The problem with pointing to this page is that the first link in the
Help menu on the Advanced view also points to this page. And then
answers like "Or you can click "Add Project" at any time." no longer
work, as the Add Project option is hidden under the Tools->Attach to
project or account manager menu.
So wouldn't the Advanced menu need its own help page then?
I know, that can't be done on present BOINC versions as they will all
point to the page above. It may not be neat, but you may have to add a
new page for each BOINC version where changes happen in the GUI.
As else we'll run into the problem I have on the FAQs already where
I'm busy with nested if-then loops... which irritate me enormously as
even i find information hard to find in the end.
If you have BOINC bla then ...
If you have BOINC bla.1 then...
if you have BOINC bla.3 then...
If you have BOINC foo then...
So I've asked Neil if it's possible for me to do a complete rewrite of
the FAQs (on a shadow copy), where I can tamper with how it looks
until I think it's useful again; thinking of putting the categories
per BOINC version, instead of having to write one FAQ and do those
nested if-then loops in them. The normal FAQs stay as they available
as they are now during this time of overhaul. I'll let everyone know
about that when the time comes. :)
