File Names

an underscore seems to be the most common. you should avoid spaces in file
names for more than just search engine reasons.

I wish this stuff worked right all of the time

It does.
Should file names be seperated with a space, dash, or underscore ?

I don't understand. You mean "fish lips.html" as opposed to
"fishlips.html"? You should never use spaces in filenames, with the web in
general in mind (not just SEO). Letters, numbers (as long as they are not
the first character), hypens, and underscores are all you should have. In
addition, all lower case is a good rule of thumb, too.

Hi,
Never use spaces - from an SEO standpoint use a dash, eg
Best
Car-Dealer.htm
OK
Car_Dealer.htm
A bit worse
CarDealer.htm
Don't go here
Car Dealer.htm

Although this is going to have very little impact - the url itself isn't a
big factor.
 
It depends on what your are doing, how your are using FP, etc. I have rarely had a problem with
using any version of FP since FP98, doing something that it shouldn't or I didn't expect.

That's nice for you. But since there are usually over 200 messages a day on this newsgroup having to do
with people having problems, and not all of them are caused by user error, your experience seems to be
unique. Also, I notice you said "rarely". Also, I seem to remember you mentioning that you still use
FP2000 for your work, and therefore have limited experience with '02 and none with '03. I stand by my
statement.

Craig
 
While he may still use FP2000 (for specific reasons) he runs FP 2002 and
2003 on a separate machine in order to use them for troubleshooting in the
FP newsgroups.

You're second-guessing ;-)

Craig,

True I prefer not to use FP2002 or FP2003 for production, as I have no need for any of the newer
features, doesn't necessarily limit my knowledge of either. As Tom point out I do have them
installed, and I can open and work on any site that I have designed in either.

Yes there are many users having problems and the issues are basically the same issues when FP2000
was released, etc.

I can do without the condescending attitude, thank you. Problems are not always
caused by user error. Computers and software do not always work right. If they
did there'd be much less need for these newsgroups, and while I'd miss the
community here, the world would be a much happier place.

Okay, but that doesn't negate the original point: that Murray posited that "this stuff worked right all
of the time." It obviously doesn't. FP's Photo Gallery component is an obvious example, as even a
cursory glance of a few days' worth of posting here will attest. :-)

The photo gallery works fine for most users of FP (those of us that post here, are just a small
number of the user base) or MS would have change it from FP2002 or left it out of FP2003.

I think E.C. Culling would disagree.
