From 0a6bb06f86756560643f9afe4df9843eeec40fbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harald Eilertsen Date: Sat, 25 May 2024 12:20:14 +0200 Subject: Member docs: Update dogs on tags and mentions. Rewrote it and corrected some outdated information about how to tag forums etc. Also cleaned up the markup a bit. Added information and links about which apps and admin addons are required for given functionality. Also added some images to help illustrate some subjects. Uncertain about whether the information on how the autocomplete popup is populated is correct anymore. Underlined it and added a question mark to make sure it annoys someone (possibly me) to figure it out. --- doc/en/member/assets/bookmarker-save-icon.png | Bin 0 -> 33987 bytes doc/en/member/assets/bookmarks-menu-dropdown.png | Bin 0 -> 53526 bytes doc/en/member/assets/privacy-group-tool-public.png | Bin 0 -> 39262 bytes doc/en/member/assets/privacy-tool-3.png | Bin 0 -> 140093 bytes doc/en/member/member_guide.bb | 177 +++++++++++---------- 5 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 82 deletions(-) create mode 100644 doc/en/member/assets/bookmarker-save-icon.png create mode 100644 doc/en/member/assets/bookmarks-menu-dropdown.png create mode 100644 doc/en/member/assets/privacy-group-tool-public.png create mode 100644 doc/en/member/assets/privacy-tool-3.png diff --git a/doc/en/member/assets/bookmarker-save-icon.png b/doc/en/member/assets/bookmarker-save-icon.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6a7c10eb9 Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/en/member/assets/bookmarker-save-icon.png differ diff --git a/doc/en/member/assets/bookmarks-menu-dropdown.png b/doc/en/member/assets/bookmarks-menu-dropdown.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..137ae52ad Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/en/member/assets/bookmarks-menu-dropdown.png differ diff --git a/doc/en/member/assets/privacy-group-tool-public.png b/doc/en/member/assets/privacy-group-tool-public.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..828cb6411 Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/en/member/assets/privacy-group-tool-public.png differ diff --git a/doc/en/member/assets/privacy-tool-3.png b/doc/en/member/assets/privacy-tool-3.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ba896403d Binary files /dev/null and b/doc/en/member/assets/privacy-tool-3.png differ diff --git a/doc/en/member/member_guide.bb b/doc/en/member/member_guide.bb index 2b772d1c5..e3d62a4b5 100644 --- a/doc/en/member/member_guide.bb +++ b/doc/en/member/member_guide.bb @@ -46,17 +46,17 @@ In short, a channel that represents yourself is "me, on the internet".

The limit applies to any published thing you create which has no privacy or access control.
