Blank server dropdown on new website...
Im testing out the HTML Editor free edition and have successfully entered my server information, tested it, and saved it. All is fine there, when i go to find it when creating a website project, the server dropdown is empty, nothing there, i click on configure server, the Fingerboard Extension server is still there, i select it and hit OK, it doesn't appear in the dropdown in the website project setup window, why can't i see it? I've disabled my ESET security to no avail, ran it as administrator, i'm not sure what to try next.
Thanks,
Mike

Hiya Bartonmi83,
The free HTML Editor version does not have upload capabilities, you need to do the paid one for that.

Ah, that explains it, Im sure you've heard this before, but i would recommend a couple things, 1. on your page, a table comparing the paid version and free version with all the features you get by paying, I looked all over for this, it would have helped to see that this function was disabled for the free version.
and 2. Its great that its only available in the paid version, im an IT guy, i understand that, but its very frustrating when i click on the "hold my hand through this" button in the upper right and it shows me how to do it, the the info it gives me does not match whats on my screen, or explain that my version doesn't support servers in website projects, then i scramble through the msg boards, find a video, with some guy setting up a website project, again, he has a [none], i have a blank, no explanation why that is. Most lite versions of products have a grayed out box and maybe a popup that its only available if your not a cheap bastard. Otherwise you end up confused and pissed off at your product because you can'd do something simple such as add a server to a website project when there's nothing anywhere that says i shouldn't be able to.
Sorry, i'll get off my soapbox, that's just my 2 cents.

Both of these issues will be addressed in the next update Mike. We be including FTP uploading and make the differences between the free and paid version a little more apparent.
Thanks for the input!
