Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
- download the website builder. this will create a blue voda folder on your hard drive in my document.s
- transfer all the files to the new blue voda folder, that means all the finished pages, images in images folder. make it look just like the folder on your old computor.
- when you open the page all should be like your old one.
- do not change the path of any files.

You may also wish to double check your page HTML settings just to make sure they have been kept. Make a lot of notes and copy paste a lot of stuff to notepad so you can reverse the process quicker.
Also, your page property settings may be set to default settings, so you may want to go over them as well and make sure all is in order.
Good luck.

Wow!
This looks like fun. Redo all my pages, 200 of them...
Thanks, anyway.

Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
You do not have to add your previous images. They are located on your server and will show.
The images may not show on the actual BV pages, however.
This is really no inconvenience.
As far as checking page properties you will not have to do that until you re-publish a particular page.CarbonTerry

Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
Hi, old Carbon!
Long time, no see... I'm glad you checked in.
I've got problems.
I'd like to run through / upgrade my old pages and in preview mode they don't connect with their respective embedded images and music files/players.
One thing is that those were done in an earlier (9.3) version and I downloaded a newer (10...) version.
I suspect I did something wrong. (The site itself appears to be running OK).
But I can't work on my old pages. Even the hyperlink icon is dead.
Customer support is suggesting to download 11.4.
What gives?
Should I re-download everything?

Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
It is so easy to move your account to new computer. Here mention some few basic steps:
- First download the website builder. It will create a blue voda folder on your hard drive in my document
- After that transfer all your files to the new blue voda folder, that means all the pages, images. images folder.
- After that when you just open the page all should be like your old one.
- Please do not change the path of any files.

If you are moving to a new computer and a new OS the path to the images may change.CarbonTerry

Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
It appears, that all this info is dependent on the following factors:
- what kind of computer one has
- what operating system
- how is it configured
- and a lotsa other factors
In my case, yes I did exactly as described above - and it's coming out as it's described above: the transfer is working (to some extent) and, apparently, I'm gonna have to re-do many pages. (Good opportunity to revamp my site... long overdue).
(The pages have no intention to path-up with the server... What if I just move around the folders until they find each other and live happily ever after - until a new computer comes by...)

Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
The new path would not be with the server but with your computer files.
As I said before, if you publish the pages with the RED X's for images/shapes visible all will be visible on the web because the images are on your server.
You are correct. There are many variables.CarbonTerry

And the "redX" stuff only matters if I want to rework the pages - which I do.
Then I have to re-define the paths - don't I? Or just re-publish?

Re: Hot To Move Account to New Computer
Sure,
The reason you get the red x is because the path to the image (on your computer) has changed.
I has nothing to do with your server.
No, you do not have to re-define the path. Just publish. The images are still on the server.CarbonTerry
