Installation

[Jonessie]

Installation of 2.2.0 is much better and faster, although there is one thing I would like to point out within the installation which might throw our novice users a little. When entering your database name and database username and password it might be a good idea to highlight in RED Database Name: and add at the bottom of the Window something like...? "Database Name and Database Username must be the same" so not to throw confusion. Example below,

Database Name: ipbtest
Database Username: ipbtest.

To be honest it might not cause a problem but complete novice users who have never used IPB before and install for the first time might get a little confused and frustrated. :)

Why do they need to be the same :blink: ?

[ZuCruTrooper2]

But they are not the same. Having a message tell you that the database name and server login name must be the same would throw people off even more, since I might have a database called 'invision_22' and I login using the name 'jhenry'.

What would happen then.

Gets a big :blink: from me too.

The database name and database username do not have to be the same, its easier to remember but not mandatory.

[lrusso]

haha, that be so bad people trying to install like OMG the names aren't the same "halp im new teach me :)"

i'll put it forward that at least 80% of people call their db's forum i know i do :blush:

Putting the database and user name's the same is easier to remember, but it's all personal preference. You can put either one a different name.

most retarded question

I'm suprised you didnt ask them to add if you type the name in wrong or password it says "This database dosen't exsist"

This thread should be deleted, it's not right, and will only confuse people.
