F.A.Q


•How Did I Get Here?

Hello! Apparently, it seems like you've came across this site probably from one of your friend's xanga, or your own xanga. This is a problem that occurs when using xanga layout codes, without editing them. Most xanga layout codes come with default links such as "xanga.com/private/subscribeto.aspx?username=YOURUSERNAME" which requires the person to edit the codes.

What Are You Doing On My Subscriptions List?

Actually, you subscribed to this xanga. If I am on your subscription list, you must have subscribed to one of your friend, who was currently using one of my xanga layout codes. However, he/she must have forgotten to edit the codes so that when visiters click subscribe, instead of adding him/her, it adds me.

•How Do I Fix This Problem?

Access to your CLAF or Look & Feel. You can go there through here:

http://www.xanga.com/claf

Sign-In with your current username, and go to your header area, where it says "Input your own Header HTML". Scroll through all of your codes, looking at the HTML. Find anything on the codes that reads 'YourSitesUsername', and replace it with your xanga username. For instance, for xanga.com/AncientWhisper's xanga, her username is AncientWhisper---- as it appears on the URL on the Address Bar. After you finish, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, and click "Save Changes".

You're Done!

How Do I Find The Person That I Originally Planned To Subscribe To?

To tell the truth--- you can't. But there are many ways to try to reach to that person such as browsing through your subscriptions located at:

http://www.xanga.com/private/subs.aspx

Look through your subscribers, maybe one of them was that person. Since you subscribed to them in the first place,  they might have subscribed to you.

•I Found That Person's Page, But How Can I Subscribe To Him/Her Now?

You can contact them through comments on their blogs, and tell them to fix their codings so that other people, including you, can subscribe to them. If they're unreachable, you can copy the URL:

xanga.com/private/subscribeto.aspx?username=YOURFRIEND

Paste it on your Address Bar on your Browser, and replace 'YOURFRIEND' to your friend's username, which you can find on their homepage.

For instance, if your friend's xanga is http://www.xanga.com/AncientWhisper, copy their username, which will be AncientWhisper on this occasion, and paste it in place of 'YOURFRIEND'. So now, the username will appear as this instead:

xanga.com/private/subscribeto.aspx?username=AncientWhisper

Click enter on the Keyboard, and then click 'Subscribe' when the screen loads.

Is There Anything Else I Need To Know?

Nope, you're finished. You can unsubscribe to this site by going to your Subscriptions:

http://www.xanga.com/private/subsactive.aspx

Click on 'Delete' next to the username 'YourSitesUsername'. Now you're finished!

•What's The Purpose Of This Site?

The purpose of this site? Just to inform people whenever they come here accidentally, and to prevent the problem from happening again. Another purpose is to inform me about how many people use my layouts without changing the links that needs to be changed. It's really helpful and keep me aware about how careless some people are.

•Who Are You Anyway?

I'm Cindy H. also known as AncientWhisper, or AngelxWings. If you are curious, I own a layout site at:

http://www.xanga.com/AncientWhisper

I design and code many different layouts for public use. I also help people with xanga issues. I created this site to help people who accidentally subscribed or access this site. This problem happens to many people who also stumbles apon to username's xanga and yourusername's xanga. Since some of those sites didn't give a brief enough description of what happened, I decided to make this site just for my own purposes to help people. If you stumbled upon this site, you must have used one of my layouts, or subscribed to one of your friend's site which has my layout.

•Thank You So Much.

Your Welcome! I'm just here to clear things up before any confusions start.  Feel free to comment here to show your appreciations for this site.
