Blog EntryGuestbook FAQOct 23, '07 11:00 AM
by Luiz Felipe for everyone

  • Large pictures may make the column where the Guestbook is in your main page too wide. Either remove the entry or ask the poster to remove the code. Also, you can add this code to your Custom CSS to display a scrollbar when it happens:
          #home_guestbook .replybox { overflow:auto; }

          or, if you don't want it to display any image at all:

          #home_guestbook .replybody img { display: none; }

  • How to remove/delete messages from your Guestbook:
            At your main page, you won't see the links to delete comments or edit your own replies in your Guestbook. To do this, you have to go to the Guestbook page. You can get there using one of these ways:
            - at your main page, click on the link below your Guestbook "View All NNN Comments"
            - use this link: http://Your_Username.multiply.com/guestbook (replace Your User_Name with your actual Multiply username)

            If you cannot find the delete link for the offending graphic, you can try this: use the delete link from another comment and try to modify it to delete what you want, like this: get the delete link from the previous or next entry (right-click on the link and use 'Copy Link Location' on Firefox or the analogous command in your browser), copy it to your browser's location bar (the one where you type the http://...) and modify it to reflect the entry you want to delete.

For instance, the delete link to my 250th entry in my guestbook is something like this:
javascript:confirmLink("Are you sure you want to delete this reply?", "/item/delete-reply/lfom:guestbook:1+250?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Flfom.multiply.com%2F&usertoken=manylettershere")

So, if I want to delete the next entry, I simply copy it to the my browser's location bar, replace 250 with 251 like this:
javascript:confirmLink("Are you sure you want to delete this reply?", "/item/delete-reply/lfom:guestbook:1+251?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Flfom.multiply.com%2F&usertoken=manylettershere")

and press the ENTER (or RETURN) key. A confirmation dialog should appear, then click on OK.

  • Also, you can edit the number of comments displayed at your main page and the access (privacy) level if you click on Customize My Site and then on the Edit link found in the Guestbook box (see the image below).

  • You can now completely disable HTML in your Guestbook replies, just edit it in your main page (see the picture below).


  • If you can't see your Guestbook and you didn't hide it using the Hide link while your main page is in 'Customization Mode', probably you've set yout Homepage to 'Linear View'. Return it to 'Boxes View' to see your Guestbook again:
            http://multiply.com/setup/pages/home

  • If you are still experiencing problems about deleting stuff in your Guestbook and you are using Firefox, you can go to its menu and select: View -> Page Style -> No Style (look to a similar option in your browser if you're using another program) to disable CSS in your page so you can use the delete links to remove any offending material. Then you can enable it again.

  • Groups normally don't have a Guestbook, but you can display one if you change the Page Layout to Linear instead of Box View for the Home Page. (DEPRECATED: does not work anymore)
  • If you try to add HTML code in a comment at someone else's Guestbook that isn't your contact, the HTML will be removed. Of course, the same happens in your Guestbook for people that aren't in your contact list. (DEPRECATED: does not work this way anymore, if you don't want HTML in your Guestbook, disable it completely as explained above)
