I have uploaded many images which I have put in tables on various pages to provide as links to other pages in my wiki .

When I log in as the administrator the images/links all appear and the pages and tables are how I designed them. However, when I log in as one of my writers these images and links to other pages have disappeared and the tables have been reformatted. The small boxes to show that there was an an image or link in place are not even present which means that my writers can't navigate round the wiki and subsequently can't use it.

I have just upgraded to the classroom edition and am discouraged that this has happened.

What immediate solutions are there to allow my writers to navigate around the wiki and use it as it is meant, and to restore links and images that have been created?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Last week due to writers files and images becoming too mixed up with administrator files and images in the edit pages I was forced to make the decision to upgrade my wiki to the classroom level.
However my credit card was not accepted with no reason given.
I wrote an enquiry to the billing section (Case #00067555) ref:00D78eKn.50078TuWw:ref and did not hear anything for several days.
I again tried to upgrade, my card was again rejected, again I wrote to the billing department (Case #00067647) ref:00D78eKn.50078U2RB:ref, and yet again I have not heard anything after several days.

This is not the first time that enquiries have not been answered. Last year I applied for the presenters pack as I was giving a presentation on my wiki at a conference and also I did not hear anything from you. Does the presenters' pack even exist?

I have put a lot of time into building and putting together my wiki and this lack of response is not building my confidence in the service

I have been forced to make the upgrade and need to make this separation between writers files and administrators files in edit pages.

I would appreciate a prompt reply and some immediate help.

I have created over 60 student accounts for students without e-mail addresses. When students tried to log in using the usernames and passwords that I created and which were sent to my e-mail many had problems because upper case letters that I had entered and had confirmed by e-mail were not acceptable. They were only able to use lower case letters.
Can you please tell me why this is and why I would be sent confirmation of usernames and passwords if they have to be changed to lower case letters?

Additionally, in part due to this problem I had to re-create some student usernames and passwords. So these students' usernames were deleted from the list of users, and I created new users for these students using the same username but was told that these names were already in use. These usernames were not in use because I had deleted them and had received confirmation that they had been deleted.
Can you please tell me why this is.

As I now have over 60 new students using my wiki please can you tell me how as an administrator I can keep my images and files I have uploaded hidden and unavailable to my students who will need to upload images and files in the edit pages. I do not want my students do have access to administrator files and images in the edit pages.

This should be an automatic feature as administrators logically have files and images that they do not want writers to have access to. How can I do this?

Could I please receive an update on several issues that have been raised in the past about folders?

Specifically :
- Creating sub-folders to go inside other folders
- Resorting the order of folders as the number of folders grows
- Putting files into folders

It seems like these have been popular questions that have not been touched upon recently. I would like to know if any further developments have been made.

I would also like to ask about creating separate folders in the images and files pages that can be locked/only an administrator would have access to. In creating the wiki I have used many images. When students create pages for projects they will also want to add images to those pages. When students upload images they will go into the main images and files pages and be mixed with my administrative images. Is there a way that I can keep these apart?

For education these features are highly desirable for different classes, projects, teams and the collaborative process that pbwiki is working towards serving.
Thank you.

Have there been any further developments on adding audio files to wikis (1.0)?

I found a question by Allison 6 months ago asking the same thing and would like to know if there have been any updates made to assist in either embedding audio files or podcasts or being able to add audio files to wiki pages.

I also have been looking at the "How to .." pages for the wiki 2.0 created by Rachel Penning and want to know if the information there can also be applied to the wiki1.0?

Is there a page out there somewhere that lists all the source codes that can be used when formatting/creating your wiki?

My non-native English speaking students are asking lots of questions about how to do various formatting edits and it is very time consuming for me to trawl through all the topics in order to find the correct codes.

I would love to be able to give my students quick answers so that they can produce their wikis without having to wait for me to get back to them.
