- ripter 13y agoSomewhere on the site they actually tell you to use Stackoverflow because it's more up to date.
- chrisblizzard 13y agoDo you have an example?
- return0 13y agoIt's odd that they chose stackoverflow for their support system, because most of the answered questions there are way obsolete by now.
- wwweston 13y agoThey chose StackOverflow for their support system at one point. At one point, they've also chosen a web forum, a wiki lots of devs bought into (but which they later entirely blew away and replaced with Bing searches of their site), and probably a half-dozen attempts at official on-site docs. When I saw they'd offloaded to StackOverflow, I thought that was an idea that had some promise, but the big question in my mind was how long until it reached the critical mass where it would consist of more out-of-date answers than current ones. And what they'd do when it does. The answer, of course, is likely move fast and break something, and heaven help the people who had the idea of building something on top of their quicksand.
- rmc 13y agoa wiki lots of devs bought into (but which they later entirely blew away and replaced with Bing searches of their site) They seemed to have fixed it now, but for a while the search box would return results from the wiki, which had been removed, leading you on an endless tempting "the answer you want is just around the corner" unhelpful drugery.
- chrisblizzard 13y agoDo you have specific examples? I've killed a lot of docs-that-are-wrong over the last few months but I would love a list of anything I've missed.
