I have problems using wikis on Safari. The tools are not there. Any help?
The editing tools are not displayed on the safari browser. Is there something I can do (I have the latest browser version).

The current (early January 2008) release of PBwiki lets you use Safari to edit pages with the 'Classic' editor - it's text-only, and doesn't show the resulting styles, images and text sizes you'd see with our 'Point and Click' editor - the one you're used to seeing on Firefox or Internet Explorer.
We're working hard on the next release, in previews soon, which will work on Safari just like it does on Firefox and Internet Explorer. We'll most likely require Safari version 3, but that's a free download for most versions of OS X and Windows. I personally prefer Safari as my browser and the new PBwiki is very fast, so I'll be a happy camper and hopefully so will you.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Any idea if the Safari-friendly changes will also enable Fluid SSBs? Fluid is based on WebKit, so I hope so! -
Inappropriate?Stephen,
Not having tried Fluid, I'll commit to 'probably' but no assurances at this time. We may have to make slight changes in the browser-detection code to make it work, but the underlying WebKit framework should work fine.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Fluid is cool! You can create SSBs (Site-Specific Browsers) for individual sites... I have one for banking, one for Google Apps, one for the university intranet, etc. So you can work without worrying about some rogue page crashing all twenty tabs that you have open. With a custom icon, it basically gives me a standalone desktop application for my PBwiki site! Check it out at <http://fluidapp.com/>.

Inappropriate?How does a statement that pbwiki's Point and Click mode does not work with Safari count as a solution to the problem? That's an acknowledgement that the problem is not solved.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Hi Matt,
We've released PBwiki 2.0, which supports Safari nicely. It works great, and as promised, I'm using PBwiki with the point-and-click editor just fine. Newly-created wikis are 2.0 by default now, and we're working now on bringing our existing user's wikis from 1.0 to 2.0 mode, which includes Safari support.
I’m happy

Sounds good. I didn't realize that from the information here.
