What is the point?

PITA

It might be nice if we could start a list somewhere of what doesn't work so far so we can see if we can get them upgraded for 3.6.

3.6 is not a major new version, and in my opinion it doesn't warrant a new section. It just gives people another excuse to dupe their mods for a new version./

Exactly! They add an unpdate to make it look like it is different, but it really isn't.

I too have to agree. The addition of 3.6 forums seems to be unnecessary and worse, confusing. I expect new members or members that don't frequent the site may search and find a mod they want and see it's for 3.5.x and move on.

Well, this would solve it.

Get rid of the 3.6 forums

Rename the 3.5 forums to 3.5/3.6

currently the author has the option to do this [vB 3.5.x] Hack name

Edit the template to give the author the option to choose this

[vB 3.5.x]/[vB 3.6.x] Hack name

Now when we go to that hack/mod

We will know it works for what version, no more confusion

If this does not get done, I will be surprised.

I agree with everything hornstar1337 said apart from the title of the threads Should be: [vB 3.5.x/3.6.x] Hack name

Shorter

Would it not be possible to do it this way:

Code a system so that if ANY 3 people "tag" it as 3.6 compatible, it gets auto moved to 3.6?

No point really, as what I have said above is the method that should be done with one exception [vB 3.5.x/3.6.x] Thanks Dean lol

As if there's not enough griping threads on this site.... for DAYS people have been bellyaching about how the site restructure has made it harder to find things. Staff creates a 3.6 section to make it EASIER for people who d/l 3.6 to find 3.6 mods... lo and behold someone has to find a reason to gripe about that too???

I can see it now.........................
After 3.6 stable version comes out, new members d/l 3.6, come looking for the 3.6 section to d/l 3.6 modifications, don't find said section... and here comes the onslaught of threads in site feedback asking where to find the hacks for 3.6.
Do you REALLY think they are going to look in 3.5.x for a 3.6 mod?? All of you who are griping about every stupid little thing you can find to gripe about... be ready to stand guard at site feedback and answer thread after thread of where to find the 3.6 hacks.

This place is becoming childish and ridiculous
