| July 30, 2008 - by user: sacapp Looking to create a wiki in a different language? Though our interface does not come in other languages at this time, many users have demonstrated the ability to create quality multi-lingual wikis.

Please feel free to provide a link to your wiki as a thread on this page if you have also created a wiki in a different language! | ||||||
| July 11, 2008 - by user: jeremy_wetpaint It's generally not a good idea to promote more than one or two members to administrator status on your site. Why? Administrators have the same level of access to site settings as the site creator does. Make sure that you give users administrator status only if they are proven to be very trustworthy and responsible. See the User Permissions page for more information on the different user roles. | ||||||
| July 1, 2008 - by user: jeremy_wetpaint When posting a question in the discussion forum, use a subject line that summarizes what your post is about. Avoid using a vague subject line that just says something like "help!". Be more specific, it will help your post to stand out and you'll make it easier for others to actually assist you. | ||||||

| June 17, 2008 - by user: Jason_wetpaint Today is the official release day of Firefox 3.0, and we're happy to say that we fully support it at Wetpaint.

| June 4, 2008 - by user: jeremy_wetpaint Can I delete my account? Not exactly, but you can Cancel Membership to any site you have created or joined.
