ACK! FrontPage deleted my forum.
in [FrontPage]

From: JennaG on 10 Feb 2010 17:16 I created a forum (not using FrontPage). Then I went to FrontPage to edit the underlying site. When I hit "publish" and attempted to publish to ftp:, it prompted me-- did I want to delete all the forum pages? They were on the destination server, but not in my web. I clicked "no." About a hundred times. There were so many prompts, over and over, that I eventually hit "cancel" and gave up, figuring I'd have to find another way. Well, despite my clicking "no," it deleted my forum! Two questions: how can I make sure this never happens again, and how do I override FrontPage's function that checks what's on the destination server? I don't want it to check.
From: Rob Giordano [MS MVP] on 11 Feb 2010 01:03 Put the Forum in a subweb and don't publish to the subweb with FP...this is the safest way. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression Web "JennaG" <JennaG(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:ECEC236D-767F-41A2-BDF3-7C1741F3D63A(a)microsoft.com... > I created a forum (not using FrontPage).

From: Ronx on 11 Feb 2010 03:03 Create a folder on your local copy with the same name as that your online Forum lives in. Right click the folder and choose "Convert to Web" In Publishing Properties, clear the checkbox that says "Include Sub Sites". FrontPage will ignore this folder, and the corresponding folder on the server. How you get to Publishing Properties depends on which version of FrontPage you have - it's on the same dialogue, possibly a different tab, where you type in the server name. In FrontPage 2003, Click Remote Web Site, then click Remote Web Site Properties, then use the Publishing Tab. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.
