Just What I was Looking For- 1hr later - Dissatisfied potential customer
I was very please to find PBwiki but I need a workable solution to the below issues before I will have faith to use it further:
The 'free' or 'trial' version asks for a private or public setting yet does not have the private functionality - this is misleading and should be made clear before the account is established!
This combined with the fact that you can't exchange the email address that you submit to open the account (believing that it would be 'Private') for another email address leaves me dis-trusting what otherwise appears to be just what I was looking for!
So why not just delete the new wiki and start again - because I used the wiki name that I want and it says that if you delete a wiki the name will never be available again!

Inappropriate?Nev:
All wikis (including every free version) can be a private wiki.
Just go to "Settings" and you can change a wiki from public to private.

Thanks TK, the setting was private from creation but at that time when I launched another window with the URL to test it, it showed the page! However it is not showing it now - requiring a login, so all is good on this front. Nev -
Inappropriate?Hi Nev- TK is correct, free wikis can be private. Can you explain where you saw differently?
Also, can you explain what you mean about not being able to exchange email addresses?
Thanks!

Hi Rachel, Thanks for your post.
I am refering to the email address that is shown in the top right corner of the home page. I have added an aditional email address and then tried to change it to show this one instead (and delete the original) but this does not seam to be possiable? Nev -
OK, so now that is working too. Primary email address change has stayed changed and the option to delete the original has now come up.

Hi Nev - when something like that happens, it's usually a browser caching issue, and you can clear your browser cache to force the new information in. Glad to hear it's all working now!
