If someone posted a rude or irrelevant thread in your discussion forum, you can complete remove all traces of it by doing this:
Don't use the moderator tool to delete the whole thread. Delete it one reply at a time until it is the original post, then use the moderator tools and it will vanish completely from the site updates page. Note: This doesn't work with profile threads. |

This is a cool trick I discovered a while ago.
If you have many avatars and you don't know which to use, then you can use this Avatar Rotator. It will automatically help you change your avatar from time to time. All you have to do is go to this site: http://sig.grumpybumpers.com/index.cgi Choose the avatars you want and copy the rotating avatar's link to be your Wetpaint avatar. If you need help adding an avatar on Wetpaint, see http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Adding+a+Profile+Image

As there is no page history for profile pages, so you can't revert them
Whenever an error occurs (your profile is messed up, friends list at the bottom f.e.) And there is no way of recovering except to start over from scratch and rebuild your profile. So it is best to have a backup of the most recent profile. HOW TO BACKUP YOUR PROFILE PAGE Go into EasyEdit...select the whole profile page below your avatar ( CTRL+A ) and copy it ( CTRL + C ) Now CANCEL out of EasyEdit on your profile page. Create a new page on your wiki and name it "your login name" profile backup. Easy Edit the page and Paste (CTRL +V) and save. Move the page to Un-Categorized so it doesn't interfere with the normal site pages. TO RESTORE YOUR PROFILE PAGE On the profile page ... go into EasyEdit... > select the whole page > delete everything > Save > Refresh the page.. It will look like an unedited... empty profile page... but normal again... Go to Un-Catergorized Pages. This is done by going to Updates - Pages - Un-Catergorized. You will see a list of the backed up profile pages. Select your profile page by clicking on the title. This will open your backup page. EasyEdit the page, ( CTRL - A ) to select all, then ( CTRL - C ) to copy.Cancel out of your EasyEdit mode on your backup page. Then go to your empty profile page, Easy Edit your profile and do a paste ( CTRL - V ) and save. You have now a good profile. * Note: The same can be done for Site Templates (as for Templates there is no page history either) This tip originally supplied by Jirvana a community member of Wetpaint Central.

There is not an option to directly backup threads. But there is a way if your permission level is moderator or above.
1. Go to the thread you want to save. 2. With the More Tools select "Add As Page" 3. Supply a page name that is appropriate to the thread and Save. 4. Repeat these steps for each thread you want to back up. Note: It may be helpful to massage the dates for the thread to help in referencing them. You now have a backup of that thread.

If you are unwilling to wait until the actual list is released, you can check your updated site ranking shortly after midnight Pacific Coast time using your site droplets.
Note: This only applies if your wiki is already in the Wetpaint 500 or if it is almost in it. For example: Wetpaint Central is now #49 |

Por medio de este escrito me doy cuenta de la grandeza, espiritual, intelectual, familiar, patriotica, etc; de unos individuos que buscaban la igualdad, el bienestar general de un país que amaron y que por tanto ofrendaron su vida sin ningun temor, porque sabían que lo que hacían estaba bien.

Okay, here are a few things about ads summed up into one thread.
There has been much complaining about Wetpaint removing the ad-free education program. Why did they remove it? They were running out of money. http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Ad+Free+Education+Sites You can report ads that your students should not be seeing at: info@wetpaint.com The steps are at the bottom of this page. http://wetpaintcentral.com/page/Ads A few staff members of Wetpaint, including the popular Jason_Wetpaint were laid off. Very sad ;( Now, header ads are above the pages in a new spot. It looks more like they weren't just put there. Many are asking, "What do the header ads have to do with the content of my site?" Nothing. They have nothing to do with the conent of your site. Why, you ask? Header ads simply pay a lot, and there are not enough related-to-your-site header ads. Text ads, are normally related to your site. For example, I have a bunch of articles and discussions about the Swine Flu. A lot of ads are about Swine Flu. This is common for header ads to be unlike the content of the site. Look at many sites you go to. YouTube.com, IGN.com, popular online game sites, and even World of Warcraft. ~JJ
