    Moving to a new server

    I think its quite a convoluted way. If we did this for you on the managed support plan we would;

    1. Take a full backup.
    2. "Diff" against the same version to pull out an exact report of code changes.
    3. Apply these code changes to 6.2.14.
    4. Upgrade using the customised package. 

    I've done this many times. It's very time consuming but we do it at no extra cost to a regular upgrade.

    6.0.6 has security holes so hopefully they have been patched. If not then you need to check that it hasn't been hacked. If it has then it needs to be cleansed. There is a support article about how to do that. A classic hacked store may be running code snippets you don't know about. These can be viewed in the "Manage Hooks" section in the "Code Snippets" tab.

    Specify external folder for images (another website)

    So you should be able to do this then. I don't know if this would work but you could try creating a new linux user with its own group.

    e.g. imgsrc:imgsrc with a home directory at /home/imgsrc

    Then move all the images there and add each of your cPanel accounts to the "imgsrc" group and give all the account a symlink form their /home/{user}/public_html/images/source folder to /home/imgsrc. You might be able to take this further and symlink the images/cache folder to save more disk space. 

    This is all theory and may not work at all but sounds doable.

    they have come back now and confirmed it was an issue with the link ownership.

    I might look into other options though, particularly hosting all the images seperately for google feeds etc so if it goes wrong again its not both websites and feeds all knocked out in one.

    Makes sense. Can't say I blame them. Stuck between a rock and a hard place here... I suppose the only solution is to put all sites on one cPanel account if you want to use symlinks. However if one gets hacked they all get hacked. 

    Maybe you do need to mirror or rsync the images/source folder.

    I don't blame the hosting company for making this change. It's best for the greater good.

    it does not work on another skin also. have tried  why is not showing recaptcha here ? it is as if there is no recaptcha at all

    this must be a chrome issue as it is showing the phrase on firefox

    strange that i can place a review in chrome but not in firefox

    Because the skin isn't compatible I expect. Does it work with default foundation skin? If so you haven't updated the skin properly.
