Forum Is a Maze

[Orosaki]

So essentially this one of the hardest forums to navigate that I've had the honor or in this case dishonor of navigating.. I cannot find anything and when a person says something like "got to the sticky above", I'm like say what. The sticky being above is extremely vague. If he means at the top of the topic list then I'm outta luck, because I had to use the search engine just to find the part of forum that had people talking aboutwhat I was looking for. That's pretty bad don't you think. Now don't get me wrong you guyss have a unique forum, but it's so nonstandard, that someone like me gets confused as to where things are.

I'm actually trying to find somewhere I can post a question about the Requiem mod, specifically one asking for help. Same as you, I don't know exactly where on the forums I'm to go as I'm rather new here. I only managed to find this post because I saw it in a list of recent posts on the right side of the screen.

 

Edit: Just found it right after this post XD.

I just realized they actually due have a directory but it doesnt look like any directory I've seen.

 

Their directory is more like

Home Forums Threads Topics

 

Instead something more easily recognizable lik

 

Home>Forums>Threads>Topics

 

This initially caused confusion as for the requiem mod it there should be a topic about it under

 

nexus forums>Site forums>Commenting>File topics

I usually use the search function for a lo of things when I go to a new forum or site that I am unfamiliar with and try to find a directory and start learning to navigate from there, it's a rule of thumb that works well for me

It's not that hard for me, though I've been here a while.

 

If you're having problems with a specific mod:

 

• Go to the mod's download page
• Click the tab with the little quote bubble on it. That's the comment's tab.
• At the top right of hte comments tab is a link that says "view as forum thread"
• Click that and it's the exact same thread on the forums
• You can now search the thread at leisure.

Now if you're on the forums and see something that says "see stickied post above" they're referring to the comment's tab of that mod page, which is formatted slightly different and allows for a sticky post to be made by the mod author or anyone maintaining the mod. You can quickly get back to the comment's tab of the mod by going to the first post on the first page or going to the mod's download page.

 

If someone refers to a "sticky thread" that will be in the sub forum you're currently exploring, at the top of the page, noticeable by the little thumbtack icon.

 

In order to find the various sub forums for the different mod sites:

• Go to the mod site in question (skyrim, ob, witcher etc)
• Click on "forums" at the top right of the page
• Takes you directly to that site's subforums.

Hopefully that helps.

I t took me a week to get used to this forum, which arguably was the longest amount of time it ever took me to get used to a new forum, as for that more advanced stuf you did well I'm beter off figuring that part out on my own. Still thanks anyways.
