Hi,

Im a relative newbie but with some experience in large software dev projects.

I recently installed blender 2.58a upgrading from 2.46 . I was shocked to find that i could no longer navigate the 3d viewport . I use a laptop so alt+lmb gives me rotation of the view.

I posted the problem here http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?226798-View-port-Navigation-mmb-no-longer-rotates-vport-in-2.58

Now my question is - should I update the wiki for 2.5 to explain that you have to go to preferences and tick emulate mmb, or (preferred) should future 2.5x versions ship with mmb emulation on by default. I think the latter is a much better solution since it gives backward compatibility to all laptop users.

Ive notice a big problem with blender in general - that you often search for help on a topic and find a solution, but written using a previous version. Now the gui has changed and the fix that was out there no longer works. This happens so often that it`s becoming quite frustrating to use blender (and i really love blender). So please can the top mangos on this project give some thought as to how this backwards compatability with unregulated help communities can work more smoothely.
