How do you change a picture on the profile? (instead of the PB sandwich or the shadow profile) I didn't like the old one, and then when I wanted to upload a new picture, I clicked on where to find the picture through my files on the computer. Then the old picture is still there, and the new picture does not pop up.

How do I get rid of the old picture, so I can insert a new one?

I have a student who is using our class wiki (2.0 pbwiki), and when she tries to edit a page, it gives her a page error.

I can see that she's logged in and editing.

It does not show the toolbar or any text in the edit box. She is using a dell desktop with Internet Explorer installed as her browser.

She can use her laptop withour any problems. What could be missing - software? plugins? on her desktop?

Any ideas?
Thanks!

How do I edit comments as the writer or as admin

I want to be able to delete selected comments on my wiki pages. Is that possible? How do I do it?

I invited a staff member to be editor and he is unable to log on. When I visit the settings tab and click on users, his email is listed but when I go to click on it, I get the following message:
Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed. Is this a clue to the mystery? Thanks for your help!

Can someone clarify the pricing structure for PBWiki? I have a small business, and I would like two people to have full read / write permissions on the wiki. I would like the front page to be public, but i would like to give customers page-by-page access permissions, with the ability to comment, but not write as such. So the invited customers would need to register, but i only want them to be able to comment on a page i give them permission to view, not to edit.

From the information I found, i am having problems working out if I have to pay, and if so, what!

Thanks,
Callie

Are WikiStyle and the Classic Editor gone? I asked "Vu Nguyen" a couple of weeks ago, in a thread about editor switching, but he declined to respond. Can I get an "Official Response" on this? Thanks!

I've read that sidebars appear on every page, but I can also see the sidebar and folders sections. Is this due to my administrator status? How do I link from a title in the sidebar to my folders for users who can't see both? So far I can link to an individual page but how do I link to a whole folder where I've set up related pages?

Search is like doing a search in quotes on Google?
Unless I am wrong, then this is a hindrance to take up of our business wiki by users. I have just tested v1 & v2. Our problem is that generally we want search results to be weighted:
Exact match (excluding case) (i.e. words appear together and in the same order)
All words appear in title
All words appear in title or text

We can't let Google in as it is a private business wiki and so needs credentials. So am I right, if so, are there any plans to "improve" the search?

The business case is that the WIKI is getting large and users are not finding things quickly, which is reducing the effectiveness and adoption of the WIKI. I had just assumed the search would be Googlesque.

Is there a reason why pbwiki does not work in china?

What are the limitations for a free wiki

How do I add HTML and JavaScript into a Wiki page or template? I try to edit the source & save it, but when I view my page, it completely erases all HTML and JavaScript code.

I am using version 2.0. Thank you.

Where is the selection to allow me to add other writers to change or edit the wiki? I was easily able to create a long list of contributors when I began the wiki, but I can't find the window I used before. Where did it go? There isn't a menu or toolbar on the wiki that I can see. I just see the Safari toolbar.

I have a private wiki but want to allow external people to read the Front page. So I make it public. But when I log out to see the result, the photo I put on the frontpage disappear: how can I do to make it appear for everybody ?
(the photo is uploaded on my wiki, it is better that slide.com)
Thanks !

We would like to add some large URLs to comments. When we enter these in the comment field, the URL is cut off and then not linkable.
e.g.
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/co...
We would rather not use tiny URL for this. How can we make these URLs not be cut off?

should i need to invite everyone through mail personally......???

At the login page:

I paid extra to have a custom domain. wiki.kookyplan.com rather than kookyplan.pbwiki.com

But, the trouble is....

After I log in with my id and password....it gives me a link to the wiki.kookyplan.com....and if I follow it...I go to the frontPage, but it doesnt remember that I logged in....and asks me to do it again.

Then, if I try to log in from there...TROUBLE...a warning message pops up on IE...telling me that the page name and the page address are not the same...and that I should be careful!!!

This is terrible. How do I fix it??
