Thanks Red Queen, for informing us that Larian has acted upon the issue of the Modding section of the forum not being accessible.
I can confirm that now have access to it. Also, the posts/threads that you moved there (after the forum came back online) are visible indeed. (The messages that were posted on the 3rd and 4th are not, just like everywhere else.)
I can't help noticing that players have raised this issue with Larian for a full week, before our moderator picked up the torch and obtained results within a day. The annoying bit with Larian's ivory tower policy is that we don't know if :
- Larian didn't get our messages (e.g. because the forums are not monitored frequently enough) ; or
- Larian did get our message and decided it wasn't worth solving the reported issue (we're lowly players after all, and this forum is an afterthought).
And when the Red Queen relayed the issue, Larian acted on it and fixed it promptly. Which suggests
- Larian does receive messages when they come from the moderator, that's when they were notified of the issue and decided to fix it ; or
- Larian initially decided not to fix the issue but on second thought (since it was no longer reported by mere players) they decided it was worth fixing it.
Of course, it's also possible that this is just an unfortunate coincidence. Perhaps Larian was notified of the issue a week ago, it took a week to solve it, and then the Red Queen just happened to contact Larian the day before it was fixed. So it merely looks as if it was the fact that the same request came from the moderator that got things fixed.
