What I see is not what I get

I have built my site In VSD (version 6, build 6), and uploaded it to my website (www.orchardhillranch.com). All was well until I rearranged the standard page links on the pages. Now some of the boxes I've placed don't show up on-line like they look when I put them together. Look at this page in particular: http://orchardhillranch.com/emberped.html. All the vertical lines should look like the ones on the right. And the outline at the top should be an outline with the same style as the vertical lines, not the dark brick colored box.
I've deleted all the image files and re-loaded them. Still the same issue. What's up with this?

I think I'm making progress. I deleted all the IMG.jpg files (there were several that it appears were not being used now). Re-saved the pages in VSD, and uploaded the IMG files that were current. Now at least one of the pages is correct. Still working on the others.

When you upload are you selecting the option to delete unnecessary files on your server when the upload is complete? You will want to do that, since sometimes, it can interfere with the design.

I'm not sure why that link returned an error - I copied and pasted from the open window....
Anyway - deleting those image files and reloading the current ones seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks

Hi Kris,
I would try this.

On another note I have found that sometimes if you get a pop up asking about deleting unnecessary file, I would choose no, it sometimes takes what you need and removes it. That's happened to me quite a few times..:)

I just checked YOUR WEBSITE in firefox, and sometimes your categories are down the left sdie of page, other times across top of page, and on one page they are all squeezed up in top left corner of page

I use VSD all the time, i found best trick is to once you have satisfied yourself with a layout do following

Copy all your homepage elements in one go (HOLD DOWN SHIFT KEY) and select everything on the page

next add a new blank page, and paste the whole lot onto it

next make this new page your home page, (YOU CAN DELETE THE OLD ONE AT A LATER DATE)

Now if you use select page option to create all your other pages, ticking duplicate home page, all your categories headings etc. will match perfectly getting rid of any changes previously made

I always select the delete unused files option, BUT you will have to add back anything you have added with the flash tool (photo gallery, forms etc.)
