BeausCFS3 site unwell

Home for tea and tiffin!
Just to let you folks know that the site is not working at present due to the problem of being unable to upload some files. It's a bit of a mystery at the mo' as the site looks OK except for no images on the pages or navigatioin bars and no add-on files have been uploaded.

I'm a bit pig sick about this actually!
 
We are all pulling for you Beau,
I like many shall hope (and Pray) all shall be well..
Remenber you are one of the greats here..
we all depend upon your abilites and Thank God for them..

I'm in conversation with a guru about it. The problem seems to be that the software is claiming it cannot find the files on my hard drive. This could be due to the fact that the site was imported into the latest version from an old one. The site had grown to 110 pages and I couldn't face a rebuild at that time. However I have extricated the core of the site - the purely CFS3 part - from the much larger historical sections. So I'm thinking a new build of the core shouldn't take too long. But I'm sleeping on that.

thanks for your concern guys
 
God will keep yu well Beau, Sleep on it and I'm sure He'll pull you through.

Remember, Technology only works well when it works. Don't worry about it.

Hope you slept soundly without any nightmares.

Great site - hope you can get through the problem without too much difficulty.
 
Hello Chaps

I'm not completely clear of what happened, but firstly I'd run out of webspace. So I've upgraded my account and now have buckets of the stuff. Then all the images in the software had become disassociated. So when it tried to upload there was nothing to to upload. One answer was to trawl through the pages re-attaching the images. But that seemed too depressing, so I've reduced the site to it's CFS3 core (cutting away, but saving as a separate file, the historical stuff) and am rebuilding from scratch. This does have the advantage of allowing me to polish it up a bit and put in some new ideas I've had. The historical work will become a sub-site and will be uploaded separately. This will make it easier to manage and I will tidy that up too. It had become very sprawling and the navigation was becoming idiosyncratic.

I can now be philosophical and talk of silver linings, but at the time I was spitting feathers.
