![]() I didn't start using '08 until the 2.0.1 fix was issued, so this is all under 2.0.1. My small business site I created in iWeb 06 is not rendering correctly in iWeb '08 2.0.1 But only to warn people not to buy iWeb/iLife until they get the bugs fixed in iWeb '08. I can't believe I'm giving a negative rating to an Apple product, this is a first. Otherwise I have to come up with really obscure titles for my subpages, because I can't just call them what I want to. So please Apple, at least make iWeb 08 change URLs that contain less compatible characters that wont work in most peoples browsers. I then name the page something like '365 dage' (365 days) because then it will work and most people will know what that page is about, but it shouldn't have to to be like that. my daughters 1 year birthday is named '1 års fødselsdag' (1 year birthday) and when that show up in the URL as no one except Safari users will be able to see that page. That is a very big problem, because I'm from Denmark I use the danish characters æ, ø and å in my webpage titles, and you can guess what happens when æ, ø or å is included in the URL. The URL of subpages made with iWeb 08 will now be called exactly the same as what you call that subpage - the name that also shows in your navigation menu. I guess the iWeb team has listened to costumers about the very cryptic URLs in iWeb 06, but the change they have made in iWeb 08, to compensate for that, is just to simplified. The only way to fix this is to delete the offending item, save, quit, reboot, add it back and republish!Īpple needs to apply some knowledgeable programmers to this application and to thoroughly test it prior to release before I would give it the rating that the "professional" reviewers have. My main problem with this latest version of the application is its tendency to screw up text and text hyperlinks in a random fashion. ![]() Until the iWeb FTP actually works, optimization and SEO functionality are added and MobileMe is given a radical overhaul, the only option is to publish to a local folder if you want your site to be findable and viewable on a PC running IE. It makes you wonder if they have actually used the application. I find it astounding that reviewers for certain well known publications are reporting positively. IWeb is basically a good application - it just needs to be made to work out of the box and be developed in the same way as its main competition. IWeb still doesn't include the features that a lot of users have requested and the main one they added, the dysfunctional FTP, is a disaster for many. ![]() From the response of users in the iWeb forum, it seems that the long awaited bug fix doesn't really fix anything very much at all. ![]()
