Ok take a look at my profile
http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=ShineyStarz
if you looked at it before it wasn't liek that. How do I get it to like move back? There's like a huge white spot down and everything's jsut pushed over.

you used a really long link in an answer, so the page was widened. There's no way to fix it, when the long link isn't on your column any more it will go back.

Does anyone know of any games that don't need to be downloaded and that are free (RPG) games. I play runescape, I like it a lot but I'm getting bored of it. Maybe something with multiplayers?

http://maidmarian.com
you will enjoy the "sherwood" game on that site, and maybe the others, too. You might like these:

Hey. Well, I'm thirteen and I'm in 7th grade. I get honors, but I think that might stop this term. See, I used to not love school, but I still didn't mind it,and I always did my homework and got good grades on pretty much everything [I'm only talking about this year, not before then]. But now, as it's into third term, I hate school.I find myself faking sick a lot, even though I've missed what, 11 days so far? I guess my point is, I hate school. I count down the days to the weekends. I don't do my homework and try to find the easy way out of everything. Now I'm really lazy and lie a lot to get out of doing things school related. I can't do this anymore, I need to get through this year. I thought it was because I needed a vacation, but now I've gone through the whole February vacation and I'm still not ready to go back. Please help, I can't do this anymore.

Try getting all your classes up or down to a C. Then if you're not stressed out and hating school, bring one important class(like math) up to a B. Continue upping your grades until you're getting stressed, then just try to maintain those grades. If you're still stressed at all Cs, then look at alternative education like private schools, charter schools, homeschooling, or online schools.

i tried to go to youtube on my phones web browser and it says blocked by websense you must have a frames capable browser to view all material on the rest of this page. i have an LG VX9800 thanks

Your internet provider blocked your phone from viewing the content. There's no way to bypass it. If you're using a wifi hotspot, the people who run it set up the blocks; if you're connecting to the internet using your wireless provider, they're blocking it. The frames warning is because the websense page has frames in it; getting a frames-capable browser won't allow you to view youtube. Sorry.

How can I report somebody that is younger than 13 and is on this website? Do I have to be a moderator? If it helps this person is 12 & they're already a moderator. They told me not to tell anyone but it just doesn't feel right...
thanks

Report it here:
http://www.advicenators.com/abuse.php
Include your proof, the moderators won't(or at least shouldn't) ban someone on one person's word only.

does anyone know how to make a navigation list, where the links are just regular, and then when you roll over them, each link has a different color.

here's an example
http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o228/leah_keepinitfresh/?action=view¤t=untitled-2.jpg

like, on home its pink,
pictures may be purple
then message may be yellow.

i looked it up on google, nothing helped me!
websites would be apprciated!

This would work best:




body:hover.blue{text-color:blue}
body:hover.green{text-color:green}



this div box will turn blue when the mouse is on it


this div box will turn green when the mouse is on it




You can replace with whatever you're using for the menu. You just put class="whatever is after the . in 'body:hover.whatever'". It's a pretty nifty trick, you don't even need any javascript. I'm not exactly sure what you want, if this wasn't it, send me the page that's from in a personal question and I'll help you.

are there any ways to download songs for free from a website without downloading a service (ex: limewire). i don't want to clog up and slow down my computer or get viruses

I usually use http://audio.altavista.com

what can i do to keep like 3 programs at oce open and not hav my computer slow significantly?
-i keep widow media player on
-aim
-and i play runescape all at once

i reall want to keep these 3 open

Buy more RAM. 512MB to 1GB will increase your performance. It'll be between $40 and $100 to buy that. Make sure you don't buy storage/hard drive/hard disk. Anything that advertises space of more than 2GB isn't RAM. To get RAM, go to best buy or wherever WITH YOUR COMPUTER, and say "I would like to buy 512 megabytes of RAM" or "I would like to buy 1 gigabyte of RAM". Make sure they install it; you won't be able to.

Very likely other people who answer this question will give the the advice to buy a bigger hard drive. Don't; that is a waste of money and not at all related to your problem.

does having 2 anti spy at once go against each other?
i use spybot search and destroy and i also hav yahoo protection from spyware and all

Usually not. It's not particularly useful to have them running at the same time though.

i know someone just asked about ripping dvds, and you answered with a google link. I have the same question, but i really don't know which of the things that came up were safe, and which work... i don't know anything about dvd ripping. Could you send me the link to a good one of those?

I havn't used any of the programs, but from looking at the pages on that search, I can say these are safe:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm
http://programurl.com/sc-free-dvd-ripper-and-burner.htm

how do you rip dvd's on your computer (not music from your cd but videos form your dvd). Because the teacher putted our dancing perfermane on a DVD and I want to rip it on the computer, upload it on youtube and put it on my site

only search advicenators.com

I was just wondering, how do you make those hearts that people keep putting after their names?
thx in advance!!~

Type ♥ , It'll turn into the heart. It only works on certain advicenators pages; it will show here without being transformed, but if you go to my column it will be a heart.

hey. ok so im making a layout site on myspace. and i was just wondering how do i get my layouts into a scroll box?

for a "form box", that doesn't need you to transform HTML characters into entities, do this:


stuff in the box


If that doesn't work on myspace, you can put use frames on your "home layout site", that isn't part of myspace, to show the layout in one frame and the code in another. To do that you make an HTML page with only this in it:

I'm trying to watch videos on YouTube and for some reason it's not working. It's saying 'you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player' but I've done what it says to turn JavaScript on (it already was on) and downloaded the new version of Flash but it's still not working.
It's never done this before.
Any ideas?

I made a little detector for you:
http://www.geocities.com/theymos/javascript.html
It will tell you if you have javascript and flash working, and help you. It sounds to me like you have javascript disabled, there are instructions on that page on how to enable it.
