I would like to request a board for meta discussion about the forum.
I would like to make some suggestions for changes to minor forum related quality of life things, like css changes and so on.
I do not feel like this board is the right place to do that. If you think otherwise, please let me know.

Best regards,
- busti

Forge's CSS stuff is here: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Web

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Reveal hidden contents

Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

What to provide:

...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

Post debug.log

Older versions:

Please update...

...for Installer Issues:

Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

Note for Windows users:

Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

Where to get it:

Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

or alternately,

Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

@DaemonUmbraThank you, I have submitted a PR. However there are other things that I'd like to request that do not belong anywhere. Where should I put those?

I would say that, for lack of a better place, General Discussion would work, but I'm not the one who decides on new sections.

Also I can't say opinions on the Forums itself is a common request so I'm not sure a brand new section would be worth the effort.

The thing is, posts like that in General Discussion get drowned rather easily and I would like to avoid bumping them.
The people in charge might not be online all the time, so it might need to stay up for a while before it get's read.
I guess the "Suggestions" board is a bit better allthough it is also not indented to be used for something like that.

This is one of the major problems I have with forums, everyone is fighting to get their post to the top and keep it there.
