Problems since moving site from localhost to new server.
Permalink
Hi,
I am hoping that the generous people of the Concrete community could help me out of a spot of bother!
I thought I followed the various tutorials on moving a sites OK, but to my frustration and despair it hasn't worked out!
My website worked in localhost but since moving it I've encountered several problems:
1) website is slow!
2) Some of the images are missing and showing a question mark. The images that do work are the ones that I've put in using the Popup Pro block. The images that are broken are the ones I put in using the content block.
3) When I import a new image through Dashboard > File manager I get question marks in the preview, thumbnail and when I view it.
3) Email doesn't work. It worked fine in localhost.
4) The website doesn't display correctly in Internet Explorer. I use a mac but tested today internet explorer and its a complete disaster!
As I am the youngest and most computer literate person I my village I have been tasked with the responsibility of building a website for the community hall.
With no knowledge of php and mysql and only minimal experience in html and css I have absolutely no idea whats gone wrong.
I'm slowly losing hair through stress and I too young to go bald!!!! If anyone can suggest any ideas I would be truly grateful.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I took out the comments above <!DOCTYPE html> and I've tested it using Sauce Labs. It appears IE 9 and 10 are okay, IE8 just about works while its a no go in IE7. Unfortunately, just now someone has just told me that it isn't working for them on IE9!!!!
I have cleared the cache many, many times and the broken images still remain. When I import new images through Dashboard > File manager I get a question marks in the preview, thumbnail and when I view it. This is a major headache!!!! Can't I import new images but the existing images are displaying correctly!!!???
I used Popup Pro as opposed to the free Lightbox as it clashes with my site, which results with the border on the right cutting off. I will disable pop ups for now as the issues above are more important.
Any suggestions before I totally lose my mind!!!

It looks like your missing images are being called from the cache and I imagine they are not there anymore after being cleared.
PM me if you would like me to take a closer look.

It needs to be this only:
As for the images, try clearing the C5 cache. Type 'Cache' into the Intelligent Search box and choose 'Clear Cache'
As for speed issues... when your site was on your localhost, it had exclusive use of your CPU and no internet bandwidth issues to deal with. Now that it's on a shared computer, your site shares the CPU with hundreds of other sites on the same computer and you have to wait for images to download.
I noticed that on your 'History' page, you are using the Popup add-on to get the lightbox effect but that add-on seems to download the large image onto the page and then shrink it. That is slow. There is a free 'lightbox image' add-on that renders a smaller copy of the image but links to the larger image for use in the lightbox. If you are just after the lightbox effect, I would use the free version for this. It will speed up your site.
