I've been messing around with VSD for about a week and I must say I'm impressed.

Unfortunately I am getting increasingly frustrated with two aspects of the program.

I have a simple background which includes text on the foreground (nothing new right?)
I have made a button to link to an external article. When I save the page, the damn buttons go behind the background - HOLD ON! before you tell me to save the object to the front I will tell you I've already done that. I've tried the different permutations but the damn buttons move behind the background. WAIT! there's more. It's inconsistent! Sometimes only a few buttons will move to the background.

This is driving me nuts.

What am I doing wrong?

Bonjour Monsiermaggot - Could you post a link to the page?
Also, for your background, did you use the Settings options or did you insert a shape/image? Did you use the Buttonize feature for your buttons?

Hi there;

I just posted the information online as a test since I thought it was the "Preview" that was causing the error. I put the site back to "under construction" until I resolve this.

I'm sure it's something minor but it's driving me nuts.

Here's what I did to reproduce the problem.

The background itself was generated by the program. I have a "Tabbed" window that I set up with the shape/image. I then put the buttonized item in that frame.

I thought that moving it to the "front" would ensure it stayed there but whenever I save/preview/post the page, the button moves to the back.

The crazy part is that it's not consistent. If I resave a page without fixing the button, another button intermittently disappears! Not all the time. Freaky....

A link to your site would make it easier to tell what's going on and help you with the problem.

Not sure what this describes? Are you using a template (background generated by program)? I don't get "tabbed window", either

You could make a new page with no links to it and put that up, then post the URL here so we could see what's going on

Sorry to confuse the issue.

I am using a program generated background.

With that background I add a square box (using the shapes option).

I add a second little shape to imitate a tab on the top. (The style I'm after is trying to show pages with tabs) - Unless there's a easier way to do that.

It is on this shape that I add my text.

The text points to a link (using the buttonize function).

When I finish and save all this, the buttons disappear (sometimes).

I will put up a temporary page tonight to show you what I'm facing.

The site is www.kimbezaire.com. There's an "under construction" page there now. Yes it looks noobish but in Coffeecup's defense, it took a noob like me 2 minutes to put up.

You guys are very helpful.

One of my office's website designers told me about this product. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying this program.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it Once we get this issue figured out, you'll like it even more!
After your link is up, you'll be able to get more help with this - hang in there!

The site is temporarily up with a single page.

At the top you will see a yellow button that seems to hide behind the display. It should be in the foreground.

OK - will have a look
