    I take it that the Pinwiki problems are still ongoing. I was looking to upload some pictures, but the upload file button still seems to be missing. Tried the "Contact me" form on the site, but no reply.

    Given that this has been going on for over a year and with no end in sight, is it time to give up on this one and move on to some other user-driven website? What other websites are similar in purpose?

    Quoted from zacaj:

    But not editable, so we can't add new info and improve them...

    Editability is the key attribute desired.

    Sadly, I'm writing Pinwiki off as gone. I was in the middle of adding a new section many months ago when it went down and have not been able to continue.

    Hopefully someone can step up and create a user-editable replacement.

    Plus there is no incentive at all to upload new material to the site as it could easily get erased if someone (eventually) reverts the site to a backup/restore. As well, the upload option for pictures is no longer available, but anyways would likely suffer the same fate in a backup/restore scenario.

    Quoted from jfesler:

    I've mirrored the site into a local cache, just in case. It's too important to get lost. But nearly entirely unusable for my browsers (plural). It's so bad I can no longer recommend pinwiki urls as solutions to common problems.

    Thanks very much for doing that. I'm afraid we will need it.
