Installation Tips

The more exposure given to the tool, the more traffic you'll generate - remove unnecessary banners/images from your site.

IMPORTANT: Remember to insert your URL in place of 'www.YourURL.com' in the code

1. Do NOT alter the codes in ANY way (with the exception of inserting your URL) - it is designed for compatibility with all popular browsers

2. Ask your system administrator if the code is permitted for your account - although rare, some accounts have code restrictions

3. If you're totally new to inserting html codes, search in your web page editor menu for "edit source" or something similar. Once selected, you will see the code/programming that makes up web sites. Copy the code from your browser, paste the code where you want the tool to appear, and click save.

4. When installing the code, click exactly where you want the tool to appear. When you go to "edit html", simply paste where highlighted

5. If the form does not appear correctly, try installing it away from other tables, images or text

6. If you've tried everything and the code doesn't turn out right, it may be your web page editor - some editors automatically adjust the code. Try editing your page with software that doesn't adjust the code automatically.

FAQ

Q. What Anti-Abuse Features are used?

Logging of submitter's IP address - if referrers abuse the tool in any way, including repeated submissions and submitting illegitimate friends, we notify relevant ISPs who will take appropriate action. However, domain checking is incorporated, and repeated submission of identical email addresses is rejected by the scripts. Furthermore, if we suspect the webmaster hosting the tool is deliberately submitting 'illegitimate friends' (spamming), we will block their URL from using the scripts on our servers.

Q. What if users spam "illegitimate friends"?

Email recipients that do not know the referrer can forward the email to consumerdebt@aol.com. We will then notify the sender's ISP who holds responsibility for the users conduct. If the "spammer" is found to be the site's webmaster, their IP address is blocked from using Tell-a-Friend's scripts on our servers.

Q. How do I center Tell-a-Friend?

Simply insert the tool into a pre-centered table.

Q. Who supplies the prizes?
