I'm wondering if its just me, or if anyone else might be having the same problem.  When I go to try to use my Freewebs accounts, it will only upload pics one at a time....literally.  I get one pic loaded, and then the page siezes.  OR I can try to edit a page ~ ONE page, and then it freezes again.   bear_angry

Is anyone else having this problem, or should I contact Freewebs??  Its been going on for almost a month now, and I wasn't sure if it was just me and my computer.  We have the newest, whiz-bang Microsoft Vista that came with the new laptop   :twisted:   Maybe that's what's causing some of the trouble??

I have been trying for about 4 months to learn how to get around the problems. I just went to using the picture trail photo shows. I have a problem also if I go into edit , my page drops down about 6 inches and leaves a big gap if you submit it !! So then I have to go in and do the whole page over. So yes I have been having trouble for some time. We wrote back and forth and I did every thing they said except for down load Fire fox or what ever it is . Hubby said NO because it messed up lap tops at work ... now weather he is correct or not is debateable. But if you look at mine I have gotten around it some what. I have tried looking at other web builder sights but they are to hard for me.At least for now anyway . Good luck dear heart , I know it makes your blood boil !! It does mine !!! I have other problems also on there. The type doesn't work, seize, color !! So yes I am suffering also.

I'm really sorry to hear you're suffering as well, Jodi, but thankful at the same time that its not just me.  To be honest, I think its because they've gotten so big.   I'm sure being Free, everyone and their dog has got webpages....well, I've got two for Blossom!  bear_rolleyes   So I think the popularity might be making it that much harder to use. 

I have to agree with your hubby over the Firefox.  Anytime we've tried to utilize it on our previous laptop, or even this laptop.....its like 'something' takes over  bear_sad   I'm not sure if its just the way the system itself runs, as so many people seem to have such an easy time of it, but we've had no joy, and every time we've tried to uninstall it, it won't go away!  Its like it gets buried into the systme, even though we've asked nicely to 'go away now, please'.

I tried a different freebie website last night called Bravenet as I was so disgusted with the glitches, but once I got there, everything was in HTML...and I'm a computer numpty  :doh:  :redface:   I'll have to wade back in and see if there's anything I can utilize to help resize the photos, but offhand, it didn't look anywhere near as numpty friendly as Freewebs has been. 

Personally, I just want my Freewebs back to running the way it was, as it was SOOOOO easy to use  bear_wub

Yes it

was

so easy to use ...although it never did work 100% for me. But at least 9o ... but now!! GEE I have to monkey rig my way around, but so far I can fudge it !! Some day when I grow up and be computer savey I may be able to design my own sight ... but for now this will have to do. Good luck my friend. Thanks for the info on Fox fire. I thought maybe hubby was  UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM nuts !!!

I have a freewebs website I set up to document my dad's recovery from illness, and I have soooooo much trouble with it.  Mainly with adding photos.  It's so annoying it's come to the point that I just don't update it anymore......

LOL....nope, hubby was right this time...at least that's what we've found  bear_ermm

Sorry to hear everyone else is having such troubles with the photos, same as me.  I know how frustrating it is!!!!  So much so that my webpages are struggling to be updated  bear_sad   And it used to be such fun for me.  I tend to be a bit of a control freak, so I adore being able to fiddle with and change my websites about easily.  But that HTML code just leaves me boggled  bear_wacko   I see all the 'jibberish' and my mind starts to shut down.  I'm a very visual person, so I don't look at a pic and say I want it x amount of pixels high or wide, I want to see the actual pic, and be able to resize it as I want, same with the colour. 

I know, I[m picky....just wish it could go back to being easy to use again  bear_flower
