so i recently installed forge and it worked fine. opened up, played well, then i added mods, runic dust, and thaum craft. i put them in the mods folder and opened minecraft and got a black screen, i can delete the mods and it works fine, but if they're in it in any form it won't work. i installed them exactly the way it told me to, and it should have worked. one thing i noticed is runic dust came in a executable jar file while thaumcraft in a winRAR zipped archive.

edit:

i looked on the forum and runic dust was split, so i had to put some other parts on than what i did to work
