17th, 2004 at 08:57 PM
I\'m thinking backups should be made with milestones, not dates.

In 100 days, I can post 150 entries. I think it would be better to be able to back up the files every, say... 50 entries. That way, people can have an even more recent version on their computers.
Comment posted on June 16th, 2004 at 01:35 AM
Holy ****. Thanks for the reminder. *goes to update her backup*
