 | | Wetpaint Update for August 2007
Hello Wetpainters! We are very excited about our new features this month because they make it easier for you to become a member of more than one Wetpaint wiki. Reach your favorite sites with one click and manage your profiles and memberships in one place! What does all this look like? Read on....

Makin' Wiki Contest
New Wiki Alert!
| | | | | Fresh Wetpaint Features | | New navigation header on all Wetpaint sites | | | The header at the top of every site has been redesigned to anable easier access to other sites accross the Wetpaint network. Once signed in you can access your sites from the "My Wetpaint" dropdown on the right of the header. You will also remain signed in now as you move from site to site. Don’t worry, you won’t become a member of every site you visit automatically. Joining a site is now a separate step – that’s for you to decide.
Your wiki profile page is still accessible from every page on the site from the new profile toolbox. Your profile toolbox will keep you up to date with notifications when you sign in. Look for new features here soon! | | | | | |
A new way to manage your profile | | |  | | We have also enhanced the profile pages with new features and a cleaner design. Improvements include:
The ability to cancel your membership with a site. Cancelling your membership will shut down all email subscriptions and close nearly all elements of your profile page. Not to worry, you can always join again later if you change your mind! Fewer ads! We removed two advertising placements from all profile-related pages to reduce clutter and improve the experience. It’s your profile after all. Better controls to manage email subscriptions and notifications. A new tab layout to access key features like messages and contributions. | | | | | |
New member email notification | | |  | | Now moderators and up will receive a daily email listing new members of their sites. Be sure to click through and send new members a welcome message to let them know how they can help out on our wiki.
Not a moderator, but want to receive this message? You can opt-in from your profile page. Simply click the "email notifications" link and check the box for "new wiki member joins." | | | | | |
Searching comments and replies | | |  | | Can’t find that important comment thread? Use the keyword search feature! Search results now include comments and replies in addition to pages. | | | | | |  | | | | Wiki of the Month |  | |  | | Big Brother 8

| | | | | | | In an effort to improve the performance of your wiki sites, we need to conduct routine maintenance on our servers. Obviously we want to minimize the interruption, but we will need to bring sites down briefly during this time. To decrease the impact, we’re scheduling the maintenance time for up to two hours per week (likely less) between 12:00 AM PST and 2:00 AM PST on Sunday nights/Monday mornings.
