Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Pereira Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Please IPB update your documentation. Right now, I feel a lot of it is poorly written and hard to fully understand. I also dislike how hard it is to navigate from article to article. An example of something I would like to see would be something similar to what Xenforo has done: Installation page: http://xenforo.com/help/installation/ I like the way they layout and word their tutorials. Simple English with each section separated into different steps. In contrast with IPB, IPB in my opinion is very cluttered and hard to understand. Any thoughts?

I find the Ipb's documentation section very detailed and easy to navigate and find the things you need. At least that was the case with me. I found everything I needed to know there with ease in a short time.
Management Charles Posted April 6, 2011 Management Posted April 6, 2011 It's being updated for 3.2's release :)
ZakRhyno Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 It's being updated for 3.2's release :) As an update, do you plan to have images and/or videos then just plan text? I mean the text is nice and all but well pictures do help to understand issues more. :) Personally I disagree with you. I find the Ipb's documentation section very detailed and easy to navigate and find the things you need. At least that was the case with me. I found everything I needed to know there with ease in a short time. It could be flush out a little more.
Management Charles Posted April 6, 2011 Management Posted April 6, 2011 We will have pics/videos where they make sense.
NenaDice Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 It could be flush out a little more. Well, the Op was saying and I quote:poorly written and hard to fully understand. Which in my opinion is not true at all and that was a totally different thing than saying for ex, the Documentation area needs some improvements :)

Pereira Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 It's being updated for 3.2's release :) Thank you. :) Personally I disagree with you.

I found everything I needed to know there with ease in a short time. Sorry I should reword that. I just feel it should a bit easier and clearer to understand. Just look at Xenforo's version of the installation documentation and then look at IPB's current version. Its much easier to understand and lays it out step-by-step. Doesn't matter now anyways, it being updated. :)
