Hey! Check out your 2.0 wiki - pay close attention to the button next to "Insert Plugin" that looks like an eraser. We just added this recently, and it's pretty cool. Also, it doesn't break links!

Have fun!

Furthermore, this should be fixed now, so let us know if it's not. Thanks!

You need to put this in a new complaint post instead of here, Penny. :) Go up to the very top of your page and click 'Start a Topic'.

I'm new to wikis, so forgive me for being a newbie. When I "created" my first page, I got a list of a variety of formats and I was so excited. Now I only get "Would you like to apply a template" and the default is checked "NO TEMPLATE" and I get no templates. I can no longer find a way to access the templates. I believe I'm using the beta version. I'd really like to be able to use and delete the templates, or check a box which allows me to "Use a template" rather than a "NO TEMPLATE" box. Thanks.

This is definitely needed. It is high priority on our roadmap!

'Remove formatting' option in point & click

I think the point and click editor for the PBWiki could benefit from a 'remove formatting' button. I often find it difficult to switch from one highly-formatted type of font to another, or to remove formatting such as links. It typically involves having to delete the text involved, as well as any leading or trailing white space that might have taken on the formatting as well. Sometimes it requires deleting into the word before it in order to take on that formatting. Needless to say, this can be very irritating and difficult to work with. A way to simply remove formatting from selected font would solve the problem nicely.

Is there something different about how the Wiki describes Verdana, since Ubuntu will recognize it on that first site, and with the Wiki's unformatted font, but not on the formatted font? :\

Ah, thank you, that's very helpful! (I maintain that a 'remove formatting' option would be handy, but I suppose that's for a separate suggestion post. :)

Facepalm indeed! I understand your frustration. What is going on here is that every web browser or Operating System (etc,etc) handles fonts themselves. The best that we can do is tell the browsers "hey, this font should be Verdana, or Arial, or New Times Roman".

That website that I linked to above is a list of the most common fonts that most web browsers support.

Anyway, here is a website that might help you get the fonts on your Ubuntu machine looking nice: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/0...

Yay Ubuntu!

The Verdana font on that site looks fine on this computer.

Ah, of course. *facepalm* I went and checked the Wiki page on a PC running Windows XP (I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy) and it looked fine there. Guess my OS doesn't want to read the Wiki's version of Verdana for some reason. (Which is odd, because it works everywhere else.)

Joel Franusic replied on March 24, 2008 19:24 to the problem "Verdana font is now serif?" in PBwiki:

Can you try a different computer and see if the fonts are rendered the same way on the other computer? Also, try and visit http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/Wi... and see if the Verdana font there also has serifs.

Verdana font is now serif?

So the 'Verdana' font selection on the drop-down font list for point-and-click seems to have become a serif font, and there's nothing I can do to turn it off.

Non-formatted font continues to remain sans-serif, but the problem is, there is no 'remove formatting' button (which I propose should be implemented, since it would make stuff like removing links a lot easier!), so I have no way to unformat the font.

Quite frankly, the serif font is annoying and difficult to read, and I'd appreciate it if someone could find a way to undo this. I tried switching the entry to classic editor, but that removed almost all my formatting, made half the entry bold, got rid of my indents, etc. etc., and I didn't want to have to dig through the whole thing to repair it.

The page in question is here: http://moksa-university.pbwiki.com/Ma...(Okage) , and the section in question is under "Game Canon", but I'm experiencing the same problem on other pages on the Wiki. Any way to fix it?

What are the odds? I'm Canadian too. XD And ah, stripping. I was wondering whether it might have been something like that. Duly noted, then! Thank you!

Alright, our new guy Mark, from Canada, figured it out.

The URLs you used in the last three links are being interpreted as javascript, because, and I quote, "the regex sees 'script' in one of the early URLs and sees '/script' in one of the later URLs and snips out everything between them."

He suggested using TinyURL (tinyurl.com) for those particular URLS, as that would probably work.

That probably also explains why the error was restricted to the one page, and why I couldn't reproduce it on my side.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm having someone else take a look right now. And the username icon person head thing doesn't show up, so you're good there.
