what i dont understand is that setting:

Can Login
No Wiki account will be created, so the user cannot edit or create pages ....

So IF "Can Login" IS == YES i am not able to create any page ?!?!?! how can i then even create something

The group settings where a but unclear, next RC will change that:
Can View Wiki

Compleatly hide the wiki from the user, but this should only be used for setting up the wiki. If unregisterd users are not able to see the wiki so your wiki will not be visible to search bots also!

Can Edit Wiki

This option should be clear; if set to no, the user will not get login to the wiki and do wiki user is created, but he still can read the wiki.

Back to your problem, I think it has nothing to do with wrong settings...
Did you have an old vbMediaWiki version installed before this one?
I need to take a look, could you send me an link via PM?

Is it only on your account?

LOL, no longer on window mobile, I'm on android.. but i do use the android kitchen from dsixda..

not to get side tracked, but it appears to be an admin group issue, because if you're a regular member and can see that edit button and i dont see that...I'll tinker around with it.

I've tried it on my forum and on others with admin accounts... so no idea why it is not working for you. I need to try it on your forum, can u make me admin temporary? ...I send you my account details via PM.

init counters needs to escape the username.

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.6:

Invalid SQL:

			UPDATE user SET
				wikiedits = '0',
				wikicreations = '0'
			WHERE username = 'Padraig O'Connor';

MySQL Error   : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Connor'' at line 4

same problem here, I'm admin but I can't see the edit button and if I use direct link to edit I get this error:

wiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

* The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Users.
* This page provides interface text for the software, and is locked to prevent abuse.

You can view and copy the source of this page:

edit: If I create a new user and give admin permission to it I can see all buttons ( edit, action, etc )....

All works with Google Chrome and primary admin can edit wik etci... the problem is still here with Firefox 3.6.8 ( haven't tried with previous version )

I do have the Edit button, but where can is et up a new page ?

Thank you very much!
