Invites and Private Sites - not working
"Just ran into this issue today and also wasted over an hour trying to get a user signed in. . . .
Well, from our end of things we're now starting to discuss moving to a different hosting site, despite how much we like WetPaint." bonarioj - I would appreciate an email from you with alternative hosting sites. This is a huge problem for us too.
I have created several private sites and my two most active private sites (which are starting to get momentum) are, as of today, expressing that we need to move sites. None of my administrators want to open up the site to public, waiting for someone to log in, while the site has material on it sensitive to the group. We are all professionals, and no one is sitting around monitoring whether the list of invitees is complete. The posted work-around is fine for a few people and few invites. Opening up sensitive material to the Public is a much more significant issue.
It took months for me to get the third group to trust that the Private functionality was truly private. Any public exposure will lose this group immediately, and I feel obligated to inform them of such.
Also bothersome was that I just recently wasted a lot of time trying to explain the process, not having a clue that the process changed somewhat severely.
Jeremy, I don't get the comment that advertisers are concerned. I get advertising on all of my private sites when I use IE. I also think that if you lose me as a champion who promotes Wetpaint because of the private issues posted here, you will lose my word of mouth on Wetpaint Public. If this holds true with other creators that champion Wetpaint, you may be underestimating your losses; which I would think will alienate advertisers.
I don't really understand all the issues you have, but this is significant, and I respectfully ask you to re-consider the change.

my name
I talked to the creator of that wiki. They tell me that you do not meet the inclusion standards for that wiki. This is the reason your name keeps being removed.

Flickr Badge Widget anyone?
There are multiple sources for Flickr Badge type widgets. Google has them. Yahoo has them. Individual widget creators have them, as well as the flickr site's own badges too. They have one that's html based and one that's a flash badge too. I realize the html based badge doesn't meet the criteria for the widgets here at wetpaint. But I thought I'd be able to add the flash based one. When looking at the code it appears to be in <iframe> tags.... although it's surounded by script tags. I played with it a while, and just had no luck. Was hoping to find a source with a flickr badge widget that would work in the wetpaint invironment. Here's a link to a page with several choices on it. None of which I've been successful with here at wetpaint. http://flickrtools.blinklist.com/tag/flickr%20widgets/
I've created and installed these badges on various blogs and websites elsewhere though. I really like them. Was hoping to have a savvier person than me figure this one out. Would appreciate anything you could offer in this direction!
Thanx a Million!

Feedback appreciated
I believe that this notion of censoring without prior acknowledgement to wetpaint admins/creators and moderators is absolutely outrageous. I am part of the Luke and Noah Fans Wiki and we have a lot of members who write fan fiction there. By censoring their work is taking away their freedom of speech, their creative outlet as artists. I do not understand how swear words are censored when the advertisements that run on wetpaint sites are equally (if not more) offensive. I think it's unacceptable to censor our writers work without their knowing about it. They work hard on what they do and it is disrespectful to them. Some of them would having willingly changed their work if they had been given prior knowledge. Also, we clearly mark our fiction on our site with ratings and warnings that indicate what the story will hold. I don't think it is fair to censor consenting adults and leave advertisements talking about meeting nude women and other inapropriate things. It might be a good idea to have certain areas of a wetpaint site as "members" only area, such as our sites fan fiction. It wasn't fair to our authors to go on their fiction and see **** and wonder what is going on. I hope that wetpaint will find a happy medium and rectify the situation.
