Description
There's definitely more outdated info for 1.8, it just has to be checked.
Examples found just now:
- http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/translations/translations/#finding-translations links to old translations (the doc could be improved with the new 1.8.1 ACP translation features, too)
- http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/development/standards/#php-code-demarcation - we don't use closing tags anymore
- http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/development/cookies/#the-cookie-list misses many cookies (and
acploginattemptsis incorrectly duplicated, the 2nd should beadminsid) - http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/development/contribute/#working-with-github-39-s-issue-tracker -
Approvedlabel is nowFixed(and there are more labels not described in the doc) - http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/faq/logout/ -
Cannot loginandCookieslinks are outdated - http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/security/recovery/#new-security-measures has outdated PIN info too (and the whole section is a duplicate which can be replaced with a simple link: http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/security/recovery/#new-security-measures)
- http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/security/recovery/#get-in-control - Spybot is not really the most recommended tool right now, it could be replaced with KVRT, Hitman Pro or anything similar
