09/16/09 - release

This release included a variety of features, including an improved sign in process, more options for video search, better ways to find related content and a new reporting feature to help keep your site safe from vandalism.

Sign in with other providers: Now you can create a new Wetpaint account using your login info from Facebook, Twitter or Windows Live ID, and then use that third-party login info to join and sign in to Wetpaint sites. We also streamlined the sign in/sign up process to make it easier to use. See: Sign in with other providers

MSN Video search: Now you can search and add MSN videos in addition to YouTube. See: Add Video to Video Gallery

Related Content module: We've added a new content module to the lineup! It can be found in the Content Module gallery in the EasyEdit toolbar, can be placed on any wiki page, and will read the tags on that page to display content from around the site that is related to the page.

Reported threads: Users can now report a thread that has questionable content. Site moderators will receive a message to review the content and can delete it if appropriate. See: Report a Thread

Please be sure to give us feedback on this release.

Any feedback would be appreciated for this release.

I for one have noted that when you deleted a thread, it now vanishes from the Updates reports.

Do you find this valuable?

From the desk of Spanier: I would like to see these updates in the future. No rush, but please consider them.
1. Profile threads being shown under contributions
2. Being able to have seperate photo galleries.
3. More add on sites, such as Photobucket and Imeem.

Thanks for listening!

For Future Releases

1. Fix table code so IE and FF renders the same. Click on a table cell that contains cell coloration and it clears in FF. Justifying tables on a page is another problem in FF. Copy and pasting text into another text editor to remove attached attributes could be fixed so that it doesn't have to be done. Make the wysiwyg editor rendor properly in both browsers - pages display fine in the wysiwyg, but can be anybody's guess on how the page will show up in FF and IE.

2. Anchor linking.

3. Allow Creators and Administrators to create member accounts on their wikis within the wiki. This will solve the invite to private site problem. Admin will communicate via external email with new users. Users will select user name and Admins can setup an account with that user name using a dummy email address and password. User then sent, user name and password in normal email. They can login and change the email and password. No need to un-privatize the site.

4. Simple background syntax. background -image: url and with no repeat, no percentages (fixed size), attachments fixed, along with background color statement so no conflicts with CSS. It is better than nothing .

5. Delete site. Creator permission only. Delete site button in Settings. Click button -redirects site url to a splash page url "Oops, this site was deleted by site creator" and let the normal Wetpaint death process take place with the site. Use a meta refresh tag. Works everytime. Will W3C frown, sure they will, but think of yourself as Microsoft, (<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="8;URL=http:// www.wetpaint.com/sitedelete.html"> )

6. Allow Script in Widgets only.

7. Profile backup capability.

8. And if you have some spare time, move the "Share This" or change it from a mouse-over function. It gets in my way and makes me do an extra mouse movement.

Here are a few things I beleive we'd all agree would make a great update:
1. A widget displaying everyone that is currently on your wiki.
2. An option to disable threads on a wiki. I know it sounds crazy, but some people might like a site inwhich users may only veiw-not post.
3. A capability of adding background music to a page without having a playlist icon thingy showing.
4. Links to a certain spot on a page. (I forget what these are called)

Thank you for listening and caring! Please consider my ideas!
