I have a problem with the last two since my target group is not very computer literate. I wrote a 'users guide' to help raise awareness of the forums, notifications and other things. If you find it useful feel free to rip bits out of it to suit your own purposes.....


This file is brilliant! Any chance it can be found more easily by Newbie XOOPS users? Can it be redrafted based on this website??? and put it in documentation?

I'm impressed

This is also great, the next question, probably for another topic would be:
