Are we going to still be able to track the mod threads we follow from the Forums side or no? So far, all I am able to track is content/posts from the Forums and that pretty much makes things difficult.
Sounds like a plan. If you have something that would make a "sticky post" overly long, the Articles section would make a good alternative to post explainations and whatnot. The "sticky" could be used to point out where to look for the information for specific topics.
I watch a number of Fallout 3 mods, and in the past few months there have been Vortex users mentioning the same thing about some of those older FO3 mods. Very strange.
The Fallout 4 mods section has been working for me over the passed few days and is still doing so today. Perhaps you should post your issue in the Site Feedback forum and see what the staff have to say.
From where did they vanish? Are you referring to losing your tracked mods or your installed mods from your mod manager? If the latter, which mod manager? No one can help if you do not provide enough details.
Try leaving you question/issue on the mod thread once again. If you still cannot leave a comment, perhaps send a PM (personal message) to the uploader and see if you can get assistance that way. A lack of a helpful response in an open forum usually means that anyone seeing the post actually lacks any knowledge about the issue. I apologize for not suggesting this in my previous post.
The only locked posts in the comments section of the Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch are the three "sticky" posts at the top of the page. No other posts are locked, and the uploader replied to a post as recently as yesterday (January 14, 2023).
