Hi all,

First time posting here. I'm an amateur user of Drupal. I'm using it to build a new version of the website for the cycling club I'm in (taking shape here http://new.redhillcc.co.uk/).

The site has yet to go live and I am currently re-deploying every few days from my local dev machine where I'm developing it on wamp. When I deploy the database I use MySql Administrator to backup the dev db and then restore to the live hosted db.

I'm seeing some odd things after deploying, and I have a hunch it's because the restore isn't creating an exact copy of the dev db? For example on node creation forms the form elements appear in a different order in live than they are in dev, and there are other subtle things. All my pages are built with Panels.

Is there something wrong with how I'm deploying?

Thanks
