HB User Manual Doesn't keep up with Updates
« on: March 11, 2012, 09:14:47 PM »
Is it me and I just don't know where to look? The user manual on the HB website is dated 11/6/2007. How are we supposed to know what the changes do and how to set them without trial and error?

Most of the time HB defines the changes when they put out updates, such as they did with the 6.180 update.  HB also posted YouTube videos on this update.

One would think that the HB web site would easily show the information instead of having to go to youtube.. ::)

I take the FAQ information back, it is not kept up to date

George....I sometimes see something on HB and then it just disappears.  Computer Grimlens I guess.

Even our forum gets a bit unwieldy at times..

I have taken to bookmarking things I think I may use for reference..

I have trouble sometimes getting the right search argument in at the top to find something I know has been posted..I have to try several to sometimes a few different ways to search..
