Gav, sorry about the delay in reply. We did have a minor glitch with the uploader but that was corrected fairly promptly.

Rids, we do provide an insite search although that relies on Google having indexed the site. We understand that an alternative version might be of use but it takes time to investigate our options, plan and develop. And we already have the next few months well booked up with development plans. But it's an idea we have spoken about and may re-consider at a later point.

Heath, both PNG and GIF files can now be used in images effects, crop tools etc. We'll take your comments on board about the transitions - effects and timings.

Thanks

Hi, i still can't use masked png images in image effects. Can you confirm either way that this will or will not be possible in the near future please.
Could you also consider more transition effects, a longer delay time than 1 min and the ability to use moonfruit images and flash in transitions, like the flame ect., not just the ones you upload yourself.
These are the kind of things which gives greater creative freedom. thanks.

Hi, I think Moonfruit is a good resource, but it is missing one important feature.
An insite Search Facility! I think this would be a popular addition for the next month.

Hey guys

I was just wondering if there was a glitch with the file uploader at the minute?

Its allowing me to browse for an image but when I select one it doesnt appear in the file uploader box.

Do you have any ideas why? Its frustrating not being able to add new images!

Cheers, Gav

Hi Jeff,

Reasonable requests, we'll see what we can do, but no promises as we have a large backlog of requests to get through.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Hi, i've asked many of times in the wish list if it would be possible to have the Forum updated to show an Image URL??

I noticed that when it was first released that Joe said it has been set -up for this and would be updated but the main thing was to get it released...

i think it would attract a lot more people to our sites if the Users can display and image from an image Hosting Company such as www.photobucket.com

Your Calendar Widget allows this so wondered if you would add that to the forum? it would make it look so much more presentable, i hope you agree?

Also on the Message Board on our sites it has the facility to allow visitors to receive an email when a reply is posted, can this not be added to the Forum? it would bring people back to our sites.

Many Thanks, Jeff

SEO Question (duplicate content):

My website was originally showing example.com high in the SERPS, now it only seems to be showing example.com/home (homepage) and this tends to show up 10 pages lower with the same keywords.

Would Google not see my site example.com as duplicate content to example.com/home as they are both showing the same content?

Thanks

Hi Lee, thanks for the feedback. We'll certainly give your suggestion some thought.

Heath, yep the image effects widget should display PNG files. We've checked the code and we are not restricting these files from showing so we'll need to have a closer look. This has been raised as a bug and we'll try to sort this out as soon as we can although to be honest it will probably be a few weeks before it gets fixed, tested and released.

Hi again. I just noticed that you cannot use a png image for an image effect, which is a real shame and really limits the creative possibilities with masked png files, which ive just discovered. It's all a slow learning curve.
I don't yet know flash and have been trying to push what i can do with creating images, simple gifs, turning them into swf files and using the image effects, by creating lots of layers on a page.
I would like to be able to use masked png files in image effects to push things a bit further before i have to start learning flash.
Is that something which is possible to do and if so, is it something you would consider?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Walt...thanks for the reply about adding profiles with picture uploads etc. I appreciate it would be an intensive devlopment project. Have you considered making this feature only available to people on the max plan? or creating a Max+ plan for say an extra £5 a month on top of the max plan. This would go some way of covering costs and providing a premium service to those that are willing to pay a premium package.

Hi,

Photo Bag: Nothing concrete yet with regards to features on the new e-commerce tools, except to say it will be much better than the current offering. We are very keen though to offer unit options i.e. 1 unit with say size and colour selection. But we still need to discuss fully what we want to deliver. And the range of features will also govern how long it takes. Either way it will take us a few months to provide you with a useful alternative.

Terry: Building an interface for WebRing HTML is not something we could develop quickly and we have already agreed our development program of new features and software upgrades that will span the next 6+ months. I'll certainly mention your request to the developers.

Lee: Yep we get the picture. As with HTML inclusion this would be quite a bit of development work so it would be something we would have to carefully investigate and discuss to see if the time and resources spent on this would be of benefit to the customer base as a whole. But thanks for the suggestion it's certainly worthy of consideration.

Patrick: Sorry, can you give us more detail? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by converting existing files to a new domain name? If you wish to upgrade your package you don't need to convert anything. If you already have a domain name, unfortunately we don't offer transfer in (move your name from another provider to us) at present but that is coming soon. Just give us a few more details and we'll try to help.

I would really, really, really, really (you get the picture!) love a widget or something that people can add a profile(with custom fields set by admin) and upload their their photo(s) to that profile, which is displayed on the site and search box to search by age, sex, ect. etc. The possibilities of that are endless and I am desperate for this feature, infact I would have to upgrade to the max plan to do all the sites I have in mind for this feature!

The updates are terrific, and the domain names are much appreciated.

Would love to be able to join a Web Ring http://dir.webring.com/rw , which requires the ability to use JavaScript-based NavBar (SSNB). Any chance of including this in a future update?
