I am just curious if anyone else has any issues when updating and saving the form?
I tend to make several updates to the form and for whatever reason I just made 3 updates, saved the form and then did a manual update to my server...several files updated with a new save date, however my form output is still the same.
I changed the HTML Auto Reply, HTML Form Submission Information and Form Subject title...I have saved, re-saved and re-uploaded several times...still the same as it was the first time.
I guess what I am wondering is there anyone else seeing this issue and what they are doing to correct that?
Also, how do I know that when I click SAVE that I am actually overwriting that information?
I like the form builder for the most part but it's kind of unpredictable when making changes.

Saving Updates To The Form - Post ID...
I would a agree on the lack of fire works when you hit the save button in form builder.
I find my self always checking the file properties to see if it's been changed at the date and time I know I saved it.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Sometimes when the forms are updated, the only way to check if they have actually changed on the server is to delete history and cookies.

Yes, I've learned over the past few weeks that it's wise to follow a routine;
1. When you hover over the Save button - it changes colour. When you click it - it changes to a darker shade whilst saving the data then it reverts back to original hover colour.
2. Play Safe! - Save As - Confirm Overwrite - now and again.
3. After amending a form - before I upload, I close any tabs in IE9 that are displaying my forms and delete the history.
4. I design the Notification and Auto-Response emails in HTML Editor, so that I can preview them, I then copy and paste them into the 'Configure Email Message' area in WFB.
5. For the Confirmation Message - I select - 'Redirect to another URL' - I then design the page in HTML Editor and simply upload it to my server...... Nice and Easy
6. At the top or bottom of all my Forms, I always put a Reference Number as Plain Text. for example: 3101121610 - indicates - form updated on 31st Jan 2012 at 16:10hrs. When the form is uploaded you can immediately see whether you are viewing the updated form.
Works for me
