Most programs that you download have documentation that provides step-by-step instructions on how to install them. They also often have forums like this one that can provide help if needed and of course, it never hurts to ask here. Many of us run the more popular scripts out there.

I gave up long ago. Computers are like cats, they do what you want when they feel like it. Hmmm, reminds me of my wi... er, nevermind.

For me, that is more often than not.

I use the image verification mod for Advanced Guestbook and have never been spammed. You may want to look into something similar.

Filipe, I was not questioning your knowledge in any way. I do know that there are some people out there that may be reading and wonder what a routing issue actually is. Please do not think that I was implying that you did not know what it meant.

Welcome to the forums, programthisweb Glad you got it worked out.

Camie, Thanks for sharing and welcome to the forums.

Good for you. I am glad to see you found a solution.

Filipe, Let me try and explain routing a little further as some people do not completely understand how it works. As I understand it, where you were hosting was in Portugal where you are. Now your server is in the United States. The trip you have to take from your computer has become a bit farther. Just like a trip you take on a road, this trip passes through some traffic intersections. At these intersections are routers that direct traffic like a traffic policeman. If we take this example, you will have to pass more traffic policemen on a trip from Portugal to the United States than you would just going around the corner in your own town. When you get to each of these policemen, they will ask where you are going and provide you with the best possible route to your destination. This means that the farther you go the more stops you have to make. Add to this the number of other cars on the road and even the condition of the road, is it well kept and does it have more lanes, and you can see that things can slow down from time to time. More traffic means that you have to wait longer to get to the policeman and poor road conditions mean you cannot drive as fast as a smooth road even though you have a fast car. Let us not forget that if there was an accident on the road ahead that it may be closed and you have to take a longer route. Add all of these together and your trip can seem to come to a standstill. While running a trace-route can assist you in finding where the slowdown might be, often the only thing one can do is wait it out as it will eventually improve. Hopefully, I have not complicated things more and I would like to welcome you to the forums.

Michael, David is correct. It was in response to your question 2. While the name is public_html, your FTP software may not require it if you are using FTP to upload your files to the server. I did not mean to confuse you, merely pointing out the fact that if I put "public_html" in the server area of "my" FTP program that it would create a folder with that name and upload my files there instead of putting them in my home folder.

Check your FTP program, mine has nothing in the remote directory and uploads to public_html just fine. You may find that by putting public_html as the remote directory that you will create a folder with that name and everything will be found as your-tch-domain.com/public_html. Make a one file test upload and see where it puts it before uploading a ton of files.

Good job Donna. Nice to see you have it working.
