I am not able to view my site this morning ( http://the-lee-family.us ) and this is the error I get:

Error, you did NOT set variable $StringToChange in Convert() function.
Error, can NOT read file: /home/content/t/h/e/theleefamily/html/include/inc_ext/ConvertCharset/ConvertTables/

However, I am ...

Is there something I can do myself to get rid of the spam even with captcha?

I change the alias from guestbook to gstbk or whatever. When I start getting spam again I change the alias again .... messages, or nospam_gstbk, etc. It usually fixes it for a while. Remember to update any re-directs or ...

Thanks! Yeah, I am viewing it from another PC right now and it is fine. Thanks for the explanation though, that's probably what happened and is good to know!

My site has been working well for a while now, but today I visited my guestbook and noticed there is no longer a place to sign it. Please see: http://the-lee-family.us/index.php?gstbk Is there a limit to how many entries this will hold?

Ha -- I haven't even gotten around to this. I did, however, look at the CSSplay sites for a while and there is a lot of great info there! I just have to find some time to sit down and mess around till I get it right.

Whenever that happens I'll post something here letting everyone know how it went ...

So I have tried all of the release upgrades, but I get an error for all of them. I started using wcms back in March, so my first version of it would have been a more recent one. Any suggestions?

Thanks again for your help!

You guys are great! Thanks for the replies. I am going to be checking out both of these recommendations and I'll let you know how it goes. http://cssplay.co.uk is great for people like me that don't have a lot of experience.

Thanks Oliver. It actually ended up being that I changed the caching ability to "1" in conf.inc. For some reason it made the older site come up. Is there a good explanantion for that that I can learn from?

I seem to have a growing amount of issues here.... can someone help??

I've been discussing an issue with flip-flop about my db at http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12158, but now I am having a strange problem. When I visit my site I am taken to an older version of the site. A version that ...

Well I only started using WCMS this past Spring, so I am guessing that I didnt't have 1.1RCxxx loaded. I am pretty sure is was a more recent version that I got straight from the phpwcms site.

As far as the db goes -- sounds scary. I don't see the /setup/update_sql/ folder in phpMyAdmin, but I have ...

This dicussion has been helpful to read. I have succesfully rewritten the URL, but now I get an error that the page does not exist and, therefore, I cannot access it. Can you help me solve this problem??

Thanks,

1. Ok - my config.inc file is up to date, but I am still not able to make changes to my site structure. :( Maybe a db issue. I remember everything in the update process up until the db part below. I don't remember that part...
