Martin's dashboard

This problem is why I'm not using PBWiki. Even if the wiki I'm using right now doesn't have preformatted text, I'm still not using PBWiki. It's better for the users when there's annonymous logins. That's what a wiki is about.

The "guest" email and password can simply be published in the "this will be seen on the logon page" textbox of the pbwiki settings, so no-one has to remember it.

Annoyingly this does require us (pbwiki creators) to go to an outside system and create a completely separate email address to deal with the new constraints that have been added to the pbwiki login system, instead of having an option within pbwiki to add a guest login.

This is harder to use, with fewer editing options, and less access than a regular website. I like the idea of using a name and a password. Kids can remebr their names but a fake e-mail address and a password is way too much for any reasonable person to ask.

Hello! You can create a generic email address and give it access to your wiki. Then your users can use that email to sign in. Would that work for you? – Rachel Pennig, on May 28, 2008 23:47

Shoot - if there is no way around this then it is a problem for my whole idea of the advantages a wiki is supposed to provide.

I may have picked another provider if I had known this - now it may be too late.

As everyone knows, these days, people are just so concerned about providing email addresses...
