... in the future, maybe it could link to a specific using module forum?

We have quite a lot of forums here, so I don't know if have 150+ module forums would help users find what they are looking for. Hopefully the new Help tab makes it easier to find documentation and other module specific info though - it's something we're working on improving (mainly through improving the search).

Hope this helps!

@michael,

Looked at this again. The existing link to /forum is fine. There might be information scattered through multiple areas of the support forum.

The module Help tab also leads to a link to "Documentation", but here it might not be hard-wired to a specific document but to a search on documentation.

I suspect this because when I followed the help tab for Gravatar Images, and the Documentation tab, the result looks like gibberish. Perhaps there is something in the Development documentation that mentions Gravatars, or perhaps it is just a bad link.

It looks like gibberish because its in the development section and the section is about coding.

The title of that document is {if jrCore_module_is_active()}{/if} and its about how to code a module is active block.

I've updated the docs for the Gravitar Images module.

Docs: "Gravatar Images"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2947/gravatar-images

If there is anything you feel is missing from the docs, let me know and I'll get it in there

Hi... The Gravatar documentation at your link looks fine, but the Documentation link in the Help screen (see attached) does not go there - not directly at least.

It goes to a page with search screen for documentation, and a prominent active link to the Development code mentioned above.

Maybe this is intended, because the URLS for relevant documentation may change or multiply over time. But it did confuse me because it looks like the Development code link is the result of pressing the "Documentation" button.
