As for inc_top.asp no longer existing: it's renamed to inc_header.asp to match inc_footer.asp. The same goes for inc_top_short.asp which is now called inc_header_short.asp.

If you use the Code view and have the options for Dreamweaver set to not have it auto-complete or edit anything without you saying it can, yes Dreamweaver can be used.

I prefer Homesite+ which comes with Dreamweaver MX. There are several other good programs that you can use, but unfortunately I can't remember any of their names or URLs where they can be downloaded.

Thanks

I have noticed that in Snitz Version 4 there is no graphical view in Dreamweaver.
This makes things very hard to customise if you are not proficient in ASP.
Is there any other way of modifying the code to suite your individual need.

There are no WYSIWYG editors that can handle Snitz 3.4 for as far as I know. You'll have to live in code view from now on. Sorry.

What may be a really good idea is for standard templates to be released for things such as...

Menu on the left.
Reduce width of forum & centralize it.
Logo accross the top and so on.

This would be really usfull for us that do not know ASP that well

Any chance of someone being so kind as to offer this service?

reducing the width of the forums is still done in inc_header.asp, right before the sub sForumNav() unless I didn't check that part of the file well enough.

setting a menu on the left can be done in two ways (if not more), so that would require two files, and "logo across the top" can be done in at least two ways too.

Try to keep in mind that Snitz was meant as a project to learn ASP/VBScript, and those "roots" can still be found in the ease with which you can make many many changes.
For those who don't know enough ASP to make those changes, there are several forums where they can request help for modifying their forums
