I am working on a site in VSD that is currently 184 pages and it will probably be around 250 pages. The preview function is not working and I am worried that it won't publish. Has anyone published a site with this many pages? Other than using the HTML editor is there anything else I can use/buy to make sure this uploads? :/

What's the problem with the preview? Does it give you any error messages?

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

No error message. No message at all. It goes through the preview process of uploading and then no preview shows up.

Ok, can you tell us exactly what is happening and what you are doing to make it happen. :P Write out the steps you take to get the preview. :D

200 pages I think I would split it up into bite size bits My 10 pages takes up to 15 seconds to preview, I should think 200 pages could take a while to load into casche say 20 x 15 = 300secs ? 5 mins. My logic could be wrong.

The program has to save all files,images etc to your preview folder then load it to the browser. I would advise you to open a support ticket. 200 pages that is one huge site. Try previewing one page first to check the preview process

If you select the option to preview one page only (always the top open page displayed) does that work by any chance ?

My 35 page site does struggle a little to preview, especially if my anti virus is scanning or something else in the background is running.

I have a sub-domain site with 75-80 pages on it right now. It does take a bit to load a preview. Much longer than sites with 20-30 pages.
As much as VSD will allow you to have 1000+ pages in a site, I'm already considering adding a new sub-domain to continue it because of the time to load previews and the file list is a mile long. But, there have never been any problems with uploads.
