How do I set up the Sidebar so that by clicking on an item the user will be led to the topics? Sorry, I'm a real novice! I edited the Sidebar with a list of potential places to go for pages, etc. The list appears on the Front Page but nothing happens when I click to open it. I'm assuming that I would open it to then add pages that I want stored there.
At one point in my messing around, I did have the Sidebar titles "linked" and in one case, I added a page that I had completed but to the wrong Sidebar title. I could not remove it and then could not replicate whatever I did. Beginners confusion!
I made a new wiki, Concertg.pbwiki.com. It's for composers to share there music for free. Concertg.pbwiki.com is an add-on to Concertg.com. If you have any questions E-mail: concertg.wiki@gmail.com.

Any benefits to 1.0 compared to 2.0?
Collegues of mine that don't work much with computers may find the simplicity of 1.0 easier to handle. Is 1.0 easy to customize than 2.0? I want to have a killer side bar and a artistic front page and that is it. I have no need for complex sidebar action in 2.0 (folder, tags, security, detailed recent activity etc.). But I may want to upgrade to 2.0 later when we have more members.
Can I make a link in the sidebar that will pull up all the pages that have the same tag in it?
Or a list of all the pages with that tag?
For example, if 1000 people entered their books in my wiki and 100 of them are tagged with the word "picture book" and another 250 of them are tagged with the word "family" I want to have links in the sidebard that will pull up all the pages tagged with "picture book" and another one with all the pages tagged "family".
I may be asking the Wiki to be something it isn't designed to be - like a database - but I'd like to see if I could make it work.
For now I am using 2.0 but I think I will have to ask to be switched to 1.0 because I will need to make this available to a large number of people.
In V1, PBwiki used "edit locks" to prevent simultaneous editing of a page. In V2, however, I am able to log in to IE, Safari and FireFox, and edit the same page, at the same time. Why is this possible? I double-checked, and V1 will not allow this to happen.
While adding some pages to my wiki today (V2), I noticed that the insert/edit links dialog box now defaults to inserting a link to a new page, like in V1. I also noticed that there is now a rename page link by the heading of the page itself.
I was wondering if there is a changelog somewhere so that I can keep up-to-date with the little things like this that may confuse some of the less computer-literate people that I work with.
If comments disappear, is there a way to bring them back? Why would comments disappear in the first place?!
I am using 2.0 for a class, with a folder for each student. In that folder, they are Editors, and the rest of the class has no access at all. As an Administrator, I can see their folder and pages in that folder.
I've left some comments on their pages -- "fix this", "I like that", etc. But when they edit those pages, the comments disappear. What happened? They didn't try to remove my comments, and want to see those comments to see what changes I've recommended.
I have started a new wiki for a multi-country academic research project - it ios all very exciting until I try to get my (>10) partenrs to sign up. Two have already written back saying they can't! Here is todays complaint:
Hi Oliver,
I have tried registering myself at the Wiki site. It
gives me a message that my e-mail account is created
but has not been verified. Have tried re-sending the
information, but it does not seem to work. Perhaps I
am not getting it right.
Thus, I have not been able to access the page as yet.
It would be great to have some help with this. Sorry
for the bother.
How do I let anyone with a pbwiki account edit my 2.0 pbwiki? I'd rather not invite EVERYONE one email at a time. Or even just let anyone edit. ANYHING that will avoid inviting new users. That will probably make me leave pbwiki (and I even pay for it!)
I have a version 2 wiki and inserted a picture into a page. Set ALIGN=LEFT, which worked. BORDER=20 doesn't seem to put any white space around picture VSPACE=20 or HSPACE=20 does'nt work either
Can the list of users be sorted? We have over 200 users and it becomes pretty unmanagement if they're not in there alphabetically. Is it possible to do this?
