Disabling a website connection

When Contribute starts, it verifies all the connections defined in the My Connections dialog box and opens a connection to each of the defined websites. If one or more of the websites are unavailable for any reason, Contribute can’t open connections to those websites. To avoid such problems, you can disable a connection when a website is unavailable.

Note: If Contribute is unable to connect to a website, Contribute may automatically disable the connection to that website.

Another reason to disable a site is that Contribute may run slowly when many sites are defined, because it must maintain multiple network connections over an extended period. To alleviate such performance problems, you can disable sites that you don’t frequently need to update.

To disable a Contribute website connection:

  1. Select Edit > My Connections (Windows) or Contribute > My Connections (Macintosh).
  2. The My Connections dialog box appears.

  3. Select the website connection you want to disable from the list of connections.
  4. Click the Disable button.
  5. A dialog box appears informing you that the connection has been disabled. Click OK to verify that this is the connection you want to disable. If you have inadvertently disabled the wrong connection, you can re-enable the connection; for more information, see Enabling a website connection.

  6. Click Close to save your changes and close the My Connections dialog box.
