Emily Hummel replied on October 16, 2008 04:35 to the question "How well supported (by PBwiki v.2) is Safari v.3.1.2 Mac?" in PBwiki:

I don't want to quibble, and this is coming from someone that uses Safari as their main browser, but you can't edit images in Safari.

I'm talking about dragging to change the size as well as being able to right click and change dimensions, location, things of that nature -- it works fine in Firefox, but not at all in Safari. This makes me very sad, because it's not fun to have to open up a whole different browser just to change aspects of an image.

That being said, that's the only problem I've found... and Rachel I know you said you were looking into a work-around -- has one been found yet?

jac2 -- That's exactly what I was hoping for. I'm thinking since the Files box already has a "Browse" text entry-esque box, there would definitely be room for one on the Links page... Please, oh, please!

Emily Hummel replied on August 18, 2008 03:07 to the question "I want to Lock pages but still have comments available" in PBwiki:

Yes, but you don't have an account that is a Reader on my Wiki. I'm assuming that all your students would have pbwiki accounts linked to your wiki?

I went and added a separate email as if I were a second person -- but I had to create a pbwiki account for them. Have you tried creating a separate account as a test on your wiki, giving yourself access, and testing it out? You should be able to make the settings so that someone can read and comment on a page, but not edit.

Emily Hummel replied on August 17, 2008 20:41 to the question "I want to Lock pages but still have comments available" in PBwiki:

I believe you can do this by setting the page security to "Lock this page so only Administrator can edit it" -- comments should still be enabled!

I tested this out on my wiki, here: https://seagarden.pbwiki.com -- the FrontPage is secured as such, and I made a new account (Reader, to fully see) and I was still able to comment.

Hopefully this helps?

What about when I press "Show all tags" -- none of the tags that I've used show up. Strange... thoughts? I'm positive I've entered tags on different pages on the wiki... hmmm.

Platinum 2.0 wiki, incidentally.

Emily Hummel replied on August 10, 2008 22:00 to the question "Consolidation of "Insert Link" list?" in PBwiki:

Just following up to see if there's been any movement on this!

I'm trying to brainstorm myself to think of other options... even putting in an option where you can type in the first few letters and it comes up alphabetically? :)

Emily Hummel replied on July 29, 2008 01:21 to the question "How can I tell how many pages are linked to a specific page?" in PBwiki:

I just do a wiki-wide search for the term... especially if it's specific enough to be a page name. :) I keep that open in another tab, and link out to the pages that need changes from there.

A comment on the question "Can I change my wiki from 1.0 to 2.0?" in PBwiki:

Casey, I've transferred one of my 1.0 wikis ( https://seagarden.pbwiki.com ) over using the beta-testing goodness (among other things) but I plum forgot about a second one I have (clearly, not a top priority). Should I just sign up in that switch form you linked to, or do I have to do something else?

Thanks so much! – Emily Hummel, on June 22, 2008 17:02

A comment on the problem "I have problems using wikis on Safari. The tools are not there. Any help?" in PBwiki:

Rachel: Awesome! If a work-around isn't possible, using Firefox (now v. 3!) for my wiki is working just dandy... so I'll just keep using that. Thanks! – Emily Hummel, on June 18, 2008 15:49

A comment on the problem "I have problems using wikis on Safari. The tools are not there. Any help?" in PBwiki:

Rachel: I am using 2.0, with a platinum wiki. I mostly use Firefox, since I have quite a few images, but every once in a while, I forget, open Safari, and while everything else in 2.0 works *fantastically,* it's just the image re-sizing that doesn't appear to work. Sorry about not being clear -- I'll blame it on the early hour when I posted! :) – Emily Hummel, on June 18, 2008 15:41

Emily Hummel replied on June 18, 2008 13:45 to the problem "I have problems using wikis on Safari. The tools are not there. Any help?" in PBwiki:

Also, I can't change image sizes in Safari... like click-and-dragging re-sizing that I can do in Firefox.

Emily Hummel replied on June 18, 2008 13:41 to the idea "Can we have a way to "save and continue editing" pages, so that we aren't forced to leave editing mode every time we want to save our work?" in PBwiki:

Just want to say that this sounds great!

Emily Hummel replied on June 14, 2008 01:15 to the discussion "What if we *need* apostrophes in our page titles?" in PBwiki:

Sweet -- I didn't know you could just enter it in like that! Thanks!

What if we *need* apostrophes in our page titles?

Ok. I know that apostrophes cannot be used in page titles (though if they are, it turns them into a silly "%27," but I wanted to start talking on possible solutions for page titles that *need* apostrophes.

I think it's fine that the urls have no apostrophes (no need!), but it is the translation to the automatic "title" of the page that is a sticky wicket. I know this doesn't sound clear, but I've made one of my wiki pages public to clarify:

https://seagarden.pbwiki.com/Sylviana...

It's the orange text to which I refer -- in this case, it looks sloppy if I can't use an apostrophe in the possessive sense... Is there any way we could make those titles of pages separate from the exact URL?

(pretty please? :) )

Also, if it's of any concern, I'm using a 2.0 wiki, and I'm platinum.

Sounds like a plan! I can't wait.
