PBwiki frustrations today!

Previously anyone could edit our course wiki (1.0) with an invite key. It worked great all last spring and this past summer. This fall, though, numerous students could not get in even though they followed the directions. I watched one gal log in, spell everything correctly, and when she clicked "log in" it simply returned her to the log-in page. Today I created a new 2.0 pbwiki, had to create student accounts (36 of them) and then email the new username and password to each student. Much time has been wasted today. I then had to transfer over all the pages and current material from the old wiki to the new one. Numerous projects have been put on hold. :(

Hi there,

I'm sorry there was trouble with your wiki. We aim to make logging in as simple as possible while providing you and your students with great security. I'd be happy to personally handle this for you if you'd like to get in touch with me with the name of your wiki and the email addresses of some of the users having trouble logging in.
