> 1. How do I delete a topic page? Edit the contents of the topic to contain only the word "delete". I can't remember off the top of my head if it's case sensitive, and whether or not you can have trailing whitespace. So best to make it all lowercase and not put extra spaces on the end. > 2.

Yeah, rename is busted right now. If it were entirely up to me, I'd just remove that stupid feature. But instead I'll fix it sometime soon. :) > 3.

Is there a way to override this default condition? That's not the behavior I observe. I'll take a look at it. Can you see if the <a> tag is being rendered with a target attribute? > 4.

Again, I don't see this on my machine, but I certainly believe you. > 5.

There are entries you can put in the flexwiki.config file to make this happen. Specifically, <SendNamespaceCreationMailFrom />. If you set it to an email address, it'll email whoever you put in for the contact. You'll also need to get the System.Net mailsettings section in web.config correct for your SMTP server. The next build will include *vastly* improved comments in the various config files that should make figuring this stuff out easier. > 6.

In that case, the namespace is extra, useless information and it's actually less confusing to omit it. Also, the longer the names get in the border, the more it eats the screen real-estate. This is a real problem, although addressable via wikitalk. But in your case, would it be better if we used namespace-qualified names everywhere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
