The User Guide has been around for a while now, slowly building up to a moderately useful resource for FUMBBL coaches. However, it needs plenty more work to bring it up to standard, which is why I requested the creation of this forum.
Top of the list of things to do is to complete the content of all sections, properly link every page to a related one, remove duplicated information and integrate it properly with the Help/FAQ section.
Hopefully, this forum will help recruit new interested helpers (hmm, we need a nickname for User Guide scribes - I can't think of any monkeys that can write), identify areas needing work, and coordinate efforts effectively.
If you have any ideas, please post them in this forum.
I'll open a new IRC channel too: join me at #fumbbluserguide |

Wiki Lemurs. It's gotta be Wiki Lemurs. Lemurs can do anything, right?
Or we could just take the "Anyone can use it approach" and just refer to ourselves as a trained chimps. "It's so easy that a..."
Seriously, though, I think the main thing to be done in regards to overall format is to make the whole structure a little easier to access. I'd love to see the front page as a list and then have all the possible information 2 clicks away from that at most - with all the information needed to get started or get help just one click away from the front page. |

Definite agreement here. Most importantly, a preface on the forum page itself with a brief overview on how to set up a game as a net client. That will help people like ME get playing as soon as possible. I personally, love this game so much, I just wanted to play when I found this site. Lord Sigmund had to walk me through it (thanks, I hope I wasn't too boneheaded). So, an opening splash page with brief general instructions, and links to the other info.

Just a quick notice.
Due to a problem with BackLinks, I've started adding links to parent pages at the bottom of any page I come across. There's too many for me to do, so if you do edit a page, please add something like this to the bottom of the page:
| Code: | | Back to [Description of Parent Page|ParentLink] |

It would be nice if there was a great BIG link to the user guide with a "quick start" guide in the middle of your Coach page if you DON´T have any teams.
So the big link dissappears when you create teams. But is easy to find for new players.
Maybe a picture showing where the link (in the original layout of the site) is after you have created a team in the beginning of the "quick start guide" would also be good. |

I've added a blurb to quickly inform newcomers to the User Guide what it is all about. It only took me a few years to add such an obvious piece of info...
Just click on the Help icon or link (depends on your FUMBBL theme). |

Im having some trouble getting this working. I downloaded 8.8b and the 8.9 patch but when I attempt to open up the testing BB and it says flash image is corrupt or something. Am I missing something or am I just dumb? |

It is still possible to download a zip of a straight 8.9 install if you can find it. I won't post a link here because I'm not sure Christer would be happy with that but it is out there. |
