I had to change wiki software, the other one just didn't have proper user account creation controls so it was already becoming a spamwiki. but I have found one with a proper admin interface and 2013 levels of native security.
OOTP Community Wiki | HomePage user creation passcode is 4 letters (no caps) that should be a no-brainer for any user of this community while a bit more complicated overall, page creation is even more like a forum post, the editor box has buttons for the most common syntax, just like the full editor in the forum post old wiki is gone, new wiki is up. I am going to have to redo all of the 3 whole pages that were done, but at lest we figured out that that software wasn't good enough quickly. this one is much nicer, it has way more features than we need, but just like ootp, you can just turn them off.

the old software was clearly a target for spam bots, so I set-up a re-direct from the old to the new so the bots could find it and see if it could take the fire. the attempted attack was as large as I have seen. the spillover onto the main corporatebaseball.com site listed as high as 186 bots at one time. but neither site showed a scratch. not a single successful user account creation. it was strange the bots couldn't seem to even find the registration page on the new wiki. but at least we know it at least as secure as a decently maintained on-line league site. anyway, thanks for putting it on the top of my head. it saved me a potential headache

the facebook login was wonky and I decided the benefits were not worth the time I would need to spend to get it right. so I ditched it.
the image and file galleries are working properly now... mostly. I still have not gotten them to work from the wiki page editor. you have to upload the file to a gallery then copy the code it gives you to the page. (but it does give you the wiki code, so it is easy) I am going to need some help in solving the page editor issue, it's above my current abilities. but having to upload the file first isn't huge issue I suppose

File gallery now works via drag-n-drop (choose finder view to activate) & so does the unzip feature, but I might disable that for all but well known users at some point, if possible, but it's useful at the moment for those who may want to bulk upload logos or something
logos and the like have never been easier to share... http://ootpwiki.corporatebaseball.co...=7&view=browse

I was getting checkbox eyes, so I took a day off, but I do have an update.

there are 2 of us from my league in what we'll call administrative/leadership roles, we really would like a third from outside the group for input on mission statement and other light administrative type work. (to be honest I wouldn't mind a bit of help with the set-up but I can work through it myself given enough time) after it is set-up the CLB can deal with day-to-day type things easily enough but we would really rather not dictate anything more than general parameters based on available resources, we would like the community to have as much (if not more) input as we do.

File sizes
Jazzrack, I've currently got about 50 stadium pix that exceed the max upload allowed. Suggestions?

and as a general note. I have not been feeling very well (went to the Dr. Monday, still post concussion syndrome) and some plumbing issues have been taking up my time, but the wiki is functional and doesn't need me to operate day-to day. anyway the other day I made a couple videos on how to use the wiki. I wasn't feeling well so I have had better attempts at videos. i'll probably remake them when I get a chance OOTP Community Wiki | Using the wiki file gallery - video OOTP Community Wiki | Creating a wiki page - video and I would also like to point out that the wiki is not in competition with something like OOTPmods, the mods site is for OOTPbaseball and is an index of mod files. the wiki is for for the whole OOTP community, boxing, hockey & now football as well (I just have not offered it up yet while I work out any major kinks) and is centered around information and community sharing. when I am feeling a bit better I may try and get with CH of ootpmods and see if we can help each other. but communication is difficult for me and frustrating for those that must deal with me right now so it is probably not the best time

i'll set up and ftp account for you first chance I get, I am multi-tasking this morning but my afternoon is empty so i'll probably PM you the info then.
I have ...bribed... my college student son (hey, you want your cell phone & car insurance to continue to be paid?) into picking up most of the back-end stuff and getting the rest of the kinks worked out. this will give me the time I have been spending on that to work on content and making it useful to the larger OOTP community. he is a student, and his time comes in chunks, but he is young and smart and I am an old fart, so it should be better this way.

me and the kid have been banging our heads together on the slowness of the wiki, so we are going to try it on a dedicated home server rather than a paid shared server.
I almost have the back-up machine ready (just for your info, I set up a back-up box first get it working the way I want, then get the regular one set-up based off that, then shove the back-up into a cabinet in the off chance I need it) so sometime in the next couple days the wiki will go into maintenance mode while we copy it over and test it on the new server. it's just a MySQL database installation so shouldn't take but half a day at most, but one never knows what can happen with these things we are pretty sure that it will improve the speed of the website & gives us some added flexibility. While I can't give some 99.9% uptime guarantee I bet I can get over 99 & my home network is plenty robust for the likely traffic & if it somehow grows to a point where it is a concern I am sure the community will have a solution. and if something goes wrong or the site performance doesn't improve we just take the current installation off of maintenance mode, nothing is lost but a few hours work

update.
testing is going well, back-up box is finished, we are now working on getting the live box up and running. so sometime tomorrow night would be my guess on when we'll switch over.

finally had some luck with production server, we must have had beginners luck on the back-up. but we have now done it a number of times so we are fairly comfortable.
anyway. site is now down for "maintenance" until the switch is complete. in theory it should only take a couple solid hours, but we don't have a couple solid hours and things can go wrong.... give me a day or so.

hey all, just wanted to let you all know I have not gone away or forgotten. we ran into technical difficulty then I ran into a time-crunch and more important things required my time. we think we know what our issues were so we are giving it another shot this weekend. if not we'll just go back.
