Jonessie Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 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: ipbtestDatabase 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawkBob Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Why do they need to be the same :blink: ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuCruTrooper2 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 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.

Elemental Crisis Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The database name and database username do not have to be the same, its easier to remember but not mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
