I tried to sign up. You have to enter a phone number they can call you at to give you your code. They never called. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

The friend who told me about it got signed up with no problems, I believe. I'll double-check. <p></p><i></i>

I've been waiting for the second e-mail for a day now. I decided to send an inquiry to the support e-mail address. My guess is that they are being overwhelmed with people signing up. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://webpages.charter.net/1ibcnya/mongheesm.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE BR START-->

Someone posted this on the planettribes forums a couple months ago, if they are still offering it today it seems like a good deal otherwise I think it would be gone. <p><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.gif/sigs.php"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/index.php?zo ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/gryphon/thb_ccam.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/tcdb">Tribes Clan DB</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - List your Tribes1/2 Clan, Guild, Fansite, League, or Script site<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/snooknet">Gryphon, LLC</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - My WebDev Adventures<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.planettribes.com">PlanetTribes</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - Adminstrator<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.planetplanetside.com">PlanetSide Shuttle</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - Newsie Extraordinaire<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.alliedtribalforces.com">Allied Tribal Forces</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - A PlanetSide alliance started by Tribesplayers</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>

I tried again and got signed up. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to upload my web site. These guys aren't very good at making user interfaces. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

They are damn awful at it in fact. Took me about a month to finally figure it out.<br><br>Pretty much the only way to upload your site is with an FTP program.

Where do you find the FTP address? This company sucks! You get what you pay for I suppose. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Yay! I finally got fully signed up. Hey, free is free.

Mav- you need to get your ftp account info from the webspace tab on the left, and click edit to see the PW. and on the contract selection screen after login, you can see the url for your site to log into. It's hidden and all convoluted, but it's there...<br><br>I just registered ianglenn.com to make my life a little easier, but it's gonna take a while till I get anything useful on it.

I'm of the opinion that they need to hire Gambit (for about double his current salary) to develop a better control interface.<br><br>You could telecommute, Gambit.
