dont know if i have posted in the right place for this but:

have used the PWP web space Provided by (virgin was telwest) before some years back with no problem. Have tried to use again and can not get page to upload. Well that’s not strictly right. I have tried with cofeecup and FrontPage 2003. Both will say that they have uploaded the page ok. But when I try to view it says either no page there etc. I have tried the “web page wizard” that virgin provide and that does allow and show a page to be put up? Any thoughts!!! I have sent 3 emails to support with no reply and I object to calling them as they will now charge.

Where are you looking for your uploaded content?

Are pages that you have uploaded previously there and viewable?

Have you logged onto SelfCare to see if there are any issues there?

Afaik, the ex BY webspace allows 'some' scripts to be run, whereas the ex NTL webspace does not allow any server side stuff, at all. So frontpage extensions, for example, will not work.

- now this is pure speculation, but is it possible that VM are in the process of 'upgrading' the webspace servers, so that they all behave as the ex NTL ones do???

If that is incorrect, I apologise, it isn't my intention to spread unfounded rumours, just a guess
