Hi, My success rate using versions has been about 50% so far this year. I reckon it's down to the way I work, which tends to be a bit scatty and all over the place. This means that I start a version for a specific task, join the version, then somewhere along the lines start fiddling with something else I've just remembered, without first remembering to leave the version. In then end, most of my site gets infected with this version, which makes some things break in odd ways... One disturbing effect I ran into last week was, I think, down to me having edited a couple of through-the-web products whilst in a version I shouldn't have been in. I then ran into problems trying to commit the changes I'd made and at the end of it all, the two products I'd edited vanished from the "add products" list in the rest of the site. Has anyone any ideas what I can do to get them back and get my site back into some semblance of consitency? I've checked the control_panel/versions panel and there are no outstanding commits... Alex.

I agree, it is very easy to overlook... You find the code in "App/dtml/manage_tabs.dtml" (near line 164). A good solution would be to define a HTML class that can be configured in a stylesheet, maybe use the "system-msg" class, which is quite visible.... Dieter
