Is it working

[Duftopia]

I've had a hell of a time with the upgrades to my netfusion and I am hoping
that someone will honestly tell me whether I should stay with fusion or not,
I have abig account opening up and need to take a good first step and it
seems a little risky. Any suggestions, alternative programs. please feel
free to advise me.

1) I got netfusion 8 and upgraded version 6 it was a nightmare could barely
back out of it in the past.

2) Uploading pictures are an iffy operations, they tend to unstretch
randomly, not upload and sometimes need to be reloaded twice to finally
post, has this been fixed.

3) Ms windows system restore is a kiss of death for netfusion, has this been
fixed?

4) I run a 300-400 page site that changes frequently, netfusion cannot deal
with it, and I have to post page by pages and can never upload the entire
site, has this been fixed?

- - published changed assets is not guarenteed to work, its a crap shoot.

Please suggest an alternative that comes close to netfusion if you can.

Thank You
Michael

My only experience at websites is with NOF, from 4.0 to 9, but I will give you
my two cents worth. I only run 3 sites. one of 300 pages for my main company,
one of about 20 so far for my second company, and one for a non-profit group I
sponsor through my main company.
1. The only upgrade problem I had was 4.0 to 4.1 (or something like that). It
was probably due to my lack of understanding of the program and "templates".
2. I never use NOF to size pictures. I get them to the optimum color,
transparency, size, and KB in photoshop, then add them to the site.
3. I would never count on MS system restore for anything. Sign up for
newsletters from www.langa.com to get a better understanding of its limitations
and alternative.
4. I have no trouble with changing pages, even on my 300 page site which has
changes 2 or 3 times a week. (no e-commerce). I have a problem with a bug in
NavBars that I finally found a workaround for. But uploads through NOF I
understand from my experience is more dependent on your connection than
anything. I'm guessing that NOF only tries to connect once or twice, then
assumes it is connected, whereas Filezilla (FTP) continually reconnects and
continues. Until recently (3 weks ago) I had to operate 1/2 of the time with
dial-up, sometimes at 14.0. It does not connect well that way. Now I have a
64K dsl in one location, a 128L dsl in another, a 256K dsl in another and 380K
in my main office. I'm hoping that will make it connect better. Also, my ISP
said part of my conecting problem is probably that I had too many files in my
root directory. I'm reorganizing it. I will be testing this week the direct
uploads again, hoping it works, but ftpis not a bad option.

My biggest complaint other than the bug above is that its spanish dictionary is
very poor, and it does not take keyboard accents, requiring the character map
or copy/paste.

hope that helps
