Hi James - I used the contact information on the WikiSpaces site and really - I checked back in several times after not getting a response. I tried both email and phone support and while I got a courtesy email several times stating that my inquiry had been received, never heard back with a resolution.<br />

Maybe you could ask someone in support to email or post here with an answer to my issue? What I'm trying to do is set up my users so that instead of logging in with the username assigned when I set them up, that they can log on with their email address. I just find using their email makes it very simple to remember their log in and I get a lot more participation.<br />

Hi Patricia. James from Wikispaces here. From what you describe I'm honestly wondering if you reached our company or someone else by accident. We do sometimes ask that callers email us additional details at help@wikispaces.com, but we pride ourselves on answering those emails quickly and personally. If we can ever help in the future please let us know.

I am going to defend them as well. They were very helpful being that I was a new person on the block. I had email and phone support!

There are differences in the permissions in both Teacher account versions. Both have missing permissioms thattheir paid versions do have. PB Works is more ecpensive!

I have to defend Wikispces on their support - every time I have sent them a message and that is several times now ( I have not tried phoning) I have received a very prompt, helpful and courteous reply.<br />
<br />
I like Wikispaces because I can have add free, private protected wikis, easy for students to learn. No age issues - teachers can use the user-creator to create student accounts - a very simple process.<br />
<br />
Page templates - yes. Easy embeds - yes.<br />
<br />
Cost zero.

Hi - just want to chime in on the customer support at Wikispaces - I have been extremely disappointed by it. I had a question about setting up my wiki space so that members could log in using their email addresses rather than the username you assign them at set up. I know it is possible to do this - because I can log in with my email address - but could not figure out how to do for new members.<br />

I called Wikispaces at least 4 times - and each time the person on the phone could not help me, but promised "someone would be in touch" within a short time - they would not even commit to a time frame. A month has passed and I never heard from anyone. Gave up and went with PB Wiki instead. Hi Johnathan,

Hi Johnathan,<br />
<br />
See the first question on the FAQ here for how to convert existing wikis to the free education plan if you haven't already: <a href="http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers" target="_blank">http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers</a><br />
<br />
Once you're on that plan you can use the bulk user creator (Manage Wiki -> User Creator) to add members from a spreadsheet. The User Creator also lets you add members without email addresses.
