Missing manual/broken link

[Timwi]

In your FAQ it says:

What do all those settings in Advanced do?

Please consult the manual found on the download page.

However, there is no "manual" there.

Help File (as labeled on the download page). No bug.

Granted, the link could be labeled more consistently, but really, you should probably look around a bit more before considering this or that a bug (or at least ask first before determining yourself that something is a bug?). This makes it the 4th (?) or 5th (?) "bug" thread of yours that isn't actually a bug. Whatever, ignore that. I'm feeling a bit low on patience today, but probably shouldn't be taking it out on anyone xD

That said, I've bugged the administrator about it.

I understand your reaction, however please look at it from my point of view: I pressed Ctrl+F to search for "manual" and there wasn't one. Despite the fact that there's the link as you mentioned, this is reason for concern, because if I didn't find it, then likely others won't find it either! In that sense, it is a "bug" - a usability bug. Please do not downplay the value of bugreports of this nature.

You say that I should ask first before considering something a bug. However, I am not posting here because I have a question but because I have a problem. If I don't understand something, then sometimes it's because I'm stupid, but often it's because the UI is bad, misleading, confusing or unintuitive; so far all of my reports (except for the thing with the write lock) were an example of the latter, and even after knowing what I could have done differently, I would still recommend fixing it. I even gave specific suggestions for fixing some of the issues I brought up, but unfortunately your colleague DreadWingKnight likes to be rather dismissive of such suggestions.
