Hey there Danno1
How's tricks?
Have you finalized the "catwalk" video code yet?

I do need your help:

When you and I were designing my template (658GreeneStreet) you used a hotlinkfiles.com storage for my flash banner. (It was the only way we could get it to flash)
I just noticed that my banner is gone and I get the big ole message across the top of my listings:

File not found!
The file you requested does not exist. It may have been deleted or the URL is incorrect.
Visit hotlinkfiles.com

So I am wondering, was the banner something you were hosting on your own page and you've deleted it or ...??

I think I was getting tired of that banner anyway, and wanting a new static graphic, but I thought I'd run the issue by you for your expert input!

Hi Deb,

You need to login to your account at hotlinkfiles and check what's up. One site requirement is to login every 30 days to maintain a free account (see FAQs), but they send reminders before they delete an account. It's also possible your limit has been reached on free use (unless you have a paid account).

The New Design listing page design might work better with long narrow banners to go with placement of the Store strip above the banner or an inclusion to augment that section. I'm looking (again) at the implications of that 3rd round of design that hopefully is a final.
Hi,

Didn't realize you hadn't switch-over to using your own account. Just tried accessing mine, and there may be a site problem. All of my files are gone (or the site is malfucntioning and they don't show). Tried checking a friend's listings, and her music isn't playing in her Store. Hers is a subscription/paid account, so that's a tell there may be a true outage as cause.

Hi Deb,

hotlinkfiles is back up today. Apparently, it was a either a site-wide or very wide-spread member outage. My friend's music in her store is back. I just checked my account and your shockwave file isn't stored in my account. I do see that your listings have the banner restored, so I'm guessing you took my advise for them as one of several possible hosting sites last fall and opened an account. They disallow multiple free accounts with one member by tracking the member's IP address, so I'm almost 100% certain I didn't open the account for you.

Edit: I located the discussion thread where you created the hotlinks account and posted the URL for .swf file in the Forum. Looks like you opened the account on November 17th last year.
