Necessity of a guide like this is a testimonium paupertatis for a public mod host (or for the users probably?).
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=findpost&pid=4318495

Probably more the site, fileplanet don't exactly go out of their way to tell you that you can use it for free - but then, can you blame them? That is how they make their living after all. I suppose it would be awkward for PES to show something like this too, since they're all part of the same group. It's a tangled web of intruigue. :D

(Nice use of testimonium paupertatis BTW, it's been so long since I've heard that I almost couldn't remember what it meant. :P)

No, I would not blame them for the request of monetary support itself, which PES would deserve for sure. I mean, there must be something to be simplified with the procedure before you get access to the files if this comes up at the board this often.

No, there will not be an update to the Guide, at least until Oblivion comes out. I left the community, and basically stopped playing Morrowind, at the end of the Summer. Anyone who wishes to update the Guide for whatever changes the Summit has gone through since the end of the Summer, may do so. Just give me credit for the original one.

To tell you truthfully, I completly forgot about the Elder Scrolls games, and forums. The only reason I was reminded is because I suscribed to this topic, and I got an email.

Great, now how about an idiot's guide to contacting technical support when FP's registration system doesn't work 8 times in a row from 3 different computers, 3 different browsers, 4 different e-mails, and 2 different IPs?  I sent half a dozen e-mails to their tech support address and got not one response.  If some kind soul on the forums here hadn't let me use his logon for the site, I'd never be able to use it.  And I know I'm not the only one to have trouble logging onto it, so don't say "It works fine for me".  That doesn't help me at all...

never sign up for sites like this, or nytimes.com or whatever hassle-registration-so-we-can-target-ads-to-you-better=sites. Go to bugmenot.com, type in the sitename and use whatever password you like off their list. It's an anti registration site, also useful for downloads hosted on forums that force registration and reading enwspapers sites that force registration.

Just so you do know, I did put a community registration in the first post.

Amen.

1. People get directed to this thread all the time.
2. Some of the people in 1. haven't yet learned how to effectively use the Search function, nor how to look back over threads from the last 5 days/week/month/etc., nor how to set one's screen to view more than the default number of threads.
3. Because of 1. and 2. we wind up bumping this thread repeatedly, or have to go searching for it to give the poor buggers a direct link.

Pinning it would be a great help.

I wouldn't advise it. It has been scientifically verified by a team of experts and reported in countless journals of behavioral studies and included in several recent anolytical papers on internet behavior patterns: stickying a thread ensures that nobody will ever read it, under any circumstances, ever. Not once. People who come to forums such as this will walk ten miles in the snow to avoid reading a thread that has been stickied. They will deliberately and methodically cut off their fingers one by one rather than subject themselves to the agony and tedium and dull, dreary, brain-cell-destroying monotony of reading a stickied thread. They will eat eat broccoli rather than read a stickied thread.

No! No! We can't let that happen here! We can't let happen to Mori's thread what has happened to Morrowind Mods FAQ! We must not let that happen! There's too much at stake! Think of the children!

Unfortunately it's been pointed out before that it's not going to get pinned since Bethesda doesn't favor one fansite over the other --> no stickying for anyone's site-related topics. I don't have to say this as much as the Fileplanet explanation itself, but could ask them to make a sticky about it :P

Absolutely correct. However, it would be easier to find so that those of us who point people to this thread have it handy.

I was thinking that might be the reason it hasn't been pinned, and I was hoping that for once, expediency might just possibly maybe please oh please win out over the mandates of professional ethics. I know, some folks feel that it may cause our sun to go supernova to do something contrary to professional ethics. I, myself, usually understand and support them, if only because such things, when they operate as they are designed to, eliminate needless squabbling. But I am hoping that ease-of-use and prevention-of-flaming(due to frustration)-newbies-who-need-directions might ultimately win the day.

Bump. And something I just figured out about why it was acting stupid for me. And, no, I didn't read all of the hundred some odd posts in this thread. Got about three pages in... zzzzz.

Anywho: when you click the actual link to it, like with Mournhold Expanded, I would constantly get redirected (despite being logged in; cookies are fine) to "JOIN."

When I copy-pasted the link, rather than use the redirect BS, I didn't get redirected. It was all copacetic.

Now I just have to spend the next few hours downloading Mournhold Expanded.
