Its been discussed in another recent thread ... but was just curious if any of you might have some more specific knowledge about it.
For years I had designed & built my site www.merlinean.com using FrontPage ... and was quite happy with it. For the most part ... despite its short comings. It allowed me to edit & maintain my site even during those periods when my brain wasn't functioning right. I still refer to FrontPage as "idiot proof" because of that.
Unfortunately, February 2005 the site grew to more than 200 pages and I suddenly could not edit any of the site with FrontPage. The ones at MS Support & on their Newsgroups all claimed FrontPage had no limit to the number of pages it could handle and could offer no reason why FrontPage might have stopped working for me. It still worked fine on about 6 other sites I had.
Does anyone here definitely know anything different??? Its something that has been bothering me since back then. I eventually moved the whole thing over to XOOPS (www.xoops.org) and have been quite happy with it. But my brain has to be functioning to a certain level before I can attempt to add or modify anything.
I am going to be starting another site which is likely to expand to over the 200 pages over the next few years. I would prefer to use FrontPage but only IF I know my experience in Feb 2005 won't be repeated.
Anyway, I appreciate any and all input on the subject.
Thanks much
Peter
