That was actually done a few days ago. That is not what was done today.

The Blizzard Tech zone and the Battlefield forums were merged into the Gaming Help Zone. The General Tech Help Zone is the same except the name was changed, I don't quite remember the old one :D.

There are other minor changes involving the moving of a couple forums into other categories.

I spend too much time here >.> <3

//Edit He also added Members By Rep and forum leaders links.

You removed an entire section on the navigation? Is corporate gifts new?

You've moved the news and submission above General Discussion and Bugs, which I actually do not agree with at all o_O I feel Discussion should be above news, though I guess I can understand how our news typically becomes Discussion.

In my mind, I see discussion below news as making news "more important", when I actually think they're pretty equal. Lacking a way to have two forums on the same slot, I believe Discussion proves more important, as discussion can be about news and thensome.

Also, I see this as causing the Discussion forum to become less active, which it's already lacking in. :(

That's my opinion on that one change :)

World Editor Forum added to World Editor section and that section reworded and reordered again. Added Members By Reputation link to forum controls.

Leaving the News Forums above the Discussion forums for now in order (not necessarily in importance) but that might change as that section is currently Work in Progress.

I think the tooltip of the WE Help Zone should be changed.

Code:
This is the original one:
Volunteer Helpers help Warcraft 3 World Editor Mappers with questions from basic to Advanced including
sections for JASS, Spells, Submit your maps for download section, and more. Includes comprehensive
Warcraft 3 World Editor Tutorials. Moderated forum - please Read the Rules of the Forum before
Posting.

Code:
This is the suggested one:
Volunteer Helpers help Warcraft 3 World Editor Mappers with questions from basic to advance. JASS,
Spells and Contests sections and more. Includes comprehensive Warcraft 3 World Editor Tutorials.
Moderated forum - Please read the Rules of the Forum before posting. Search is your friend.

Im not sure what "Submit your maps for download section" was so I removed it. Again, this is just a suggestion, I was reading it and found it a little confusing :).

I changed the WE Help Forum description as per Myzteryz's suggestion.

I also added some more links under the World Editor Section.

I suggest adding a link to the Contest subforum under the section World Editor.

It might attract more members to TH.net. Contests are always fun :)

Also, maybe change the "Fun Stuff" category to "Entertainment"?

Fun Stuff sounds a little out of place compared to the other category names.

Just my 2 cents :)

    If you are new to the site please check out the Recipe and Food Forum https://www.thehelper.net/forums/recipes-and-food.220/
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
