I've got an odd problem here :-(

I've had my domain name with Freeola for 18 months now, and everything has worked fine, creating and updating site with Frontpage 2000.
I did a small update (couple of new pages) last night, the first update in around 1 month, so the first since recent Freeola upgrades....and now I get this message on EVERY page of HTML or JPEG/GIF

"the files xxxxx.xxx has been altered by user (unknown) on 01/01/80, are you sure you want replace"

It seems Frontpage wants to upload my entire site (56Mb), even though I have only changed a couple of pages, and added a couple of new one - previously, Frontpage would obviously only update new or changed pages.

I managed to get my updates done last night via Cute FTP, but I dont want this to be a permanent solution.

Any help would be much appreciated.

all the best,

The upgrade involed moving all web data to new servers and as such the dates will be wrong. It won't be hapening again in a long, long time.

Nice use of the neon glow there ;-)

Yes, the upgarde would very probably have changed all the creation dates. It probably won't happen again.

I think the problem is that when Freeola did the upgrades it changed all the dates on the files. I had simple SSI scripts on some of my pages to display a "this page last updated on blah.blah.blah", and after the upgrade they all showed the same date, presumably when the server was upgraded.

I don't know how you'll get around the problem without simply uploading the individual pages that you have changed.
