Thanks for all your votes people but I would also like to ask you to post in the forums with your feedback of things you would like to see in more detail. That way we can plan our changes

Didn't see a button for it, but I wished there were more player tutorials, especially for some of the more complex Mods, designed for us noobs. I know WGN for A.C.E., the A.C.E. demo 1 and 2, and some you tube instructional videos. But the armatutorial.com web site doesn't display for me. And demo 1 for A.C.E. just has you walk around an empty box a bit. demo 2 shows how to refuel in mid air yet there was no tutorial that came with arma2 or oa that even showed how to fly a jet. There are some rather complex wound systems but I have no idea how most of them work, or when to use morphine, or adrenaline, etc. Also, if there is some standardized smoke colored grenades reference then it would be nice for those of us not in the military to know what they mean. This is a complex game. There are various High Command Mods, and front sector, project reality, mbg woo, modern battlefields and a slew of other game modes. These would add different features for higher level strategy, but exactly how to implement them and how one can utilize them to the utmost is just not information I have been able to obtain.

Armaholic is the site I go to the most. I love its continuous updating on the homepage and the ease of downloads. But in addition to above, I've noted that some very good SP campaigns just one day 'disappear' from the list, apparently due to age, even if given 5 stars, and then trying to track them down or where they end up is kind of a trial.

Anyway, I think you all do a great job. Incredible support for an game engine of this magnitude. Mods that are = to anything I've seen sold commercially. This noob appreciates it very much.

We do not delete pages, so I really would like to hear from you which SP campaigns it is your missing. Pages do not just dissapear, something must be wrong.
Let me know (feel free to contact me over PM).

Hi Foxhound: This is where I've found them sometimes. I am no computer expert, but they seem to occasionally redirect at times e.g. An OA SPcampaign drops off. There are four places I've relocated them. One is they seem to show up in OA SP Missions Pck, instead. Two is the Arma 2 vanilla campaign directory. Third place is in OA SP mission. Fourth is Arma 2 vanilla SP and COOP packs. If you look at the d/l directory navigation path, you can sometimes follow how they arrived there, but, for whatever reason, they seem to have been rerouted. Again, this is no big deal at all, and I don't mean it to be. If I can't relocate them, then I simply use the SIX Updater portal to reacquire them via an alternate link. I notice that when a new update for a map [associated with the campaign] or a campaign is displayed on the homepage, this increases the likelihood for the redirection. I guess I just assumed that when a SP Campaign grew 'older', it was simply taken off the main list, and put in one of the 4 directories I listed above.

Thanks again for this fantastic website.

The only suggestion I have is having videos added to show how to do things and add mods, I know when I first got here I drove Foxhound up the wall with trying to help me down load mods and now that I can I been trying to help others in the same way. That way it would hold back on so many questions from people on how to down load mods/ scripts/ modules. Just a idea, I don't see how people voted saying this website is hard to navigate because it has to be the most easiest to navigate and I don't want it changed at all. I mean go look at Total War's community, you have to look for 30 mins to find their mod down loads, this site is set up perfect. Anyways thanks...

@joe1013
Thanks for getting back at me but its a confusing story if you don't mind me saying
The only reason I can think of why campaigns/missions/missionpacks dissapear from place X only to be found on place Y again is maybe the author updated the file for OA, made it OA dependable. If it was previously in the A2 section it will indeed be moved, but never (except when the author requests) do we delete pages
We try to build a massive archive of files, removing old ones does not have place in that plan.

@navy198523
We already have a (or maybe more?) videos explaining how to install mods. How to install specific addons/scripts and/or use them is often explained in videos as well and those videos are (when we are aware such video exists) always available on the downloadpages of such addons/scripts etc.

Thanks for the feedback guys, more is always welcome

How about a chat bar on the site? lol
Just like a little taskbar box in the bottom right corner of the page which you can popup like the facebook thing and chat with other people who are browsing the site at the same time. Like a group chat thing.

It could be a fun thing to have and give those people who just want to chit chat on the forums somewhere else to do it too.

examples.
http://plugchat.in/
http://www.wibiya.com/

plugchat one looks nicest to me when playing with the customisation there, least intrusive. the sunny or mint-choc theme.

i like it just the way it is. this is a nice place to come away from the hustle and bustle of the BI forum. People here are much more layed back and easier to get along with.

Hello everyone, What about a "Help Wanted" kind of tab. A place to post your "credentials" and "Resume", or projects in the making and what they are looking for. Sort of like a musicians wanted add.

Example: I have a degree in Recording Engineering. I noticed some people would like help with their missions or mods sounds, to help make it sound more authentic. I'd be willing to contribute and help, for free. Etc. Etc.(True Story by the Way )

I don't know if this is already lurking around somewhere so I hope I'm not just posting whats already up. I know forums are usually the place to go for this, but it would be nice just to have a tab to go to and make it easier for people to connect.

Hmmm, I added the above to my list. Although, if I add it, I will set it up differently than what you describe it might indeed be a nice little addition to those in need of help.

Thanks for the suggestion

One thing I would like to see is thumbs up and thumbs down buttons on the forums and comment sections. I guess the thumbs downs is more suited for political stuff so maybe just a +1 button. Many a time someome has said what I've already thought should be said, and wanted to thumb up them.

I personally dislike that kind of stuff, some people always tend to feel the need to misuse that kind of features.
