REQUEST Could we have a sticky telling people we have subforums?

+1 to forum being a mess, way too many people posting mod releases in the MAIN sub after molloygos spent all that time making subforums and moving everything over manually one by one... only to have everyone go back to the main sub and spam releases and WIPs

Lack of sticky threads doesn't help AT ALL, have already seen multiple requests for one and the modding discussion threads are a PERFECT candidate

 

Couldn't they briefly lock out the main area for people to discover that there's an entire subsection? (A few days max?) I do agree with everyone saying there should at least be a sticky, but I feel like people would over-look it if they're just gonna over-look the current situation..

 

Tbh even though people rarely read 'em they're still nice to have for the people that do read stuff. I know I do.

 

If you put it in the title they won't even need to click it. It's harder to miss something bold and stuck at the top!

 

Well y'needa do something, mate. What do you think would fix it?

 

Haha, yes, but I feel like people (I know I do) just scroll straight to the topics. I didn't even see that up there even when I knew we had the subforums

 

would a sticky really be that big of an effort tho? don't understand the problem here.. anyway
there's always new people here, who are gonna 'need a week to get it'..
and no, the subforums aren't obvious in this forum layout if you don't know about them..
I really don't want to have to keep messaging modders forever, letting them know about the subforums and the advantages they bring. most of the people i wrote last 2 days (around ten) were not aware of them.
you went through all the trouble to make subforums so why hide them. noone is critiquing the 'superior forum layout' or your effort, but a sticky thread would make a very simple immediate improvement.
all it has to say is something like "hey look.. we have cool new subforums.. see that mods/wip box above, there's also a tab for subforums, incase you missed it.. we recommend posting your finished mods and respries under the related category to make it easier to find and less likely to dissappear after a few days, thanks."

 

I think putting the subcategories straight from here rather than Mods > subcategories would make them MUCH more visible and more likely to be posted in. People don't notice one subforum, but they'll notice like 8.

 

This.

 

That's a great idea, too!

 

This'd be the best way to handle it imo.
