Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

When you go to the url that I provided and you click on the Baseball switchplate, it is supposed to take you to another page, but it does not...that is where I am having the problems.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

It shouldn't really matter but i noticed the link on the very first button on the left is linkling to http://weareswitchplates.com/baseball.html. Try changing this to http://www.weareswitchplates.com/baseball.html.

I had this problem once, thinking back now, and this seemed to cure it.

HTH

You must wait for up to 72 hours before the full URL has propogated throught the net......your link is correct but not fully available yet.......

Did not work....

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Your problem is simply that your domain name has not yet propagated on the net. I.e., your basketball page, for now will show up as

http://75.126.169.140/~hxdxtkij/baseball.html

but not as http://www.weareswitchplates.com/baseball.html

because simply http://www.weareswitchplates.com still doesn't exist on the net. Please wait 24 - 48 (usually much sooner) hours before the DNS propagation is complete.

<a href="http://www.weareswitchplates.com/baseball.html" target="_self"><img src="baseball_sign.jpg" id="Image2" alt="" align="top" border="0" width="126" height="189" style="position:absolute;left:88px;top:249px;width :126px;height:189px;z-index:2"></a>

Try Changing to

<a href="http://www.weareswitchplates.com/baseball.html">
<img border="0" src="buttonnext.gif" width="126" height="189">

You should be able to look at the hard code via BV to do this by clicking on a button within it. Not quite sure myself where it is as I don't use it but david might be able to tell you that one.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

OK, Navaldesign...I know exactly what you are saying, but even with naming the link http://75.126.169.140/~hxdxtkij/baseball.html it still does not come up when I click on it from the index.html page.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

WOW !! It finally worked !! Yay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[navaldesign]

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Because you probably had not refreshed the page. After you did, it worked.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Just make sure to change the links back to the original once your web address has been propagated on the net otherwise the links will probably not work again.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Direct (through IP address) links work always, even when the dns servers are down.
However, normal links are better for SE
