Hello All, Hoping one of you genii will be able to help me out here. I have recent made my own modpack and all was well and dandy so i decided to setup a server as well. I have downloaded the most recent forge for 1.7.10 and set it up following a youtube tutorial (not sure if i'm allowed to link but hey ho: ). I uploaded everything to my server and when i start the server with Multicraft everything loads fine. But Multicraft says the server is offline! But it can't be as I can connect through the client and play on the server. I haven't had this problem with the other servers i have been running so I'm guessing i have setup forge wrong. I would post crash reports but the server doesn't crash! just says it is offline. Would appreciate it if someone could help Cheers
