I made some changes to the area right below Recent Topics:

  • The "Hot Topics" section has been renamed to "Topic Spotlight" and I placed more emphasis on gaming related topics.
  • The new "Game Spotlight" section is right below Topic Spotlight giving certain game discussion sections more exposure
Regarding Game Spotlight, I linked the Skyrim and Fallout 4 subforums for now. I'm thinking of adding one or two more (upcoming) games to it in the future.

I expanded the FAQ with questions related to writing posts and membership. If you have a question that is not covered in the FAQ yet:
You can me a message via the contact form. One alternative way to message me is via my Nexus Mods profile. I listed more options to contact me on my Twitter profile (see pinned tweet). Additionally, you can ask your question here.
Yes, "here" is linked to the "About Modding on the Spectrum" thread. I already use this thread for smaller news regarding the forum. So I pragmatically gave it another purpose ;).

Recently, I received a message asking me why there aren't any basic questions in the FAQ like the "what is the goal and purpose of the forum" or "what does the name of the forum mean". It's the default FAQ that comes with the forum software of the board and any changes to it could be overwritten by updates of the forum software. But I've found a workaround: I hid the default FAQ and created a custom one using the Pages extension.

Guess what I forgot to mention in the User Guide? That you don't need to be a member to write a post since May 6, 2023. The first section of the guide is "Writing your first posts" now and I moved "Becoming a member" to the bottom.


Aside from that, I decluttered the "Infos" submenu of the navigation bar to reduce information overload.

I refined the main post of this thread incorporating our long-term goal and the main purpose of the board and giving you a brief overview of the main discussion hubs. Furthermore, the text is more logically structured now.

You may have noticed that I restructured the Forum Related Stuff section.

Why: The "Announcements" and "Feedback & Suggestions" sections could be overlooked easily because they were subforums of another subforum.

So Feedback & Suggestions got its standalone subforum and I unified the announcements and the forum information topics in one single area, the Information & Announcements section (recent announcements appear above the topics of this section).

I updated the "Becoming a member" section of the User Guide taking the recent changes to the signup process* into account.

* the social login feature and the discontinuation of the account confirmation via email (to improve accessibility, see this thread)


As a side note, you can now see a list of similar topics at the bottom of each thread. This is done via the Precise Similar Topics extension.

I took the time to rewrite the user guide to make it more user-friendly. It now includes the registration process and covers writing of your first posts. Some parts that belonged to the "About Modding on the Spectrum" topic are now part of the user guide like the "Overview of the forum's areas". At the beginning of the user guide is an index so you can jump to the info of the guide that is relevant to you.

The forum is now linked in the navigation menu of Selene's Shadow Realm, not only to lead some of the visitors here. There's another reason:
[...] I have asked myself if I should link it there in the first place since its existence. Initially, the two sites had a completely different focus regarding their subjects. I used Selene’s Shadow Realm to present my mods and projects and the main purpose of Modding on the Spectrum was to unite gamers with neurodivergent conditions. But the focus changed on both sites, better, I have changed (my mind) and it will probably not the last time that it changes (I know me too well 😀 ). Both sites have in common that they are about mods and gaming. Mental health is my main topic currently and I want to talk about it on Selene’s Shadow Realm, too, just for the sake of talking, describing my very own experiences only. So I don’t give any direct advice here (I’m already doing this on Modding on the Spectrum 😉 ). [...]

I made the navigation in the Modding section of the board index easier by linking the corresponding moddable games forums in the forum descriptions. These subsection links are marked with the ᐅ symbol.
