5. HOW TO CHANGE YOUR USERNAME:

That way you can change your email address any time in the future and still keep the same username. Let us know when you want to do this because we would have to delete your old account first.

1. What are the "cookies" settings in your browser?
   
   Please check to see if you have the cookies setting set to "Medium" or lower. You can find out this way:
   
   
   1. Click on Tools
   2. Click on Internet Options
   3. Click on the Privacy tab
   4. If the slider is set to "Block all Cookies" or "High", then set it to "Medium High" or "Medium" instead.
   5. Try to Log-In again.
      
      
2. Check your security settings
   
   Another possible solution to the problem might be in the Norton Internet Security located in the ad blocking section. Remove the barnstormers site from the ad blocking
   
   
3. Do you have anti-email spam or anti-popup software on your computer?
   
   Remove the barnstormers.com site.
   
   
4. Are you using the correct username?
   
   This may seem like a simple one but many people don't remember or type in an incorrect username. If you are a new user, please double-check the username sent to you in the confirmation email. If you are a user that was transferred from the old site, please try using your email address as your username.
   
   
5. Are you using the correct password?
   
   Passwords are case-sensitive. Meaning that "Aviation" is a different password than "aviation". If your password is "aviation" and you enter "Aviation", the login will fail. Please make sure you are typing in the password with the correct casing.
   
   If you have forgotten your password you can have it sent to you.
   
   
6. What is the error message telling you?
   
   If it says "Username not found" it means the username you are entering is not in the system. Please see step 4.
   
   If it says "Password does not match our records" it means the password you are entering is not in the system for that username. Please see step 5.
   
   If it says "Validate Account" it means your account is not active. You need to comply with the activation instructions that were automatically emailed to you when you signed up.
   
   If it says "Account Disabled" it means your account has been disabled. Please contact support to find out why.
   
   

If none of the solutions worked for you, please provide the following information when you contact support:

1. Your username
2. Your password
3. What browser and version you are using (such as Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape 8.0 or AOL 9.0)
4. What exact error message you are receiving if any (such as "Username not found" or "Page cannot be displayed")

1. HOW TO DISPLAY YOUR BANNER AD AT THE TOP OF THE CLASSIFIED AD PAGES:
   
   Banner ad space at the top of the page is available at the rate of $1.00 per 1000 page views. You may select specific categories for your banner to display in or you may rotate your banner throughout the entire classified ads section of the site. Monthly costs vary according to the traffic each category generates. You may also set your own monthly dollar limit in order to stay within your budget.
   
   Please be aware that if you select a high traffic category, your banner ad pageviews (impressions) may not fit into your monthly budget... or, if you indicate a number of maximum monthly pageviews, your banner ad might not display for the entire month in that category. Therefore, I suggest that you monitor and make changes to your banner by using the "My Banners" page.
   
   Another Suggestion: That you target your market by selecting specific Main Category Sub-Catagories for your banner ad to display in.
   
   a. Establish a Barnstormers hangar account first. Sign Up
   
   b. Monthly charges for the Top-Of-The-Page banner ads are payable by credit card only. Before your banner ad can be approved, you need to provide your credit card details under "Account Settings". Your credit card will be debited on the 1st day of each month for charges incurred during the previous month.
   
   c. Your banner ad must be exactly 150 pixels wide x 90 pixels high, in a .jpg or .gif format. If animated, no more than three frames.
   
   d. Uploading Your Banner Ad.
   • Log In to your hangar account.
   • Click on the blue "Create a New Banner" link.
   • Upload your image.
   • Insert the URL (webpage address) for the web page that you want the banner to link to.
   • Select the categories for your banner to display in.
   • If you want your banner ad to display for a full month, do not specify a maximum limit to the number of pageviews (impressions)... leave the limit field blank.
     
     
   e. Statistics:
   
   You can monitor the number of pageviews and click-throughs for your banner by using the "My Banners" page after you Log-In. We suggest that you monitor the page views on a daily basis. That will give you a feel for how many days your banner will display with the maximum that you selected. You can change your maximum at any time, and also add or delete categories at any time.
