Name:

I am a writer and researcher. I like to engage people with future thinking, ideas and news of new and interesting information. Some people might consider me a news addict, but I really enjoy sharing new stories and ideas with people on the web and in person. Someone once said "To be universally interesting, you need to be universally interested". That motto has served me well.

More frustrations. More features needed.

A few quick thoughts.

Assets handling should include a pop up stating that you have multiple assets with the same filename (presumably located in different folders on your drive). This pop up window should have a way to automatically rename assets.

This assets handling should also ask if you want to copy all assets into a new folder, it should check for consistency and duplications of this folder as well.

We should also have a way to make table corners rounded, and the borders of tables dotted, dashed, rounded, etc. as suggested at http://www.fusedocs.com/wishlist/

I also would like to suggest that fusion post a list that is easily accessible on their sites with a click here for known issues before purchasing.
I believe that if web site pros can send me 20 emails in the past year touting all these reasons why I need to upgrade, that they should also be able to send us emails notifying us that a know issue has been found, and that they are working on it. This would add a community supported feel to the product, rather than all of us having problems and spending hours and hours tying to fix them, only to later find out that is has been a known issue.

There should also be a page posted with frequently occurred problems, solutions for migrating from older version, etc.

It is ridiculous that anyone should have to try and find a forum to post to, wait a few days, and then be directed to a third party tutorial just to get info on migrating from another version (gotfusion tutorial in my case, gotfusion is great by the way, and thanks guys for offering a free membership opportunity) - web site pros should have all this and more already set up.

Today I sent a refund request to netobjects. We remained on hold yesterday for 40 minutes waiting for a customer service rep to answer the phone. Posting to the netobjects forums got a little help, but the solutions suggested made the site navigation a little faster (25 seconds as compared to 55 seconds), the new version 8 is still unusable for the 600 page web site that is of most concern at this time.
