Dave,
Thank you for your quick response, I read the information on your site on 2002. I had read most of the other topics on your site before posting the original questions yesterday. Although I found information on the changes and updates, I was unable to locate answers for the problems we see on our site.
Did you click on the sites listed in the original message? Were you able to see the flashing text, slow graphics, etc?
If so, then can you explain why this is happening? Do you have any suggestions how to fix it? The site comes up smoothly using Web Site Preview on different computers, but "sloppy and slow" when it is uploaded to the internet. This phenomenon doesn't seem to be related to the conversion from 98 to 2003 because the second web page listed was redesigned in 2003 and the "sloppy" way the page appears is the same.
Here is a comparison test:

is worth a thousand words, simply click on two pages of the site
you skipped some versions, a lot changed.
98 and 2003 are nothing alike in web design.
2000 was similiar to 98, however with the 2002 version lots of changes came
in.
I recommend you visit my sites 2002 page and review the first couple of
articles that cover the changes that came in 2002.
then visit the 2003 page to read up on the changes added there.
again you can't compare the two accurately, they are fundimentaly different.
I'd tell you but I won't because you don't want to, after you read my
material on 2002 you'll be up to speed enough to know that.
which is not acceptable for all browers. Is there a way to turn off PNG?
There is an option to turn off vml and png, see the uploading 2003 article
linked off my 2003 page. BUT it does not actually turn off png. Basically
the answer to the question is no.
transferred. I've found that if I go through WSFTP and erase the index.html
file and the files in the index_files subdirectory first, then go through
the Publish to Web process again, the update is successful. Is it better to
uncheck all web options and use WSFTP?
I've found that lock ups are usually caused by the customer having an object
on a page that overlaps the document area and scratch area, adjusting the
content object properly resolves that.
Use of a sub folder can be turned off in options, to keep it simple (all
together like 98 ).
I recommend using Pub to upload as it guarantees all files will be uploaded
properly, some customers have difficultly loading all files when doing it
manually with an ftp client.
There is however nothing wrong with saving locally and then using wsftp.
Note: incremental uploading in 2003 requires Pub uploads.
the case. Our business cannot afford to update every page of every website
we've created over the years (and web maintenance is a large part of our
income). Should we go back to Pub 98?
Only you can answer that, it depends on your requirements, I state that in
my 2003 page. I know many customers using 2003 very successfully. I know
many sticking with 2000. (2002 isn't real popular).
I'd suggest after you get up to speed reading the documentation my site
provides you vist our web forum and review threads for feedback from other
customers.
btw, I recommend acquiring trial versions of product releases for testing
and evaluation -
