can anyone help me with the steps needed to take, to put the actvation link on my site. With my old auto responder all I needed was to put the html code where I needed it on my site and it created a sign up form is that what I need to do here or is there something I am missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Here is how you MUST set up the activation link.

You place a 1-pixel "image" on a well viewed web page, which activates
the script periodically. If there even one visitor a day it will work fine.

When activated, it checks the POP3 email accounts you specified and sees
if it needs to send a confirmation e-mail to your contacts and adds them
to your mailing list.

The syntax of the activation "image" follows:

>img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/fmlplite/starter.cgi" border="0"<

You can even place the activation image on another domain. It will activate
the script everytime somebody visits that page. However, in my experience,
I suggest that you place it on the entry page to your site.

I did as you suggest however I still get a x on my viewing page?.

when you preview after adding the link, make the x box small as possible then upload to home page.

There should not be any x on your webpage if the activation link is placed correctly.

When I put this link in my editor which is front page and preview, I too see the X but it is fixed if you paste it like this: >img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/fmlplite/starter.cgi" border="0" width="1" height="1"<

How is the activation link to be put correctly------
is it >img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/fmlplite/starter.cgi" border="0" width="1" height="1"<

or is it

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/fmlplite/starter.cgi" border="0" width="1" height="1">

When i put it the second way i no x ------- i see nothing --and do you have to change " mydomainn.com" to your home website? -- i think that is the proper way--

Thanks Greg for the suggestion. This is probably due to different browser interpreting the HTML command. For example between IE and Firefox.

Moneytune: you need to replace < with > and vice versa as I can't display <> in the forum. Yes please change to your own domain name.
