Yes, disabling User Account Control in Vista has fixed the problem (I hope it doesn't create others).

My version is 3.7.4. It's not encrypted as far as I know.
I have disabled the User Access control for Vista to see if this helps. I'll see when I restart the system.
Otherwise, it might be something that happened with a recent Windows Update.
Basically, if I include any auto-generated Wiki mark-up, it renders the page invisible.

It looks like I can't view a page now if it has the [^%BACKLINKS%] code.

Insert image link

It would help things along very nicely if there was a dialogue for inserting online images, as there is for an offline image.

Related to that, is it worth thinking down the track the possibility of being able to customise the insert dialogue, so we could include ideosyncratic tags.

I'm curious about how other users have found ways of using CSS to enhance what is already a great program.

I find the problem with the HTC HD a little different. The today plug in doesn't appear in the Today screen when the 3D flo is activated. When it is disenabled, it appears, but there's no button for the keyboard available to enter information.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realise about the down key. That's good enough for me. In NoteStudio I recall that as you typed the link it would put the matching entry in the text box automatically. I don't know if that's too complex.

One other little detail. I like the footer with dates of the page creation and change very much. But currently it's the same font as the main entry. I couldn't find a way of changing this in the style sheet. Is there another way of changing the formatting?

Thanks for the reply.

Salvation, but still progress to be made

I have been sad for the last year since I learned that NoteStudio had been abandoned. There just wasn't anything else that offered simple wiki structure with Palm sync. Eventually I abandoned Palm and took up Windows Mobile. I thought I'd just export my NoteStudio pages to web pages and navigate them. So it's wonderful to see bLade Wiki, which even improves on NoteStudio. I particularly like being able to customise the appearance with a style sheet.

But I can see improvements ahead. Inserting a link is still a little clunky for me. I would be much easier if there was an autocomplete, rather than having to reach for the mouse everytime. Keeping the mouse resting happily seems a key to good software for me.

Cheers.
