Realm Works in Action forum

[Viking2054]

Greetings,

Is the new 'Realm Works in Action' forum the place for How To videos and discussions? If it is, can we get a link inside the 'Realm Works Forums' at the top along with the link to the 'Realm Works Feature Request' forum and the locked 'Realm Works Early Access' forum?

If you haven't seen it, you have to go back to the Lone Wolf Development Forums to find it. Right now it's empty, but it would be a nice place to start posting links to those awesome videos, and for people to request videos or guides.

I think you're better off encouraging folks to bookmark the main forum (http://forums.wolflair.com/index.php) or the product level (http://forums.wolflair.com/forumdisplay.php?f=66) rather than having subforums with all sorts of cross-links. :(

(Also note the redundant link to the Feature Requests forum at the product level.)

Why not have the link in both places? I'm not sure everyone wants to go to the main forum, especially if they only own and care about Realm Works. Seems to me that a link in both places would maximize viewing potential.

I doubt I a the only one who didn't know it existed because I am always here

I assume LW are planning on moving some of the existing threads?

I can start posting in there but I kinda had the feeling it wasn't quite ready yet.

The forum was just created late Monday. We need to get everything setup pertaining to it, which hasn't been done yet. We'll be doing that shortly. Once it's all setup the way we want it, we'll let everybody know. Please hang tight for a little longer... :)

Cool. Let us know when you're ready.

Because the more cross-links you have, the more cluttered and confusing it all looks. Eventually you have to trust your users to expend a very minimal amount of effort to find the information they want.

As far as not wanting to see other products, I already suggested bookmarking the Realm Works subforum (http://forums.wolflair.com/forumdisplay.php?f=66) level.

I understand where Parody is coming from, but many of the videos involve demonstrating RW used WITH HL. For many of us they are almost one tool. Many threads easily pertain to both HL and RW. I suppose most such threads are better situated in the RW forum than the HL one as you are typically using HL with RW, not RW with HL.

[kbs666]

Any video I make that involves HL will be from the PoV of using RW. I use HL a lot but my forays into things like the editor have not gone well.

The Forum is all set up and ready to play with! I've moved the GM Tour thread to its new home, are there any other threads that would make sense to relocate?

[daplunk]

These are the ones I can recall.

Sorry if I jumped the gun Rob. I just wanted to make sure people knew it was there since I had been peeking into the new forum ever since I noticed it, but saw absolutely no activity there.

Glad to see it is starting to be used.
