My page worked fine on both servers last night, however, this morning i am getting a message that says URL not found. I made no alterations between last night at around one and now (11:30). Are you working on the pages? Where have they gone?

I didn't touch them. Honest!!!

Unfortunately, I can't say for sure exactly what happened. The normal explanation for problems like this is that students often save their work in the wrong folder. You should be saving your "tables.html" file in "www". If you accidentally saved in somewhere else (SysVol is popular), and only previewed it by clicking on the PageSpinner preview button you would not notice any problems while working on it. When you look for it through a "http://..." URL, however, it won't be found. Worse yet, if you stored in in SysVol (or on the desktop), it will have been deleted since our Macs are configured to clean their disks up each time they restart.
