Hi Gonzalo - you can go directly to your wiki and click the "Lost the invite key?" link to reset your invite key. After you have done this, you will be able to add it to your PBwiki Account.

Why my PBwiki tells me that my email does not belong to the owner of it?

Why my PBwiki tells me that my email does not belong to the owner of it?
When I send an email to the owner I receive it in my email account!

My PBwiki Account says: You don't have access to any wikis yet and iI cannot add it because I neither know the invite key or password to it.
I created digitalvidea.pbwiki.com in 2007.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ruth,

I'm not aware of any online spreadsheets that allow you to do this. Our NumSum spreadsheets definitely don't allow it. I'm sorry I can't help you.

Hi KrissyMo!
Could you help me too? I have the same issue. My Pbwiki account shows no wikis and I cannot login to my own wiki!
I have perceived pbwiki passwords as an ordeal from the beginning and with this new system I am even more discouraged to use it.

Java does not run properly, it disables many online resouces

Java does not run. Java Virtual Machine Test does not run either and I cannot verify the installation. The most recurrent error message I get is:
"Several Java Virtual Machines running in the same process have leaded to a mistake".

I use Explorer 7, XP professional 2SP, Java 6 update 5.
I have installed and uninstalled Java and followed every indication on the help pages which after two weeks I know by heart.

Google Reader, Chingswings, Tapped In text chat, VoiceThread, Vaestro, MobaTalk and Podomatic among others do not work.
Please help me out, I am an online teacher.
Thanks in advance

Rename the file as a .jpg, upload it, then rename it back after it's uploaded.

I am stuck and frustrated on day one. Instead of shutting down the entire file upload procedure wouldn't it make more sense to block the individual file? By the way I have been asked to run a test Wiki for a department before we invest in a full plan. Although I understand and heartly agree with the need for filtering, so far I am unimpressed with this kind of early roadblock. And if it is true the suspension lasts days,I will look for alternatives.

"That said, yes, it is clearly overreaching by blocking you on a regular basis"

Right. :-) Clearly the heuristics get mad about .odt files, because I can post everything else without any problems - ok, everything else I've tried. And I've tried from different locations, including academic campuses and my FiOS at home.

I understand the problem, but it just seems like there's something about this particular filetype that sets off the filter in a big way.

J,
Unfortunately, the answer for the time being is 'it depends on a lot of factors' -- whether the wiki is free or premium, public or private, the country you're connecting from, age of the wiki, time since you signed up and/or cleared your browser cookies, and whether the particular ip address you're assigned appears on one of a number of real-time-blackhole lists for computers which are now or have recently sent spam emails, plus the actual file name and the rate of uploads from your IP and your 'neighbors' . It also depends on the file type the contents of the file and so on. It's a complex mix of rules designed distinguish a myriad of different attack vectors people (and robots) have used to try to abuse our system to the detriment of our real users. That said, yes, it is clearly overreaching by blocking you on a regular basis. We do recognize the need to revamp these rules and find ways to be more informative and less obnoxious, and we'll be taking that on as soon as we get past the upcoming milestone release (aka PBwiki 2.0)
