Hmm... we do full testing and many of our staff, including myself, use it with Chrome regularly (and also Safari). I think this may be a bug only appearing in the Dev version of chrome which we aren't targetting.

We are trying to differentiate ourselves with the table of contents on the right. It's hard to tell when you start (because there aren't many pages) but the tree-like Table of Contents (with drag and drop) is great for larger sites.

Our staff site, for example, has over 100 pages but is nicely organized. The software can support 1000 page sites. Probably more but we haven't tested performance over 1000.

Do you plan to support search ? for a information filled wiki, search is vital.

Any possibility for private pages/orbs ? especially for a couple to share information.

Under settings, there is a Site Privacy page where you can set the entire Orb to private.

Yes, search is big on our list. Should be available soon.

Thank you! I have played with it and it's really awesome...I have been planning to use weebly for a couple wiki but it's so hard to use for fast changes. Orbs fits the bill perfectly.

Some things I would love to see: 1. colors in text 2. security (can I store a bank account number or passowrd in a private orb) 3. renaming the home paeg 4. image linking to a web url instead of just allowed to upload 5. embedding stuff (photo slideshows, youtube videos etc..)

We were a little afraid of letting people choose arbitrary colors for text. One of our goals was to make it difficult to make a page ugly and easy to make it look good. We were considering that you could choose a highlight color though. The color would be part of your custom site design. Would this suit your purpose.

Currently, you can access the site through https: but that is not the default and it is not enforced. We might consider making an option to force the site to https:

Renaming the home page. Something I'm thinking about. Actually was thinking of removing the "home" part of the tree and just making the first real page the home page by default.

Image linking. I'll put that in a recommendation.

Embedding Stuff. This is in our plans already. We have a really cool implementation idea for this. :)

Thanks ! https also helps a lot. Looking forward to using it!

Just to let you know, I experienced the same thing with editing as GP described using Firefox 4.0b5 on OS X 10.6.

Thanks. After asking around, it looks like we have done Safari testing on OSX but we haven't fully tested Firefox on OSX. We assumed if Firefox worked in Win/Linux that it would work in OSX but that seems like a wrong assumption. Our testers will go through and test Firefox on OSX now though

Again thanks.
