Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
With so many Wetpaint site users having multiple sites we’ve made it easier to reach your favorite sites, join new ones, and manage your profiles and memberships. What does all that look like? Read on below…!
The first sign in link is at the top on the grey Network Bar, and the second is below the "Join This Wiki" button.
Clicking on the "Join This Wiki" button will take you to a registration page where you can create a Wetpaint username account.
If you already have a username and password you will want to sign in before clicking on the "Join This Wiki" button.
Once you have joined a wiki it will look something like this:
The Network Bar at the top shows your username, an option to sign out, and a section called "My Wetpaint" to the right. More on that in a moment.
The box showing your username and "My Messages" links to your profile page where you can view and manage your profile, messages, contributions, watchlist, and invitations. If you are the site creator or administrator there will also be a link to "Admin Wiki Tools" below the "My Messages" link.
The My Wetpaint Wikis dropdown shows up to 5 wikis and there is a link to view "all my wikis" if you are a member of more.
There's a link to Create Your Own Wiki if you want to create a new Wetpaint site.
A Search All Wikis box at the bottom of the menu lets you easily search the entire Wetpaint Network to find existing sites you are interested in.
Enhancements include:

Profile Management
We have redesigned the profile pages to add new features and clean things up.Enhancements 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 some clutter and improve the experience. It’s your profile after all.
- Improved controls to manage email subscriptions and notifications. A new tab layout to access key features like messages and contributions.
