So this still hasn't been decided on yet. I did not make it to the presentations is there a way to view them now?

Newbie replied on May 28, 2008 15:28 to the question "Is it possible to print page to pdf to use it as a offline copy?" in PBwiki:

There is a button down at the bottom of your page to the left that will allow you to save your page as a PDF but I haven't had much luck with it personally.

are you working with a 1.0 wiki or a 2.0 wiki?

My thought is I hope they fix it. I have noticed this problem ever since I started using it last year. Does anyone think this will get fixed it is pretty annoying

PBwiki doesn't currently have any photo editing tools. What types of edits are you looking to do?

Newbie replied on April 29, 2008 16:42 to the question "Test Taking on the Wiki" in PBwiki:

you may be able to use a third party "test maker" and then use pbwiki to diplay it using an Iframe. I personally don't know of any test makers but if you find one and want to slap it into your wiki just let us know and i am sure we can help with that.

Newbie replied on April 29, 2008 16:39 to the question "Wide-open writer permissions: can I do that? How?" in PBwiki:

ya know if there is a work around that is better than the "dummy" account idea I really would like to know. If you all come up with better work around please let us know. It might even bring more people to pbwiki if you openly share stuff like that.

Newbie replied on April 22, 2008 14:16 to the idea "Embed a dictionary" in PBwiki:

you could use an iframe but its gonna look kinda messy...

Newbie replied on April 15, 2008 19:29 to the question "wiki 2.0 to wiki 1.0" in PBwiki:

okay I'm gonna pitch my two cents in here hope it isn't to ill received. Although Guy is technically

"not a representative of PBwiki"

The reason that there are help forums like this one is so that users can help users. If you all would like to take over answering all the questions yourselves go ahead, but I don't think our credit is that far in the red yet. Is it?

Even after an official said Guy was wrong another one had to come back and say hey that isn't true he was right at the moment.

I mean ouch If I post an answer that is correct and I am meet with that kind of response I'm gonna be pretty apprehensive to post anything again. Lets just all play nice.

Newbie replied on April 15, 2008 12:43 to the problem "users that can't post comments although they have permission of writers to do so." in PBwiki:

You said:
"It seems he hasn't received invitation however his mail is in the list of users."

I think that the invitation e-mail has a link in it. The person you are trying to add will need to follow that link in order to obtain their editing rights. The add user interface is correct for you because you have done all you can. They need to get that e-mail. If they aren't getting that e-mail then just like Guy said file a trouble ticket.

A comment on the problem "Using wiki as a word document????" in PBwiki:

Why is this not surprising? Now whomever reads this don't get me wrong. I love PBwiki, as a user, I just don't understand why you would keep features around that don't seem to work. Oh well C'est la vie. – Newbie, on April 14, 2008 19:09

Newbie replied on April 14, 2008 19:06 to the question "Can I edit using standard Wiki formatting rather than the GUI buttons?" in PBwiki:

yeah its great web space if you use it right. Its to customizable to throw it away.

Newbie replied on April 14, 2008 18:59 to the question "Can I edit using standard Wiki formatting rather than the GUI buttons?" in PBwiki:

wow! I never thought of the physical disability part for not being able to use a mouse. That Sucks!

-Guy, I didn't think they were going to keep 1.0s available?

Newbie replied on April 14, 2008 18:54 to the problem "Using wiki as a word document????" in PBwiki:

not word but PDF.

I guess you could call this a subject in a subject but here we go. I have come across a need to get my companies pages into a word document as well. Now I know there is no direct "export to word" (although I think this would be a good enhancement, ...anyways) however there is a "save page as PDF" at least in 1.0. Now I clicked this little button for the first time today and boy was I suprised.

Now before I get to deep in this let me just state that my companies wiki is highly modified using css and custom templates and javascript for sidebar navigation and unfortanatly I can't give you all insight because its private and well that would just get me in a heap of trouble. But here we go.

When the page opens in the PDF view on my web-browser everything was mangled, tangled, and overlapping. There were actually boxes with text in them (visible boxes) and then text was spilling out of them. Text was all over the place. Now I will openly admit to not having a lot of exposure to PDFs or converting html to the pdf format but I am sure that things shouldn't have ended up like that. So Guy, Krissy any suggestions?

Newbie replied on April 14, 2008 17:30 to the question "how do I add a calendar to my free wiki" in PBwiki:

for anyone having calender issues are you using pbwiki 1.0 or 2.0?

Newbie replied on April 11, 2008 19:04 to the question "How do I export a Wiki page to Word?" in PBwiki:

are you using 1.0 or 2.0?

Newbie replied on April 11, 2008 17:42 to the question "Looking to embed private videos in 2.0" in PBwiki:

that link shouldn't really work it doesn't exist but the tags should work on your page with the correct address added for your video

Newbie replied on April 11, 2008 17:39 to the question "Looking to embed private videos in 2.0" in PBwiki:

Try this and let me know. edit the page where you need the video. Insert an html plug-in and then add this code

Newbie replied on April 11, 2008 17:05 to the question "Looking to embed private videos in 2.0" in PBwiki:
