Ok -- typical me to jump right in and customize the template pages in my HTML editor without reading the directions first. BUT -- I have tinkered with the text in the pages and added a couple hyperlinks to the template pages -- nothing major in terms of changes, but very important to my site and --- every time I save the files in an amember folder, they get wiped out! This goes for even the most basic of changes like changes to a .txt file from being signed from WebMistress instead of Site Team. So here are my questions: 1) Why and How the %$%@% are my changes getting wiped out when they are saved in an amember folder. Is this the Smarty thing you guys talked about? So how do I disable smarty? 2) How can I go around htis problem and edit my pages the little bit that I need to do to add a couple hyperlinks and change some text etc? thanks in advance -- this is frustrating becuase i changed these pages (ALL of them) 4 TIMES and it happened each time. HOURS of work wiped out. Starmist
aMember doesn't change files on disk/your FTP server, so it is completely impossible that you described. Also, Smarty does little different things, so it is also not involeved here. Which HTML editor and FTP software do you use?
