I agree that it's tough, I don't agree with ur reasoning that it's confusing.
If you explain it well, I don't see a problem. The thing is you guys aren't very successful in explaining things ...
And that's all apart from privacy issues I have with PBwiki Accounts.

vangispen replied on March 03, 2008 20:42 to the question "Managing Users" in PBwiki:

For the record: I don't consider forcing visitors to get a PBwiki Account before they can see my wiki an improvement.
Right now I can just send them the Invite Key and the URL of my wiki. Done. Easy as ... Especially since my visitors are not very puter-savvy.

Don't know 'bout ur problems completing 3 tasks but here's a solution:
Type this URL in ur web browser's address bar, replace ABC with the title of ur wiki, press enter:

http://ABC.pbwiki.com/?e1_done=1

Now ur personal content of QuickStart page will show without completing 3 tasks...

Or just delete the QuickStart page, haha!

vangispen replied on February 19, 2008 10:49 to the problem "Images are not visible in Firefox or Opera" in PBwiki:

Hi, maybe this will help ...
Whenever I want to align text to images I use this code:

align text to right of image

<img src="" width="" height="" alt="" align="left" style="margin-right:12px;">
text to be aligned to the right of image,
with margin of 12 px between image and text
<br clear="left">
rest of content, no more to the right of image

align text to the left of image

<img src="" width="" height="" alt="" align="right" style="margin-left:12px;">
text to be aligned to the left of image,
with margin of 12 px between image and text
<br clear="right">
rest of content, no more to the left of image

If you are using the Point-and-Click editor you will have to write this code manually, in source mode or with HTML plugin.

vangispen replied on February 18, 2008 16:03 to the question "Editing h1, h2, h3" in PBwiki:

First, I want to clarify that Forum Test Wiki is not mine, it's a wiki everyone can use to illustrate forum discussions.

A common-v07.. stylesheet appears indeed after a wiki.css but contains no declarations for h1, h2.
Yours is named common_both-v07.. , has a secure URL and h1 declaration, there's a difference but why?
Skin, wiki package (upgrade level), wiki security level? I don't know.

Since you have the custom wiki.css option I think you're entitled to get professional help from PBwiki: support@pbwiki.com. Let us know!

vangispen replied on February 18, 2008 12:04 to the question "Editing h1, h2, h3" in PBwiki:

That stylesheet does not appear in my wiki.
I can import it and see it takes precedence, yes.

However, I can overrule the precedence by declaring

#displaycontent h1 { font-size: 1.3em !important; }

See sample page.

vangispen replied on February 18, 2008 10:48 to the question "Editing h1, h2, h3" in PBwiki:

#displaycontent h1 { font-size: 1em; } works for me?

I think it's the font-weight attribute (which is normal for h1 and bold for h2, h3) that makes you believe it's not working when trying to change font-size attributes ...

for h2, h3 etc. try using

#displaycontent h2, #displaycontent h3 { font-weight: normal; }

vangispen replied on February 15, 2008 08:05 to the question "What is a Magic URL and how can I create one?" in PBwiki:

I feel a little comfort after reading your reply! me <3 Vu

One more thing: this "lady" made herselves a PBwiki Account.
She confessed that she added my private wiki to her list of wikis that she can access.

HOW CAN I BE SURE SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO READ MY WIKI?

I followed your advice and vented a lot of "post-Valentine's day hatred".
Cause this thing is over, you know ...

Where can I find miss Universe you talking bout?
I've got lots to share.

vangispen replied on February 14, 2008 03:15 to the question "How do I hide my sidebar temporarily when it overlaps the page?" in PBwiki:

For some wiki's you should use a variant of the code to hide the sidebar:

<style>#SideBar { display: none; } </style>

vangispen replied on February 14, 2008 02:53 to the question "What is a Magic URL and how can I create one?" in PBwiki:

WHAT IF ...
- I am wiki owner with my stuff (u know, private stuff ...)
- shared it with someone I truely like (hug, hug, kisses and more ...)
- gave her magic URL (not invite key, u know, the real thing, ... )

AND THEN
- we break up !!!
- scheiße !!!
- I change my wiki invite key (what else to do ... ?)

IS SHE STILL GONNA GET INTO MY WIKI?
with the magic URL I gave her? Hu?
The biatch !!

Oeps, uh, can I ask for a brief explanation regarding " upgraded to Silver (smallest package), have CSS enabled in your wiki for a one-time fee that lasts for the life of your wiki "?
How much is the one-time fee?

vangispen replied on February 11, 2008 03:18 to the question "How do I get a certain tab on the sidebar to be the default?" in PBwiki:

-> Get Satisfaction's search is (apparently) limited to the first 5 results, so you can't find it without browsing all ...

We all have to get used to the new interface, it's been decided ...
However, Getsatisfaction offers an extended search facility @ the upper right corner of the screen!



And results are there, not very readable at the moment ( hey peeps, following this topic? add a linebreak or so & skip non-clickable non-working url).
