Posted August 9, 201213 yr what do u think about to create a board with the most asked questions and answers about forge? like why people should not use mcpatcher or modloader, ..... etc do u get, what i want to explain? this could clean up the bug forum, cuz many people mostly ask the same questions ... then u/we dont have to answer every question, people can look up the common causes for their problems Minecraft.net Username: Sailren
August 9, 201213 yr The main issue with this is that there's already an FAQ for the most part. It's on the Wiki. Click here to go to it. The next big issue with this is the laziness of a lot of the people coming to ask questions. They don't bother to search for the answers at all, even though the answers are right in front of their faces. It's a contradictory laziness, yes, but they can't know that until they're pointed into the right direction. I fear that even if the F.A.Q. were posted here on the forums, it'd get ignored as easily as the "Read this or you may get banned." sticky. The number of people who ignore that post altogether completely boggles my mind. lol Check out my Texture Packs Thread here on the Forge Forum. Currently in the process of adding some mod support for JohnSmith Texture Pack. https://www.sugarsync.com/piv/D8135159_67366891_21351[/img] https://www.sugarsync.com/piv/D8135159_67366891_772852[/img]
August 9, 201213 yr it would be easier to have a direct link from the forum to it atleast Being noobish since 96, being dumb since birth!
August 9, 201213 yr Author i agree with u, the questions there, are some of the questions here, which will be asked 5 times a day i guess. Minecraft.net Username: Sailren
August 10, 201213 yr A nice system to have would be one that asks a random question from the FAQ and requires the correct answer before new accounts can post. That should get people reading it and maybe finding the answer themselves
August 15, 201213 yr A nice system to have would be one that asks a random question from the FAQ and requires the correct answer before new accounts can post. That should get people reading it and maybe finding the answer themselves It'd have to be the really easy questions though, not some of the more complex ones, as otherwise it could turn people away going "aaahhh! This is so complicated!" The above views are my own. You can agree, and be correct, or disagree with them, I don't mind. P.S: you'll be wrong if you do
