Take a pinch of product caching, a large site and some complex search index generation you get an unwelcome surprise.

I've installed the software,I did uninstall the previous version, just preparing to import my snapshot which is (cough) 164MB so i'm going to wait till the morning, so i have support all ready waiting for my call!

I'll check the forum before continuing for any related problems that i might encounter.The missing products and images could be an issue for me with a large number of duplicates so the verdict? V9.0.3 hope you are worth the wait!

Will give you the results when i have some!

Is it wise to install software with known issues which have been experienced by many users? Why not save yourself some aggro and wait until this (probably) minor bug is ironed out? There's going to be another version anyway.

Your mad to do this - leave it until the updated version is released

IMHO your mad, the problem definately seems to only show on larger sites so if your snapshot is that big, i would recon that theres a 99% chance you going to be in the same boat. The new release wont be long away as the fault has already been i dentified and fixed.

I've taken your advice and held off upgrading, I had really big issues when it went wrong the last time we went MU hence the track back to 8.5.3.

I wish i only had 1 product, currently we have around 7K items for sale with duplicates, its only 30% full, we have more products to add to the current line up.

I've been waiting like everyone else for a MU fix which will take our size snapshot. I think our actual site1 folder is around 1gig at the moment, mainly images which are not yet used as we have stopped putting products on the db.

Thank you all for your assistance and feedback, just to let you know v9.0.3 has been released.

Using insert layout in design view (pink swirly thing) causes Actinic to crash.

This is still happening in v9.0.3.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It has been with Actinic support for 2 weeks and no reply back yet.
