Guy Fawkes's dashboard

Really? It sounds like they're storing the data in the cookie, which means your notes won't be available from any other computer (which isn't a problem as long as you only work from one computer). – Guy Fawkes, 6 minutes ago

Thank you :) – Norry, 13 minutes ago

I finally solved the problem of the note not losing all it's data. I had to accept cookies for LabPixies.
However, getting 2 "notes" on different pages apparently is not possible because they only use one cookie!

Ok, then the Internet Explorer bug is not what's going on.

I'll look into it.

I only use Firefox. – Sara, 21 minutes ago

When they upload the file, does it ask if they want to overwrite the original file? If they then click yes, then the transfer is happening and it's probably what Guy has suggested.

We're working on the code for migration of 1.0 wikis to PBwiki 2.0, but we'll let everyone know as soon as it's available. There is a lot of testing that's needed to make sure the transition is nice and smooth. Thanks for your patience!

whoops, thanks for catching that!

The correct URL for the API is http://api.pbwiki.com

It sounds like a browser cache issue. The user could try doing a hard refresh (Ctrl-F5) and see if the new file loads. They might have to restart their browser.

At this time, there is no way for users to convert their wikis to V2.0; you would have to create a new wiki, and copy and paste everything over there. Don't forget to download, then re-upload all your files, then re-invite everyone to the new wiki.

David, wow, a whole hour? I participated in one of the online conf calls in early March. (Also about an hour.) We were told that some exciting things were being developed and were to be released 'soon'. I convinced people here to pay for the nice PB license based on the many 1.0 wikis that we had and now I'm feeling the pressure since the easiest part of group teacher training is gone (invite key).

I don't assume that it's an easy thing to fix, but there has been months of feedback and PB needs to make any change they are going to make or stick with the decisions already made so we can choke on our money and find the other alternatives we need.

While we're working on this, I'd be nice if account login could set different notifications for different wikis. I'd rather hear from some once a day and others immediately. It's a pain, but not a deal-breaker.

I use my PB's and enjoy the simplicity of use. I have 4th graders tearing through pages and adding media content easily. There are so many good things about PB. But if it's a pain to get teachers trained in large groups, I will have to go elsewhere. There are so many other alternatives.

I did check that first thing, and FF font is set to Arial. With Google Sites, and pretty much every wiki I've used in the past, there is a default font that is independent of the browser's default font. – Hugh, about 7 hours ago

Thank you for the update. I realize this is a difficult problem to solve and would like to say that I appreciate the effort PBWiki is putting into finding the right solution. – Carolyn, about 7 hours ago

What I'm after is a badge for my own wiki, that I can use as a link from my own blog - rather than a generic pbwiki badge. You had one for pbwiki 1.0 wikis, and I can see the code is still working because I've amended it to point at my pbwiki 2.0 wiki. However this is a work-around, and it would be nice to be able to pick one up from you. Especially if we could edit the text within the badge - I've had to use a domain slightly different from my wiki title, as the domain I wanted was already taken, but I'd like the badge to show the title rather than the domain.

Thanks, Michael. I have added 'Badges' to the PBwiki Missing Features Wiki.

Actually, Tamara, AdWords is where you buy keywords for people to find your wiki. You pay money for adwords. I think you mean AdSense, where you place ads on your site, and Google pays you. I have successfully used AdSense on a V1.0 wiki (see an example here. I have not been able to get tem to work in a V2.0 wiki yet. Are you using a V1.0 or V2.0 wiki?

Hi! A couple of people have asked why we didn't just put invite keys into 2.0. After all "the code exists", right?

The issue is that 1.0 had a lot of very different ways to get into a wiki. The login page itself became very confusing (are you logging in with an invite key? Or a user account?) and we couldn't make guarantees about exactly who had done exactly what on the wiki. This generated a lot of support requests and it just wasn't a good, simple, "peanut buttery" solution. We tried several different iterations of login screen to see if we could message the dual systems more clearly, but this generally didn't pan out.

When designing 2.0 the team therefore made a decision to first have a unified and simplified login system that just asks for a username and a password. We recognized that this wouldn't solve the needs of everyone in 1.0 and that therefore we'd need to put some time into thinking about ways we could have our cake and eat it too to get to a place where we had a system effective for educators.

I appreciate the intensity on this thread. It's quite clear from the volume and passion that you want the 2.0 features and a mechanism to get students in that's as straightforward as an invite key. Some very specific and very helpful suggestions have been put forth on this thread that we'll be taking into account.

Just so you guys know, this is one of the very top issues at the company - all of the company managers got together for over an hour today (with this GS thread on the projector) to discuss how we were going to resolve this. We are determined to get you a timely solution that meets your needs.

Our apologies for the bumps along the way as we grow and work to provide you with the best wiki solution ever. Thank you for your patience.

I'm completely clueless about where I'm supposed to insert: 5px 10px 5px Opt; float: left; Nothing on the Advanced section of the image's properties is obvious. Could you be more specific? – Sara, about 17 hours ago

We still aren't ready to launch the migration tool - I don't have an ETA for you, but I know it's in the final stages of testing. If you need to show your bosses what a 2.0 wiki can do, why don't you create a demo one for them? I would also recommend talking to sales@pbwiki, they have all sorts of hard numbers and resource materials for you and your company to consider. – Casey Greene, about 21 hours ago
