AOL Hometown (including File Manager) is heading for the chop as well. So, head for http://hometown.aol.com/_fm (if you're in the US) or http://hometown.aol.co.uk/_fm if you're in the UK.
The easiest way to deal with image files from Hometown is to open a Photobucket account, if you don't already have one. Apologies for singling out one site, but they offer the option of uploading from a URL.
1. Right-click each link on File Manager and copy the link location
2. Go to the upload location on Photobucket, selecting upload by URL
3. Paste (Ctrl-V) the URL into the relevant box
4. Repeat for each and every image file.
File Manager also contains your AOL hosted webpages (*.html), which you will also lose when Hometown goes by November.
1. Open each page on a separate browser window or tab (if your version of Internet Explorer allows).
2. Click File, then Save Page As - complete HTML, which will save the HTML to your harddisk drive. You can then clean the HTML of all the AOL garbage that it contains and upload it to your own website outside AOL.

I am wondering why Vish hasn't provided this info. I guess those of us in JLand have always taken care of our own : / Thanks Guido. Bethe
If we deleted a journal will it still be in the file Manager??
I can't find any AOL hosted webpages...I misunderstood. Forget it...Ü
Thanks for all of your helpful information. By any chance do you know of a site that accepts music files? Photobucket allows the upload of images and video, but not mp3 files.--Sheria
