Hello! My name is Jennifer Anderson and I'm the listowner to a new RP called "Infinity's End" . . . and after a bit of trouble, I finally found this list I was suppose to subscribe to and hopefully this is still the right one. I was just wondering how do I get on the phoenyx irc channel? I wasn't certain if I just put in phoenyx.net in the server part, then 6667 in the port...oh well. Any help with this would be greatly apperciated. ~JL Anderson -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

Sorry that you had trouble. Can you explain what was confusing or troublesome? I can try to make my instructions formletter clearer or reorganize something to make things easier. Thanks! -- Carl D Cravens (raven@phoenyx.net) I came. I saw.

Well, I couldn't find where I would subscribe to this list, so I just guessed it was like the rest and put -on on it. So I figured that out...and when I went to use the IRC, I kept on putting in 6667 instead of 7776 for the ports, because that was what I believe was on the webpage. Other then that everything has been pretty clear and I have gotten use to everything. What was in the letter was very useful and told me mostly everything I needed to know. I only have two questions now. How much space do I get for the webpage? All I have to say is that it is really, really helpful to have webspace that doesn't clutter my page with ugly animated advertizments :) . . . also, are there archives of our mailing lists messages anywhere? Do they go to any folder on the phoenyx page? Well, thanks for everything! This has made the process of having our RPG a lot easier and more fun for me to manage. ~Jennifer -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

Yep, the port changed very recently, on account of there were too many people just stumbling across the server and *not* reading the webpage. The webpage changed at the same time, then changed back for awhile when I overwrote it with an older version (oops), but is correct now. >I only have two questions now.

Do they go to any >folder on the phoenyx page? Go to http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/webeditor.html, which is the old webeditor page. Almost everything there has been moved to the main listowners page, but the navbar HTML hasn't been moved yet, and when you put that on your page, the HTML-ized archives go to the Web Read button. As far as webspace, since Lynn gave us a Big Honkin' Drive(tm), we've got more disk space than we know what to do with. Our only limitation is bandwidth, so you can put as much stuff as you want, so long as you don't make it something that every single visitor hits. That is, if you have a spectacular full-color map, don't make it your front-page graphic, make it something that have to specifically click when they want it. Basically, look at the Phoenyx main page... minimal frivolous graphics, so that the page loads fast. And my personal philosophy is that animations are evil and background WAV/MIDI's are worse (at least IE actually lets you shut off animation, but the turning off sound part doesn't work. Nothing quite like surfing from work and suddenly having your speakers blare out some completely unrelated (and usually awful) sound. Don't even get me started on the fact that the company I *work* for has extremely annoying sound on its web page:I mean, if you've got Windows, go play the Musica exclamation sound. Annoying, isn't it? Now think about that boingboingboingboung twenty cotton-pickin' times. What the heck has *that* got to do with banking, I want to know?) Of course, once we get DSL, most of our bandwidth problems are over. But you still have to remember that the average person will not wait more than five to ten seconds for a web page to load enough to catch their interest. -- Karen J.

Ha ha...well, I love my midi and I don't think I can part with it :D ha ha ha....anyways, I would have it one of those ones where you can turn it off on the page, but I never found the code to do so. ~Jennifer -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

Okay, the problem was entirely my fault... Karen totally rewrote the listowner utilities page and my instructions no longer match it in any way. (Being co-owner, I *should* be looking at these things as soon as I hear they've changed.) Now I have to go re-learn the new listowner process. -- Carl D Cravens (raven@phoenyx.net) I'm not lost, I'm "locationally challenged". -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners
