New Forum Structure

Post by Daydreamer »

As you probably have already noticed the structure of this forum has changed a bit. We are still in the progress of moving the topics around into the right categories, so don't be surprised if your topics suddenly have "disappeared", they've just been teleported to a better place.

Here a short explanation of what each subforum is intended to be.

Using the forum
Here you will get general information about the forum and how to use it. Come here if you need help with inserting pictures and videos in your posts, or if you have other forum-related problems. If you have troubles posting but are able to post your problem in this forum you have no problems :wink:

Diagrams & Creasepatterns
This is the Help forum. If you need help with folding a specific model post here.
See the "How to ask for help" topic there for more details.

General Origami Talk
Everything Origami-related that doesn't fit in any other category comes here. This includes discussions about paper, software for diagramming, different techniques and forms of Origami, ...

Origami Galleries
This is the place to show your works. This can be photos of models you folded but also instructions (diagrams, CP, ...) you made for models you designed. Please don't be shy to give feedback there as well :)

Origami Clubs and Websites
The idea behind this forum is to bring together Origami-related information. This includes personal websites, information about Origami societies and clubs (no matter how small) as well as local and international meetings. Here's the place to find out what's going on in the Origami world and get in contact with other folders in real life (yes I know, it's scary...)

Origami Model Search
Looking for a specific model but can't find the diagrams or just looking for a model of a certain category to fold. Just ask here. This includes questions like "Where can I find diagrams for..." "What's the name/author of the model in this picture?" "I'm looking for ultra-complex 6-headed dragonfly-lions to fold."
Please remember that this is NO "give me diagrams for a model that is only available in a very expensive hard-to-get book"-forum. All copyright-related (and of course all other) rules apply in this category as well.

Origami Challenges
This topic should be rather self-explanatory. Come here if you look out for a folding challenge, or if you have an interesting topic to challenge the other Origami forum members.

Introductions
Introduce yourself here. This also is possible if you have been lurking in this forum since several years already :wink:

The Kitchen Sink
If you are sick of Origami (which of course will never happen) you could actually do something completely different for a while and come back later. But if you are too addicted to the forum you can also visit the Kitchen Sink. Please keep in mind that we don't really need topics there for which there are tons of other dedicated forums on the internet. F.e. if you are having troubles with your computer, the Origami forum (even if it's in the Kitchen Sink) is definitely the wrong place to ask for help. Dr. Google will probably get you the answer much quicker or at least lead you to better places to ask.

Moderator Access
Oh, wait, most of you can't see that one... :P
So long and keep folding ^_^
