how long does it take for you to get your confirmation email? its been hours, and ive submitted more than one

Usually you're not supposed to submit more than once... Make sure that you gave them the correct email address... Also try checking your spam folder if you have filters... If all else fails, email deviantART...

hey, Sometimes i dont eat for up to two days to try to look better. When i dont eat , it makes me look much skinnier, but i feel really weak. Is it safe to be doing this. Its not like im throwing up every thing i eat or anything. What should i do??

This is bad for you... You shouldn't be starving yourself, besides depriving your body of the nutrients that it needs, this will also slow down your metabolism, so when you eat again you'll gain more weight... If you want to be thin, don't eat junk food and exercise more...

Hi!
I was just wondering, how do I add columnists to my fave list? Do they have to have answered my questions or what? It's just that I can't see any kind of 'add to favourites' link on their pages. Thanks!
Blessed Be,
Rach xxx

The link should start with http://www.advicenators.com/favorite.php?mode=add&u= A number should go at the end, and you can find this number if you mouseover their "Ask me for advice" link... For example, to ask me a question you have to go to http://www.advicenators.com/question.php?u=5007
so to add me as a favourite columnist you would go to http://www.advicenators.com/favorite.php?mode=add&u=5007

I have this program on my computer called ShowBiz, and I made this pretty cool slide thingy on it. Anyway, I was wondering if I could upload my creation to the internet, and if there are any free sites that I could upload it on. The format thing my creation is saved under is .sbz if it helps..PLEASE HELP!!!

www.freewebs.com should allow it, and if it doesn't, put it in a zip file, which Freewebs definitely allows...

I keep trying to start a blog but I have yet to find a site that lets you have a free blog and that works. I have tried about 10 blogging websites and not a one I liked or worked. (kept saying I had reached the page in error when I tried to edit, Happened with about 4 of the blog sites)
I have thought of making my own web page but I don't know HTML quite enough. With a blog I know I could work on it and figure it out. Plus its not as big as a entire web page.

If any of you know any good blogging websites thats cool or if you know why I might keep getting the error pages, it would be totally helpfull.

What have you tried? I recommend greatestjournal.com because it offers several premade layouts for you to choose from while also allowing you to make your own styles from scratch... It also allows you to upload 1000 icons and 1000 pictures, and this is something that is not provided by any of the other journal sites that I know of. This is all for free...As for the error, your security settings are probably too high. You need to allow your browser to send referrer information.If you're using Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy and set it to Medium (or click Advanced to change individual options if you know what you're doing)...If you're using Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies and check Allow sites to set cookies, but uncheck for the originating website only.If you're using another browser, check your privacy settings. If it still doesn't work, you might have a firewall that's blocking the cookies, and you'll need to check the settings for that.

My computer was being really weird, I lost all the icons on the desktop and couldent shut down properly. So I shut it down the wrong way, waited a few seconds..and turned it back on. Now the start menu wont show up and the icons are gone. I got onto internet explorer in a weird way and yeah. I messed up the computer so what do I do now? How can I get the start menu to show up and stuff? Thanks!! Please help!! I rate 5's!

Right click your desktop, and make sure that "Show Desktop Icons" under "Arrange Icons By" is checked.
If it's checked and the icons aren't there, there's probably a virus on your computer... Get antivirus (Here's a free one) if you don't already have it, update it and scan your computer if you do... Also get Spybot S&D to scan for spyware...
If none of these help, you'll probably need to reinstall Windows or even get a new computer...

How do you get a new cursor on your column? I have the cursor and links and everything but i don't know where to put the links so the cursor will show up. Also, where do i put the music links? thanks!

Music is not allowed since the <embed> tags that are needed for music can cause security problems... Cursor codes go in the describe yourself box in your profile OR in the column style if you have access to that...

My computer for some odd reason just started to go very slow, and akes awhile for everything to load on it. We just took it to a 'computer doctor' in may, and its doing the same things over again. We have more popups and the internet doesnt come up right away now. So, Instead of paying another 70$ to get it fixed again, what exactly do I have to do to stop all of this? Even as I type this now, the popups keep coming and interupting me. I just cant stand this anymore, can someone just please tell me wht to do!? Thank you very much.

I got one of my friends who had PSP 7, and I downloaded from them on AIM. But it won't run, and I don't know how to put it on a disc. I really need help!

*I'll rate 5 for the first person who answers it right*

It would be easiest to borrow the CD, but if you can't do that, ask your friend to copy everything on the CD into a zipped archive and send that to you on AIM... When you receive the zip file, unzip it to a new folder on your desktop and open autorun.inf, which will tell you which file to open next (it should be something like start.exe or setup.exe)
