Ladies and Gents...
While yes it may be a little distressing to not be able to work on and build our websites i can assure you that this type of thing happens so very infrequently and to this extent NEVER.
@ pblogger I cannot emphasize or stress enough how stable and safe YOLA is compared to all the other site builders out there. With that said, This being a little bump in the road it is not the time to call it quits.
I have been using YOLA well over a year now and can state with certainty that you will find none better. Truth be told... In my books they are simply the finest you will find. ;)
Happy site building

I am sure the coffee pot is getting some use today... They are some smart cookies and will I am sure get it squared away soon enough.
I as well as so many I am sure will be chomping at the bit to finish their Ace website... I think I have done most all I can do offline LOL and being stuck in bed building a website with one eye is quite the interesting challenge. I see how depth perception is a valuable tool so be kind when looking at my site for the first time. ;) I am a pirate Matey... LOL OK well for another week at most I think.
I wonder if a little extension would be granted if the system is down for a long duration?
Off topic: Look what I keep getting pop up lately...

Mom... Get Satisfaction is like a great big cookbook with thousands of companies around the world each with their own chapter and recipes contained within. When you or someone you know has a difficulty using a product or wants to learn how to do something that you didn’t know before you simply go to that company’s Get Satisfaction forum and look up the recipe that the employees and customers recommend to solve your problem. Get Satisfaction it truly the Rock Soup of the internet with millions of people from around the world contributing to help others solve their problems... -

Ed-a-Torials @ Honey Bear Playhomes replied on August 20, 2009 02:01 to the question "How to decrease the padding around a swf movie (widget)" in Yola:
I think rather it has to do with either the flash size out of perfect or the SWF itself than a code issue. Flash files are quite simple beasts and if properly sized contain no padding as such unless placed there by the designer in the FLA file before becoming a SWF media.
It is kind of like a TV and the Screen. The Screen the is the flash and the code is the box the screen sits in. In your case the code you used contains no padding and would have a flash to background transition.
If in the code you use the width and height settings are not set to the flash files actual settings sometimes this creates a colored border around your flash or more often than not a white border which restricts other objects placed on top, bottom or side from coming in contact with the flash. I have had flash components on most of my sites and found with some (not all) this happens frequently.
To begin with I would play around with the width and height settings (most often it is 2 times for height and 2 times for width per code)
I posted a thread here which may be what you are looking for as you have the option to adjust the dimensions and see with one click if it is properly set. It is really perfectly suited for you I think. http://forum.yola.com/yola/topics/eas...
MK could you post the URL to the page which contains the flash media? That would speak volumes and be most helpful to find out the cause.
Happy site building

Easy to use and very reliable Embedded Media HTML Generator for SFW flash, Quicktime, Real media and Windows media. Never again have to edit a code for a movie again...(Plus the ability to left, center or right justify the media without a 2 column widget) A Honey Bear Playhomes Tip...We all know how fun (yeah right) editing code is and when it comes to flash or movies it needs to be right on or it won't work for all browsers.
The code we all have been using and editing of course is all fine and well for some of us who are skilled at it but I post this thread for those who are not.
1) Upload your SFW flash, Quicktime, Real media or Windows media file in your file manager
2) Open your site builder and drag a file widget onto your page and locate in your file manager the media file you wish to have shown on your website. (This file placement is temporary)
3) Update/publish your website and open in your browser the page you placed the file.
4) Right click on the file name and click "Copy link location"
5) Open http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php
6) Click on the type of media you have and would like to embed in your website
7) In the top text box which says "Server" right click and paste the file location you copied from step 4
8) Highlight the /resources/filename.swf (or other file type) part of the file URL
9) Right click on the highlighted part and click "Cut"
10 Right click on the second text box which says "File path" and paste the copied ending of the URL inside
11) Adjust the width and height as per your files requirements
12) Make any necessary adjustments to the additional controls for your media (Usually it is not necessary but to either left, center or right justify your media without use of a 2 column widget in your site builder is one that you might consider)
13) Click the "Submit" Button
14) In the next window click the "Test Media" button to see if you did it right.
If you cannot see your media then start at the beginning once more... If you can see the media continue.
15) Highlight all the code that the generator produced except the first line which reads "<?> Copy & paste the following..."
16) Open your site builder and drag an HTML widget onto your page and paste the copied code within the space provided then click the "OK" button
17) Delete the file widget from step 2
Your media should appear once your click "OK" and the HTML editor disappears.
It will become quite easy after you do it a few times I am sure of it...

Ed-a-Torials @ Honey Bear Playhomes replied on August 17, 2009 06:27 to the question "How can I decrease the height of a text widget?" in Yola:
Hi Satchell
Try clicking at the very, very bottom of the text widget and then hitting your "Backspace" Key until the cursor is just to the right side of the last letter in your text.
This will remove all that extra space. ;)
If that does not work let us know.
Happy site building
