Slideshows

1. My slideshow is not appearing in Myspace, Bebo, Friendster, Hi5, etc...

Here are several things to check for:

What version of flash are you using?

Click http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ to check.
Click http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/ to get the latest version.

Your browser could be reading from old cache data. Clear it and check again.

Check your layout code for any these codes and remove them:

< style type="text/css">embed, object {display:block; width:0px; height:0px;}< /style>

td td object {position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; display:block; width:0px; height:0px;}

< style>embed{width:0px;height:0px;}

< style type="text/css">embed, object {display:block; width:0px; height:0px;}< /style>

If you installed a new layout then that could be the cause of the slideshow not playing.
Check to see if the code is in between the < style > < /style > tags.

If it is then move the Rockyou code to either before or after the < style > tags and check again.
Otherwise, contact us with the URL of your page (if it is private then make it public) and we'll take a look.

Finally, if all else fails then go to this page and contact us with the results.

2. My slideshow is not in my account.

Contact us with the link or instanceid of the slidehow and let us know. If you just create a slideshow then it could just take a bit longer than 20 minutes for it to appear.

For example: http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_gallery.php?instanceid=13193054

3. I can't see the captions/text in my slideshow.

Try clearing the browser cache and check again.

4. Why do I have the hotlinking/frog image on my slideshow?

Your photos are hosted by Imageshack and they have banned all incoming images to Rockyou. Your photos are still there but they cannot be seen on our site. We recommend that you re-upload those images again to us or Photobucket. Contact us. and we'll help you out with the links to the images.

5. Help! I can't drag and drop or add text to my slideshow.

Check if your javascript is enabled.

6. My slideshows appears very small on Myspace. What's wrong?

Check your layout code, look the embed code in between the < style > < /style > and remove it:

For example:

< style >
.
embed, object {display:block; width:220px; height:38px;}
.
< /style>

7. I have dialup AOL and I can't see my slideshow.

AOL will compress images. Our slideshow cannot work will not work properly with compress images. Go to your browser settings (tools, internet options) and check to see if image compression is disable.

Another option is to try another browser like Firefox.
