    Default Re: Original Xara site different from what appears online

    Thanks, Acorn, I have cleared the cache a few times, as well as deleted and re-uploaded all the files. How could the upload not be done properly?

    Hi PeeWee, can you copy the Activities page (in the P & L gallery, right click over the page and select Copy Page) and paste it into a new .web document and then attach it here so we can look at it please?

    Hi again PW. I've looked at your web file and uploaded it via Xara's built-in ftp utility also via the ftp program Filezilla. Neither displays the issue you highlight.

    One issue, and I don't believe it's the cause of your problem, but look at text Styles. All your text seems to be in the style 'normal' but there are many variations, including size, weight, font & colour. Very difficult to edit over a single page, let alone a multi page site.

    +1 Egg. I was puckering up to say the same.
    My other concern is the page length is placing a lot of detail for a user to find and review and for the editor to manage.

    I, too, cannot get the page to fault on Preview, Export or Publish.

    Oh lordy, now I don't know what to do. I've just once again deleted all the files on the server and re-uploaded, and still have the same problem on that page - different fonts and font sizes and colours. Also, the same lack of background colour on 3 of the four pages. If the "activities" page worked for you, then what I might do is create a new website altogether using the page copy and paste option.

    Uploaded as BINARY right? The first time I uploaded a website (using FileZilla) I ran into this with my host. Even though the web host says it is no longer necessary, I still upload as Binary to be on the safe side. If I used another FTP client I would have run into the same issue with that host.

    Thanks so much Egg Bramhill, John and Acorn! However, I've reached the limit of my frustration level with this site. My final solution was to select all text on the activities page and make it black. Problem solved. Colour is overrated! :-) Somehow, the background colour of the three pages also appeared with the latest upload. craftech, please tell me where I find the option to upload as binary? I can't find it in FileZilla's site management and don't know where else to look. And, Acorn, yes, you're right; the page is waaaay too long but that's the way the organisers want it. The page offers the option of printing out a pdf, which is what I expect most of our visitors do. Thank you again, everyone, so much!
