Forum rules:

- The thread topic should be descriptive and tell us something about your problem, so "help!" or "I don't know what to do" is not a good choice.

- Neither the text nor the topic should be in all caps/bold/....

- Use the Search before posting.

- Describe your problem, so that we can understand it. We don't know what to do if you just say "this is not working".

Q: Can I split my files if they are bigger than 1MB?
A: No. For an alternative, see http://board.funpic.org/topic,9129.html

Q: Can I have a website in a language other than English and German?
A: No. Those sites cannot be monitored and therefore will be deleted, often without notice. The reason we cannot allow other languages is that we have no reasonable way of verifying that the contents are legal.

Q: Can I have a website in English/German and another language, translated word for word?
A: Sorry, we have no reasonable way to verify translations, therefore this is NOT allowed.

Q: Can I have illegal or questionably legal material on my site?
A: No. Your site will certainly be deleted, often without notice.

Q: Why do I have problems connecting with FTP or getting a directory list with FTP?
A: Make sure any firewall or router you have is set up properly. If you have Windows XP SP2, disable the Windows Firewall. Use ZoneAlarm instead.

Q: Why does my FTP program stop transferring files sometimes, even though they aren't over 1MB?
A: Check your FTP client's settings. If you see something called "Maximum transfers" or "Maximum connections", make sure it is set to "1". [Thanks whunters]

Q: Do I have to post to get free hosting?
A: No! you don't have to do anything. But linking back to Funpic is appreciated

Q: Is Perl/CGI available?
A: No. Almost any Perl script out there has an equivalent PHP script. You can and are encouraged to use PHP.

Q: I don't want to look for MySQL and FTP access info. What are they?
A: Fine, be lazy For MySQL, the database name is your username (you cannot create or delete databases and you only have one that you must activate), the username for your database is your username, the pasword for your database is your Funpic password, and the server address of the database is localhost. For FTP, the port is default (21), the server address is username.us.funpic.org and you use your Funpic username and password.

Q: How do I use a custom charset?
A: You can either use a META tag or if you are using PHP, you can use the header() function.
