I keep getting this error message when I try to get to FTP. It says it can't find the folder, and I have to have permission. This has happened everytime I've tried to log in for a couple weeks now.

I haven't done anything to change anything since the day I bookmarked it. How do I fix this?

I would like for the good community of Xepher to critique my webcomic. I've been getting some feedback from various people, but no one that really runs a webcomic.

So, you guys, I ask for your help! Please say anything you will about paneling, speech bubbles, art, plot (or lack thereof) colors, anything! This is to help improve what I can on my comic and to help  me take critique like a man! I'm trying not to make this a pitch as I am a 'Look and tell me what's wrong!' or, you know, if I'm doing anything right? ^^; Thank you so much, really, I appreciate it.

The basic idea of my comic 'Golden Crystals' is a fantasy epic sort of comic. There's no intentional punchline at the end of each page. The plot-arch as of now is in the middle of the first, so things are a bit confusing, but that's kinda where I want it, but you tell me what you think of that.

please please Please give me whatever feedback you can! I really appreciate it!

First: YEEAAAAHHH! I finally got everything working and connected!!

Moving on- I have ads on my site. I don't know how, because I know that Xepher is ad-free. I was just wondering if someone could look at my index file and see what I have done wrong.

I basically copied and pasted my HTML from my other site (On a host that was supported by ads) and I thought I had cleared out all the scripts for ads, but I guess not. I read, and reread my file carefully, even used the original layout file and redid everything and the weasel is still there!

I just want to say thank you in advance, the Xepher forum is the fastest help I've ever recieved and very patient. I'm very impressed with the help I get from the people who volunteer their time to answer questions I'm sure are trivial and have been answered for the 13,098,870 time. Thanks!

Does this topic belong here?

Anyway, I'm sure this is a common question, and probably very trivial, but so far (to my knowledge) I've loaded PHP and unzipped, sorted, changed, folded, and pressed everything in the right places and everything is pretty much where it should be to work. But I'm hung up on one little detail.

To test if ActiveScript is working, create a new file, named test.wsf
   (the extension is very important) and type:


 



   Save and double-click on the file. If you receive a little window
   saying "Hello World!" you're done.
~ 'Install.txt' for PHP

So my question is this: 'New file' what? And how?

I tried notebook, and after that obvious failiar I had to go to bed because it was 4 in the morning and I was going crazy. Would someone please help me with this? I have no friends that understand computer speak.

I'm just starting my website and I've been searching and reading through all the topic on this page, help pages, etc. Anyway, I was just a little confused on how the comic is updated?

Im sorry if this question has already been stated, or been answered. Is there any other 'tutorial' or help thing besides this forum and the 'Help and Info' page?

Temp site: I don't have one for this specific series of art, but I do maintain a journal, where I independently control HTML and update fairly often. I can do my own layouts, and I know the general HTML codes, so it's nothing real new to me ^^.
 
The gist of the story: It begins as a sort of Alice in Wonderland with our first character, Samantha. While walking her dog, King, to her cousin's house, King spots a rabbit, and as any dog would, goes nuts and starts dragging Samantha behind him. There's something strange about this rabbit though, but Sam doesn't really get to think about that as she is dragged into a patch of woods. She slips on a rock and knocks her head on the solid ground, promptly passing out.

She dreams of a strange world. There's a brother and sister that are fighting over her, a pompous princess who thinks Samantha's a terrorist, two men that seem to think she's someone else, and this girl, who seems insignificant, but is friendly nonetheless. This world is Tutom.

We find out that this world was created by a group of gods who gave certain gifts to their favored people in different countries, in the form of elemental power, harnessed through a crystal embedded on their forehead. Gods were allowed to influence and bestow gifts, but never appear to their people. Well, one goddess broke that rule by falling in love with the king of her people, and he, in turn, fell in love with her.

He, Syde, lost his grip on sanity over the years and neglected his people because he was so love-stricken, thinking that everyone was attempting to claim her. So, his country descended into anarchy and its armies started to attack neighboring countries. This led to a huge world war and ended with Syde's country being shattered to pieces.

Syde, although insane, still sought revenge, sending his children to kill the heirs of his enemies. A nice thought, but his children didn't go through with it. Instead of killing them, his daughter kidnapped two heirs. Her brother brainwashed both, throwing one into a hostile country where she would be a slave, and the other simply vanished.
 
Fourteen years later, we have Samantha (actual name: Whini) in the midst of this, confused out of her mind. Whini discovers that she is one of the missing princesses immediately upon arriving in this foreign land. Several key characters are revealed at this time, including the identities of the two men (visiting princes), and the other missing heir, a slave girl going by the name Youthere. This motley gang decided to travel back to one of the prince's homelands, where they will be safe from rebels, a hostile army, and the children of Syde.
 
That's the basic story line, so in summary it's an odyssey type thing.

One more thing, sorry ^^. Everyone had a crystal on their forehead that bestowed them certain powers (a gift of the gods), but as time went on, power corrupted people, and leaders were appointed. Those who weren't high ranking were forced to rip their crystals out. Few people loathed this idea, refusing to do so and rushing into hiding. The only people permitted to have crystals in modern day Tutom are Royals. So the band of traveling heroes have to keep their bloodlines secret because anyone could be a rebel, or easily mistake them as rebels.
