Creature Catalog Issues

[Cleon]

Since the latest Enworld revision the Creature Catalog Forums have been displaced to become sub-forums of the Pathfinder & Starfinder forum from the Dungeons & Dragons forum where they belong.

Also, every thread in Monster Homebrews and Homebrews Graveyard has vanished and the Creature Catalogue Website link is broken - it still points to the old location of https://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?197-Creature-Catalogue-Website, not the current Creature Catalog Monster Index.

Well at least General Monster Talk is still working!

It hasn't moved. The name of the parent forum was simply changed from Pathfinder, Older Editions, & Variants to Pathfinder & Starfinder -- quite a while ago!

Well the Creature Catalog are still D&D 3/3.5 conversions, so does it really belong in a Pathfinder parent forum?

Wouldn't it make better sense as a sub-forum of the Dungeons & Dragons forum, who's self-declared role is to "Discuss all topics about D&D including D&D rules and products and history, or post your own creations for others to share".

Sure.

We’re busy with the software upgrade, and there will be lots of changes in the next few weeks.

Thanks.

There's no hurry. I'm sure the upgrade has a lot of higher priority things to get sorted out.

Hopefully when everything's running smoothly the threads that have gone AWOL from some of the CC's subfora will reappear. Or at least the important ones. It'd be a pain for someone at Admin to restore them manually.

Well the good news is that the Creature Catalog Forums have their own entry in Hosted Forums now, which makes sense.

Any idea when the "updated and revised version" of the Creature Catalog files themselves will reappear? There's currently nothing in https://www.enworld.org/creaturecatalog - no Index or any of the Monsters from Aartuk to Zygraat.

I just get "Oops! We ran into some problems."

Presumably that'll happen quite often until you get the upgrade sorted out.

That’s a link to your desktop.

Taking a look.

Another issue. Many of the Creature Catalog forum threads (General Monster Talk subforum) seem to have been displaced to other forums in the software upgrade. Maybe this happened to the threads from the other subforums before the switchover also.

If we track down some of these threads, how do you want us to notify you to move them back? Use the post report function?

Oops!

The Aartuk was the https://www.enworld.org/creaturecatalog/Conversions/Aartuk.htm version but the other two where my local version.

Just corrected the Index and Zygraat links.
