Hi Folks,
Just a suggestion.
When I shut down the site, as Administrator I should be allowed to continue to work in the site and make changes and updates.
Perhaps, someone could chane some thing like this...
If SiteDown = "Yes" Then
If Not Session( "Admin" ) = "Admin"
Response.Redirect( "down.asp" )
End If
End If
This way you could shut the site down to everyone except the admin. Then the admin could have access to the whole board to make changes, test mods etc..
Just a suggestion. What do you think.
