Apparently once again, they moved it...

 

 

Tho its probably not a bad idea get everything you want while you still can...

 

 

Still can't get there.  '>

Can you describe exactly what you did with your hosts file, 3RavensMore?

               The host file fix is discussed in depth here.

The new vault is great and all but... 

 

Its structure is so poor that its almost impossible to realistically search for something there unless you already know what your looking for. The new vault itself is a wonderful wonderful idea  and i FULLY support it but i can never find anything. The site itself needs redone or at least the organization structure.

 

The old vault was easy to navigate and that was its greatest strength.

Just an fyi the new vault is a free, paid, service by the administrator Rolo kipp. From what I gathered, he alone supports the website out of his own pockets. At this point its better to have one, and one so generously by a loving fan like Rolo, than to have to work with the Nexus or worse.

 

I cant say i know any other place that still supports vaults, like the old ign vault. it'd be nice, but i havent heard anything about new vaults. IGN said they'd fix the issue with The old Vault. But that was 5 months ago when they did

Actually couple of folks made some donations.

 

Problem with the new vault is that only Rolo and Akin are currently messing with the site's code and thay do it in their own free time and aree not getting paid for it.

Simply we don't have a complete team working full hours.

 

Not to mention we work on transferring the data by automated means. That includes making better tag system with the tags being autofilled by the said bot.

 

I'm aware there are not as many labels by which you could search, but it is still a work in progress. (and some of those labels we inherited from oldie were messed up: for example module could not be dungeon adventure and final at once because it was 1-choice only field)

None the less, the layout is very convoluted and confusing at times. The nexus is very clear in comparison.

It's one of those things where there's not much that can be done unless you have time/knowledge or money. I agree, the old vault had categories, ratings, and even comments (even though they seem to be universally despised) that made it simpler to find something and know what you were getting. However, it is true having a Vault maintained by Rolo and others is already a blessing, and we can hardly ask them for more.

What might be best is to take some of the automation out of it and simply have new posters actually fill in the blanks in order to mimic the style of the old vault.

 

 

Old things could theoretically use there old vault tags (if they still exist). Granted that's a lot of if's but its a good start or at least jumping off point for thinking of an organization structure.

@ Jedijax The only thing I despised about the comments on either vault is that too few people made them. How are you supposed to grow without feedback (and I preferred the negative ones (even those I ignored) to the "that's great" - but that's just me  '> ).
