    Post Sympatico and frontpage extentions

    Sympatico does not support frontpage extensions is there any alternative to get certain things that need it to work on my site?

    The webspace that Sympatico gives you for free is very limited. Other than running simple CGI scripts for site counters, there isn't much to offer. Mostly it's designed for people to post their pictures and make simple websites. The biggest limitation is that you can only upload to your webspace if you are logged into your Sympatico account.

    If you want to do more, then look to a third party host. Some have hosting deals for as low as $5 a month.

    Keep in mind that Sympatico does not block external linking to the webspace (yet) so that might prove useful for some extra storage space if you go with somebody else.

    thanks for the tip
    so there is no way to get my form working in the ihcr link of my page?
    I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

    If you want the form to post data back to your Sympatico site, then the answer is no.
