Page edit deletes "other widgets" from
Mar 19 2008, 6:19 PM EDT | Post edited: Mar 19 2008, 6:19 PM EDT
I have experienced this problem a few times: I edit certain pages containing functioning "other widgets." When I save my changes, the "other widgets" on that page are deleted by wetpaint ( not by me.) I can revert to the previous page version to restore the "other widgets", but I cannot edit those pages without losing the functioning widgets. The "other widgets" I typically use (and are losing) are Picasaweb embedded slideshow gadgets. This problem seems to occur only on pages that were previously edited by one of my moderators, where he has added a widget and made textual changes. I do not experience this problem on pages where I was the last person to edited the page.

Other relevant data: I'm using Firefox ver 2. I am the creator/admin of this wiki. I don't know what browser my moderator is using.

I spent a few moments in Help & Discussion Forums trying to find an answer, but have given up. If there is a thread, please send me that link. Thanks!

Can you give me the URL of a page that this has happened to? Do you find this valuable?

I moved this discussion to Messages (because I prefer to keep the URL unpublished.) But if you discover a solution that others would benefit from learning about, feel free to post back to this thread in a way that ... keeps my wikis unpublished. Thanks! Do you find this valuable?
