Help fix the Help Bubbles!

[Ryan Roos]

This is a Help Bubble from the admin area!



Okay they aren't actually that big, but now you know what they look like.

Whenever you see one hover over it with your cursor...



We've been over and over the admin area proof reading, double checking and making sure everything is correct. However even with that said, we still need your help.

We know the system, inside and out, and often we don't even hover on the help bubbles. But even when we do, we still know things you don't. So we might take things for granted or perhaps we think something is obvious that isn't.

This is where all of you come in.

If there is a help bubble that doesn't make sense to you. Or one that seems like it's just wrong. Or even maybe there's a feature that doesn't have a help bubble...
We want you to help us fix it!

Copy this form (highlight it, Ctrl + C) and paste is (Ctrl + V in your reply).

I know of one such bubble....... I have a screen shot. Problem for me is answering your last 2 question.

Hi @ritab,

If you think a bubble is wrong then you must have a reason for thinking that no matter how small (#4). That reason may also hold your answer to #3.

Example: Let's say you say "The bubble only mentions threads, but it should be posts and threads." is your answer to number 4. That would be you simply would add the words 'and posts' to the existing sentence (your answer for number 3)

Just do your best to answer the questions and a screenshot would be excellent. It's more important that we find and fix bubbles then that you have the answers to every question. When someone thinks they have a problem, it's usually best if that person is the one to think of a possible solution. Since the problem seemingly affected them the most, enough for them to mention it. In those cases the person should have a reason the problem is a problem and a solution. In this case a solution would be an idea for better text. That doesn't mean we will use that for the text, but it gives us even further insight into the minds of people having the problems. Maybe you mention something specific in your made up sentence that you even forgot to mention was a problem in the other questions. It all just helps us make a final decision. You don't need to worry about the pressure of creating the next help bubble. We'll do that with the information we gather.
