A while back, gameboyguy13 started a Smackdown on FAQs that needed updating because they still pointed to the old "comment settings" or "viewing options" pages.

I've done those that I was priv-authorized to do, plus I wanted to notify y'all about one other one:

* FAQ 259

* FAQ 277

* FAQ 283

* FAQ 286

* FAQ 50, Read more... )

Now that the new Account Settings page is live, pretty much any faq that refers to /manage/settings/ or /manage/comments/ needs to be edited to update the links. I've done a few, but it looks like several more still need to be changed (and variable-ized). By faqcat, they are:
comments 20, 23, 62, 66
troubleshooting 40, 115
ext_sites 50, 182
( Read more... )

This is somewhat of a placeholder; I'm going through the FAQs right now and noting which ones need to be modified to address Sponsored+ accounts, and crossed off as we go along.

Right now: need S+ test accounts to test todo list stuff for 86, and 145 requires someone stylesy to critique/inform.

( this will probably get pretty long. )

As of about an hour ago, I have finally completed HTMLising and incorporating our shiny new FAQ variables into as many of our ~250 FAQs as need be. This means one very important thing, in that any and all future changes to, or any new, FAQs must follow the official HTML formatting guidelines, and must incorporate variables where appropriate.Sorry ( Read more... )

Another smackdown. There are still eight six! outstanding proposals, and I'll tend to those tomorrow/sometime. But for now, we have:

[link] FAQ91 now links to FAQ191, on errors that occur if you don't backdate correctly.

[link] FAQ25 now explains what happens to an account whose username you rename to.

[link] FAQ115 now includes "you might need ( Read more... )

This is just a cleanup of some of the things marked status-pending. Not everything's been handled yet, but we'll get it sooner or later. ;) This is just round one!

[link] FAQ71: updated to include a full list of password requirements
[link] FAQ229: clarified that you use edittags.bml, not editjournal.bml
[link] FAQ30: added a line saying that we ( Read more... )

FAQ 202 | bekithewitch thought that adding a friend wasn't a paid account search option.
FAQ 132 & FAQ 186 | it0376 noticed that Site Options is not the same as Browse Options.
FAQ 226 & FAQ 227 | boredinsomniac showed tags partially working in S1.
FAQ 109 | gameboyguy13 pointed out that there was still old information on time zones.
FAQ 71 | Also, coffechica added more information on the new password ( Read more... )

It's that time again! As always, let me know in comments if I scewed up something relatively minor in the smackdown, or post a new entry if you want to suggest a bigger change (or if you want to suggest something unrelated to these FAQs).

This includes everything up through yesterday (10/12), plus my quick FAQ title change that I posted today.

Everything since the last smackdown, yay!

[link] FAQ244 updated to indicate that the COPPA auth charge is US$ 1.00

[link] editinfo.bml had some wording tweaks, and a handful of FAQs (mostly commenting-related) were adjusted to reflect the new nomenclature for the options on that page.

[link] FAQ245 (How do I invite a friend to join LiveJournal ( Read more... )

This smackdown covers about two months' worth of entries, although not all of them are mentioned here. In future, smackdown posts will link to all entries since the previous smackdown regardless of the decision made, and decisions will be made on any posts tagged with the absolutely vital status-pending tag. If your proposal doesn't have that tag, ( Read more... )
