New email notifications for your PBwiki 2.0
- Author: Mark Christian

Apr 15,2008
When PBwiki 2.0 launched, it included lots of great new features, but one thing stayed exactly the same: the notification emails you got when somebody changed a page on your wiki.
We fixed that today — here is a sneak preview of the new version of notifications.
The new notifications…
- Let you see all changes made to your wiki
- Have shorter change logs, and are easier to read
- Respect your notification settings
- Won’t be marked as spam!
To get a sneak preview of these new notifications, go to your wiki settings and check the box that says “Sneak preview new version of notifications”
Keep in mind that they’re not quite done yet, so if you have any problems, just turn off the sneak preview (and be sure to send us feedback). Enjoy!

Dear people, I couldn´t be happier as how both my wikis are working only that some teachers complain that the frequency of additions/changes is so high that their box gets crowded with notifications! could you please add the choice of getting them once a week or even every fortnight? otherwise, some threaten to switch them off completely ._( Virginia
That’s great, but my wiki hasn’t upgraded to 2.0 since I asked for it. D:
I have the same problem, no way to upgrade…
Students in my class are getting notifications for all the updates that occur in the wiki. I should be the only one that gets these notifications.
@ Virginia – right now, the least frequently we can send notifications is once per day, but we have many more improvements planned. Keep an eye out!
@ Aegis – we’re still working out hte last few bugs for migrating wikis from 1.0 to 2.0, but we should have that soon. Thanks for your enthusiasm!
i want to join the group
Why do you torment us with these updates on features for PBWiki 2.0 when many of us are still stuck on 1.0 and yet to be invited to migrate? When will the migration happen? I like the new stuff.
Going from 1.0 to 2.0 has created more than one difficulty… I am VERY sorry to have lost the Invite key function. As the admin of various educational wikis, I no longer have the ability to take groups of students to the site to work collaboratively. 2.0 requires that I have knowledge of all their personal email addresses in order to give them rights. This is very labour intensive and I don’t want to know that info.
When will this be resolved?
On the wiki teachwithtechumass (currently private), if I change to preview the new notifications, we receive no notifications at all.
Thanks.

would love to be able to “Notify Others of Changes” regardless of their notification preferences. Most of our users have turned off notifications, but occasionally, there are cases where it would be beneficial to notify them of a page when the creator/editor feels it’s relevant.

[...] our improved notifications emails, which have new functionality and a brand-new visual design. We previewed these earlier, and today we’re launching these to all PBwiki 2.0 wikis. (Still on PBwiki 1.0? Click here to [...]
