> Q-1: what is up with the forum? There used to be some kind of forum, a long time ago, but it was replaced by this mailinglist. So any links to the forum should be removed, but may not have been.

Well, partly because you seem to be trying to use raw html instead of the wiki markup. BoltWire is nothing if not easy to use for the simple stuff, like editing a page. > I cannot add more than one word to the slogan under the site title. The slogan is taken from code.snippets. Anything after slogan: ... is treated as the slogan, as long as it's on the same line. > When I make changes and click save nothing happens. What did the message box say? Theres a good chance that your webserver- user is no the user who owns the page files. As such, it may not be capable of writing to the page-files, and no changes are saved. > Q-3: Is there a skin for wiki-pedia (this is our goal) No. You might want to try to use media-wiki instead of boltwire, which is what wikipedia uses, although that is much harder to set up. Additionally, there are many more bots on the web who try to destroy mediawiki sites. When my predecessor tried to use mediawiki, it was spammed to non-existence. BoltWire IS easy to use, so something has gone wrong for you somewhere. If you give us some more information, we can try to fix it for you.
