Hi.

Just to say I'm an admin and I'm having the same issue - same 'missing some parameters or possibly a non-existing page' error message, too.

But I've done some mucking around with test pages to see if I can figure out the problem, and the conclusion I came to was that if the page title had an apostrophe in it, PBwiki wouldn't let you put it in a folder. Odd, no?

Hope that helps you replicate the issue and sort it out.

Yeah, I guess that'd be it then.

Oh well, at least it's incentive to keep the chapters brief.

Thanks very much!

Having spoken to someone a little more web-savvy than myself, they suggested that PBWiki was having issue loading up the longer pages on the wiki and timing out without displaying the whole page.

This seems to hold true - I experimented and trimmed the page length dome somwhat, and that vanquished the gremlins.

Yeah, I've had a trawl through the source code and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary - but then I'm hardly an expert, like I said. No orphaned divs, however.

This particular example is at
http://risingsuns.pbwiki.com/Running+...
...which is unfortunately not a public page. Can you PBwiki people not access them anyway?

Oddly, I've spoken to some of the wiki's other users and they're not having the same problem. Which would seem to imply it might be something to do with my browser? So much for Firefox3...

Additionally, when you maximise the viewing space so it takes up the whole width of the page, that seems to make the invisible text viewable again... but not consistently.

Odd.

Bottom of pages not appearing when viewed

Hi,

Just updated, and liking the new PBwiki. But some of my pages are appearing blank when viewed - the text is there when you go in to edit them (or if you view the page with the sidebar minimized), but a random chunk of page at the bottom is simply absent.

It looks like more of an imaging problem than something textual; the cut-off point is sometimes halfway down a line, leaving half-letters behind (as in the picture).



I realise that's probably not very helpful, but I'm not a technical person. If there's any information I can give you which might help solve the puzzle, let me know.

Cheers!

Now you mention it I was updating from the computers in the cafe at work, which run off the corporate site. I guess that must be it, then.

Sorry to have wasted your time...

I would have thought just that was occuring, but checking the change feed attributed the changes to myself. Besides, it happened immediately upon clicking 'save'. I wrote one thing and the saved page showed '####' where there should have been a word - and also went back through the old text and censored that as well.

I really can't think of any way to explain what happened, if you guys weren't testing a censor function or anything like that. Like I said... odd.

Mystery Cat replied on February 08, 2008 18:02 to the problem "censorship" in PBwiki:

...and it seems to have stopped doing it now. But all of the hashed-out words are still there and I'll have to go through manually and replace them.

That was... odd.

censorship

Why has my pbwiki started self-censoring? I mean, I can understand why it'd be necessary for a school wiki or similar use, but mine's a roleplaying game. Profanity happens from time to time, and we're all adults.

Worse thing is that it doesn't seem to be terribly discerning, either. It's censored some expletives but not others, and hashed out a whole bunch o' nothing in the middle of a housefire...
