So, I'm getting ready to move my game from the old version to this new version, and, naturally, I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. So I check the instructions .
"The home page is “Browse” -> “Forums.” Games are not created here. Please do not click “Start a new topic” in order to create a game. INSTEAD! Under browse, click “Games.” In the upper left, you will see “Start a Game.” Click it.
A menu will open, it has the following options:"
"Games are not created here." Then why mention it? Or, rather, why mention it first? Make it a parenthetical comment instead, after saying where games are supposed to be.
"Under browse, click 'Games'..." Um, it's 'Under"--it's the next option over, "Beside."
"In the upper left, you will see 'Start a Game." Um, no. No I don't. There's a "Create" pull-down menu, but there's no "Start A Game" that I've been able to find so far.
I am guessing that these instructions were for when the new site got started, and just need to be updated to match subsequent improvements. As it stands though, it doesn't match, which creates confusion, and if I started an new game here, I would just be guessing and hoping I got it right. One thing I learned from working documentation is that the only thing more aggravating and frustrating than no instructions was incorrect instructions. "No Information" is better than "Wrong Information."
I don't mean to be an @#$%, but can this please be addressed?
