This is good to know - threaded discussions are sooo much better - it's one the reasons I love Atlassian's Confluence - but I haven't found another alternative with them. Zoho doesn't have them. Does wikispaces have them now?

A comment on the question "Put a forum on a wiki-page" in PBwiki:

Historically, if someone from PBwiki says it's not on their roadmap, then they have no intention of delivering that feature. In addition, they are very conscious about security, so they do not hurry when adding new features. If you have a pressing need for threaded comments in the near future, you would do well to explore alternatives. – Guy Fawkes, on May 17, 2008 22:53

I find the flat file character of PBwiki's Comments a severe problem for my application and will probably move the wikis to WetPaint or Wikispaces. I really need threaded discussions. It's been two months since Paul's notice that threads are not on the product roadmap. Any changes is this timeline? Might the feature be provided in the near future?

Moving the comments to the bottom of the wiki page (and not having to click on comments to see them) is a good move for 2.0 - but if the comments were THREADED - it would be much more useful and usable. For a good example, see Atlassian's Confluence - the comments at the bottom are threaded so that you can see who replied to whom. In a busy wiki with lots of comments and discussion that gets rolled up into the wiki page document, this is pretty vital.

It's basically just an organization scheme where replies are tabbed over from the original message. I'm not a programmer, but it seems like it couldn't be too tough!

Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to be able to meet your needs on this one. While it is an important use case, it's not on our product roadmap for the near future anyways.

I'd encourage you to investigate some of the options offered within this thread, you may find some things out there that are better suited for your particular needs.

No, but together, we make a delicious lunch. And if you use PBwiki and Get Satisfaction on your Apple computer, then it's even healthy.

Is PBWiki going to be rebranded soon as CupcakeWiki?

This is the Wikipedia article on iframes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFrame
This is how to make one - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_ifr...
And these are the W3 Standards concerning iframes - http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/...

Many people consider cupcakes to be delicious and attractive.

Can anybody give me a one-sentence pointer on what an iframe is?

Also, what's with the CUPCAKES!?

Any of them I think -- The iframe effectively just loads a webpage within a webpage doesn't it?

I looked at www.freeforums.org, which was easy but puts ads on the page, and www.phpbb3now.com, which was slightly more complicated but ad-free.

A quick Google search turned up loads of possibilties though, I just lookd at those two because they use phpBB which I'm used to and already know how to use.

I also considered trying to find a Google gadget which would do the job, since the wiki already supports those but nothing leaped out at me. There is one called PinDax which worked but was such a non-standard interface I couldn't see my users getting their heads around it very easily.

Which third party bb would work in an iframe in the meantime?

This is how they did it in the old forums. It is currently the only way to accomplish this goal. I'm sure PBwiki 2.0 will offer vast and substantial improvements in this area.
