Hi Jen, I don't see this at their site. I joined but nothing there on creating forms. Could you see what I'm doing wrong? Ralphy

Hi Ralphy,

FormSpring or LiveWired? Both names and things have changed. Try this tip:

http://jensocial.com/group/premiumningtipsbyjen/forum/topics/how-to...

I think I probably need to delete this old tip. I'll wait till I have time to look at everything. The VIP tip will explain that it's difficult to find the link on FormSpring (now Formstack). The link is practically hidden.

Let me know if this doesn't help.

Best,

Jen

Sadly enough they want 14.95 and 14 day trail. Guess they all have changed. Is there another way to do this.

Oh WOW! I suspected this might happen since they've been hiding that link more and more and more. I just setup a Client a week or so ago, and do almost every week. This is a kick in the arsh. Course I can't blame them, they should be paid for all the hard work if they don't have ads to offset. I had hope they'd go with the latter. So no, I don't know of another free way for members and visitors. I think the Ning App only works for members. If you want to look at that one go to My Network/Features Layout, Ning App. Search on "contact", no quotes.

Or this link should do it: http://yourning.com/opensocial/ningapps/list?q=contact

I'll be looking for one for sure. I'll let you know when/if I find it.

Best Regards,

Jen

Thank you Jen, that worked. I have a question out of the norm. How do you make the xg body background semi transparent without affecting all other xg's such as xg modules. I put the statement in the xg body and it makes all xg's semi transparent.
