RE: [qmailtoaster] Qmailtoaster failover server procedure
Hi Eric, Sorry I was out of the office yesterday. I like the sounds of that. I will start doing that this afternoon as I get time. It will certainly make things easier to find. I will separate the tips into their own pages and then take it from there. I will let you know once I've done it, but it may take today and tomorrow, have a lot of catch up work to deal with.

I have made the changes to the tips and tricks. Now each trick is directly availble from the main page as a subsection of the tips and trick section. -Original Message- From: Craig Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 November 2006 11:07 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Qmailtoaster failover server procedure Hi Eric, Sorry I was out of the office yesterday.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Qmailtoaster failover server procedure
Nice, Craig. I like how you added a link to the TT section (page) at the bottom, although I typically just use the 'back' browser button. I figured that I'd redirect the TT page back to the TT position on the main page, so everything would be in only one place. I tried specifying the redirect as [[Main_Page#User_Tips_.26_Tricks]], but it simply took me to the top of the main page, instead of positioning at TT. I'd sure like this to work this way, so the TT page itself doesn't need to be maintained to coincide with the main page. Does anyone know how to get a redirect to work with page positioning? I'd really prefer not having to maintain the TT page separately (and redundantly). Craig Smith wrote: I have made the changes to the tips and tricks.
