! update

Hello you glorious people you.

I am excited to say that my directory is back and image corrected! Images on all posts should be working again. I'd like to thank bajah for being absolutely marvelous and going out of his way today to help me make sense of domains and get things set up for iconners. What a prince! Also a thank you to doingthemost for helping me learn in the first place how to use correct urls for images. /facepalm I'm a work in progress. I still have space if any other iconners need to host their stuff.

So I'm back on the capping train! I know some of you iconners are busy backing up your old files right now and might not have time for new ones. I'll keep working on requests, but let me know if you'd like me to pause on yours until you're ready!

	Dude it is SO CONFUSING. SO SO SO SO CONFUSING. I think I'm getting like a mild hang of the simple things to make things work, lol, but it's daunting to think about actually attempting to eventually create a working website, since that's what I'll be doing next. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kopi 2017-07-05 01:25 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, depends on the cms too I think it's not toooooo bad if you're working with others. Like I only did front end when I was interning so I didn't have to do much ftp etc.; and even when I had to, it wasn't to link "out" to another site. I am a bit rusty, I forget the terminology >_> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm learning it all for the first time. I would have legit been lost if Matt hadn't walked me through it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kopi 2017-07-05 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	so what was the problem with the image links? I kind of figured you were copying the wrong address, since it seemed like the same problem on both posts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly it's because I didn't understand how to make the official urls. I didn't get that now you have to write out the mediageekalert.com/folder/image.png. Now it makes perfect sense it was just that step that wasn't computing in my brain. I showed the others how to do the same for their icons too so I wasn't alone with having that like ???? lol.

	kopi 2017-07-05 01:58 pm UTC (link)
	huh I'm curious what you wrote our for the url before then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 02:05 pm UTC (link)
	Soooo what I did was find the image in my actual image folder on the cpanel, clicked "view" and copied that because I'm stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kopi 2017-07-05 02:09 pm UTC (link)
	ohhhh yeah no, not unless you have something that creates a new thumbnail like gdocs does it's ok! You're just beginning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 02:15 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly I even KNEW it looked completely wrong, I just didn't know how to fix it. It didn't help that I of course saw the image clear as day, it's just other people couldn't see it because it was supposed to be visible to me. I have it all now, and I was able to show people how to generate their own too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kopi 2017-07-05 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	Haha yeah. It's like how you can see a certain font that you've installed, but others can't. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	also I'm sorry if I sound patronizing or anything ;-; (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	Noooo not at all. I seriously need all the help I can get hahhaa. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I agree completely, it always reminds me of how tight this community can really be. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	YAY I am so glad you got it working! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yessss I actually had to leave bounceweb though :( they didn't reply to me after five days of requests and pleading e-mails so I couldn't get it up and running. The website STILL isn't propagated. I had to switch to Matt's group. Thank you for sending me in the right direction at least! And I used a lot of your advice regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hallow 2017-07-05 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	YEAH they haven't gotten back to my support ticket so I'm thinking of jumping over to namecheap tbh (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	I highly recommend the one Matt mentioned, AMS. They legit had my page up within AN HOUR of requesting it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hallow 2017-07-05 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	I was considering them but their TOS says they limit to 10,000 inodes (files) while Namecheap says 300,000 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-06 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I chatted with the help desk and they said they pretty much have never enforced the rule, it's in case someone uploads so many things the server messes up. The other people I know who have it have gone past 10k without trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hallow 2017-07-06 12:51 am UTC (link)
	OOH well that is good to know. I had a hard cap on Bounceweb. Do you have Cpanel access? Does it say anywhere what your file limit is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

This is what the nice customer rep told me (LITERALLY 30 MINUTES AFTER I PUT IN A TICKET, THESE PEOPLE ARE MAGIC): "That is not a hard limit, as long as your account did not cause issues on the server it would not be enforced. I don't recall it ever being enforced. So I would not be too concerned with that!"

Yes I'm in the Cpanel, hold on trying to see if I can find if it says limit anywhere.

	In the cPanel all I see is how much disc usage, and then unlimited domains, bandwidth, FTP accounts, databases, subdomains. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hallow 2017-07-06 12:58 am UTC (link)
	ooh nice. Mine looks like this with a big angry red bar :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-06 01:00 am UTC (link)
	MAYBE it's because I bought a specific amount of space? I bought the 80 gb one which is basically the same price as BounceWeb and since we're using so very little of that it's not even a tiny sliver on the disc space or general place. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	iseethelight 2017-07-06 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Yeah looking at this it seems like they actually rate things by disc space used, not by number of files. Which seems obvious if you buy a specific plan. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No worries! Happy to have helped :) Everything looks great! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	It's a learning curve for sure, but I already feel like I've absorbed a lot more than I expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doingthemost 2017-07-05 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	That's great! I work with websites (as project manager, not full developer) so if you have any other issues I'd be happy to help if needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-05 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	I totally will, thank you! I set up a Wordpress plug-in and Wordpress I somewhat know so that's less scary, but I'm sure I'll run into ... fifty million problems regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	And a thank you to you for being so generous and such a help <3 (Reply to this) (Thread)

	MY PLEASURE. I already see your icons up and it's exciting! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm trying to reupload old sets so will be spammy for a bit while I do that, but will go live after it's done so I don't clog up f-lists (you added me too early so I can't help you there :P) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
