Hello.  I'm researching  information on the 1967 issue of the $1.00 bank notes. I understand there is the required information on the WIKI site. I have logged in and no matter what i do, It states permission denied.  What am I doing incorrect?

I think you need to have the log in authority (means you had created an account before you can log in).  CPMF log in is not the same as wiki site.

(ps Brent, please correct me if I am wrong)

Has anyone tried viewing the Wiki site without logging in?

Logins are only required to edit a page on the Wiki site.

PS: Tom, did you not get my reply to your email about this issue that I sent you on Dec 26?

Hi. Brent. Yes....I received your reply but to no avail. It is becoming extremely frustrating to say the least. I have try several ways to access the WIKI site, no success.  TOMMYBOY

The Wiki site does not require you to log in (unless you want to edit a page, and you don't have rights to do that). I'm not understanding what the issue is here... Please send me a screenshot of what you see when you click on the following link:
http://wiki.cdnpapermoney.com/index.php/Main_Page

I can't help if you don't tell me what's going on. Simply saying "it doesn't work" is not helpful. Error messages, screenshots, etc, including specific steps as to what you clicked on to get to where you are, IS helpful.

Again regarding logins for the Wiki site: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOG IN - YOU DON'T NEED TO (and your CPMF or CPMS login/password will not work anyway).

Ah yes, OK, now I see what you're doing. That page does not exist, but there is a link to it.

All links that appear in red are links to pages that have not yet been written. When you click on such a link, the behaviour of the Wiki site is to present an edit page, but since you do not have permissions to edit Wiki pages, you are getting that error.

I am always open to volunteers who are interested in making contributions to the Wiki site. If anyone is interested, please contact me by PM or email.
