Charp, I totally understand your problem but since I'm only a forum moderator, there's not much I can do except welcoming you to the family. You could also submit a help desk ticket (link at the top of the forum pages) and see what the techs have to say about it.

I don't think Dreamweaver allows you to change file permissions via FTP. You'll have to use another FTP client for that. Try SmartFTP.

Alan, that's a strange thing. The first form of the margin property is it's "short form", meaning that in effect, the browser should translate it to the second form you pasted. The only thing I notice is that on the short form you don't specify the units you want to use (px) but if your browser gets those correctly when loading the page from your disk, it should also load them correctly from your online account (theoretically, at least). Try adding the units specification to the short form and see if it solves the problem.

If you cannot view the site by accessing your domain but you can view it on that URL you posted, then yes, it could be that DNS changes have not yet propagated. If it's still down after 48 hours of registering the domain and pointing it to TCH, then it means something is wrong with the domain configuration. But it's probably just a matter of waiting a few more hours and it will be available

Well, an FTP client would be a much better way to handle a site. Assuming you use Windows, I recommend SmartFTP As for your other question (sorry, I forgot to answer that one in my previous post): - the "username" account is the "master" account. You'll have full access to all files and directories on your account. - both the "ftp" and "anonymous" accounts are anonymous FTP accounts (you don't need a password to login through those accounts) . the "sitename_logs" account should be used to get the logs from your domain and subdomains Hope this helps

No, that's not part of the username. A username cannot have spaces in it. The directory in the parentheses is only the directory that the user will be able to access. As you said, it has a space between it and the username and as I said, a username may not have spaces in it, so no, the directory is not part of the username You could have found this out in a quicker way: give it a try

Humm... I don't know, it looks suspicious Me thinks that means it works with IE's engine, so it won't be any safer than IE itself, I guess

I don't think a ticket will solve your problem, because if you can login from one program but not from another, then that's a problem on your end. Do you have any firewall running? If it's a firewall that blocks applications, it may be blocking Dreamweaver... By the way, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum, for organization.

You guys should try some Portuguese cheese. Everybody (at least here in Europe) talks about French cheese and yes, they do have some great cheese but personally, I prefer some of our (portuguese) cheese, like the cheese from Serra da Estrela ("mountain of the star", or "star mountain" - don't ask, I have no idea why it's called like that ). Anyway, back into subject, I totally agree with Jim. He explained what I think in a much clearer way than I did.

Sorry, I'm almost falling asleep while typing, I'm really tired, I forgot to write the main thing I was going to write :\ Basically it means that when you register a domain, it will no longer take hours or a day or two for your domain to become available, it will become available much faster, as the DNS servers will be updated every five minutes.

Never mind, I found the link you were referring to. I never understood that "User Interface Spoofing Vulnerability" thing. In my Firefox, what it does is add a window that looks like Firefox inside my main Firefox window. Oh, by the way, also note the "Critical" indicator for all the bugs in Firefox and compare those to the ones of IE
-
Oh, about the number of bugs in IE and Firefox, Thomas, IMHO, you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. I prefer to use something that only has 2 open holes than something that has 18 open holes. Besides, you have to take into account Microsoft's history of slow patches for their products. They take months to patch some security holes. Some of the ones that are still unpatched have been known for ages and they still haven't fixed them. By the way, what are those vulnerabilities you mentioned in Firefox?

I may have spoken without thinking about what I was writin, my apologies for that. I don't want every computer user on the planet to become a power user but I do think they should at least be taught a few things, because they are using something that can have a negative impact on other people's business, education, life, etc. I also don't want programs to go back to the time when a command-line was pretty much what we had to interact with the computer. What I'd like to see is something in between. Things can be made easy to use but not stupidify the user ("stupidify" in the sense that the user doesn't know what he/she is doing AT ALL). After all, even if you're used to internet explorer and clicking the "Go" button on the side of the address bar, is it really that difficult to learn a new way to use the address bar: by simply pressing enter? It's even faster. I know simplicity is what made MS the dominant player in the home operating systems world (heck, I think I could even say they're the ones who started it). But I believe exagerated simplicity makes people "stupid", in the sense that if someday things don't look EXACTLY how they were used to, they'll be completely lost. If they knew that the "Safe Mode" thing that appears on their desktop simply means something went wrong and a reboot will probably "solve" the problem, or if they knew that when a window pops up saying "This program has performed an illegal operation and will now be shutdown" it doesn't mean someone hacked their computer and the police isn't going to arrest them for commiting a crime, if they knew they should have an anti-virus and firewall running at all times... they probably wouldn't waste their time, their friend's time when they ask them to fix the problem, and their money when they send their computer to be fixed. Do I care about that? In a way, yes, because I know people are not stupid and if they wanted to, instead of being lazy, they could understand just a little bit more about how that big box they have in front of them works. I'm not saying they should know how to configure Sendmail or Apache by hand, I'm saying they could know simple things like pressing the enter key after writing an URL in the address bar will have the same effect as pressing the "Go" button next to it. In the end, I also make money out of their "stupidity", so I shouldn't really care... but I do. Call me a dreamer or even say that I'm the "stupid" one but I think it would be much better if things were like this. Well, at least I probably wouldn't receive so many viruses and spam on my e-mail...

Humm... that's strange. As far as I know, you shouldn't be able to create a database with your regular user unless you go through MySQL manager. Not even delete it. Unless something has changed on CPanel during the last few updates...

Things are pretty nasty on those sides... I hope it goes away into the open sea :|

The answer totally depends on the script you have working on your site and also, I might add, on not writing your posts in ALL-CAPS
