I have an educational wiki at wikispaces that I'd like to migrate to pbwiki. Is there a built-in tool to do this, or do I need an external program?

My 2.0 wiki front page looks great on my pc, but my students lost the entire right-hand side of the page on the classroom laptops. my daughter's laptop at home does the same thing. It's not a screen resolution thing, because if you click a link to another page, the sidebar seems to appear there. How can I restore the sidebar and all the other items on the right side of the front page for them?

Does the system support sub-folder? If so, how can I set it?

I'm the creator of our company wiki, but I'm leaving the company. How do we assign the creator to another employee?

Just wondering how long PBwiki will support 1.0. I frequently help students and faculty create wikis and know that some prefer 1.0. Will they be forced to migrate to 2.0 in the near future?

What is PBwiki 2.0? Do I need to buy it? Is it an upgrade? Some one told me to use it for Passworded pages insted of PHP.

Before I ask my question, I want to point out that getsatisfaction.com is a pain in the ass. The window to type in is way too small and it's doing funky formatting which basically makes my question unreadable. I've just edited three times and even I can't tell what I'm asking. Basically the upgrade keeps sending me email to confirm I'm the creator, when I get the email and start the upgrade process it brings me back to confirming I'm the creator.

Upgrade process to 2.0 seems to be messed up. I signed up for the upgrade. Got email #1 which said in step 2:

There is no point and click editor on my wiki, no way to change from one version to another, yet, I get a message when I try to click the link to migrate that I already have 2.0. so why does my page look the same and there's no link to the editor?

Where do I go to find other sample pbwikis that other educators have created? Is there such a thing as a search feature for created wikis?

If I have some javascript want to add in the page, how can I add in the HTML plugin?

We use a number of Google Gadgets on our wiki to display a weather forecast, currency converter, calculator etc. They display fine in Firefox, but on IE6 they don't show when the page loads.

If the page is refreshed after it loads the gadget is then shown. I added the same gadgets to our website just to see if it was a general IE problem or confined to the Wiki and the gadgets were fine in IE6 on the web. I know of at least one other pbwiki user who has the same problem. I wonder if anyone else has had the same issue and if anyone found a workaround/fix?

Many thanks

Can/how do I use pbwiki as an intranet only? My company already has web servers and is going to be very leery of any outside hosting regardless of security.

My embedded spreadsheets are showing as file not found, that is after viewing them fine yesterday. Can you help?

Some how in the process of moving a picture from a file to a page, I lost editing settings and all images on the wiki! I don't know what happened. One minute everything was fine and then when I right clicked to change the properties, ALL images disappeared! Any idea what it going on? Is it possible that I right clicked on the wrong thing that would have made this happen? I feel terrible it is a new wiki for a graduate class!

I am using my pbwiki as a class webpage. I need to be able to keep track of who makes what changes, because I want to be able to grade participation in the wiki, and also keep track of any vandalism.

So there are two problems, one right from the begining. If I invite my students by plugging their email into the invite screen, they get an email that has a link, the link asks them to create a password for their pbwiki account, and then they can add my wiki to their account. The problem is that, now instead of a name, like "Joe Smith", I see in my Users list an email like "jojowikity123@someemail.com".

The second problem is that, when I look at the history for a page, I usually see who edited it (but it seems like a page with one edit doesn't show it), but I can't see who deleted a page. Not too much of a problem since I don't have any students who have the ability to delete pages, but I might have some students become moderators, and then that's something that I'd need. It'd also be nice to see that I've deleted a page anyway, so that I could undelete it later.
