How would I convert this into a JSon?
I'm just amazed how these people keep finding the wrong stuff, he had to have used the search, but instead of finding the newer stuff, he finds some ancient history, i do not know how many pages ago that is normally, i use the "show 100 posts per page" and the stuff this guy found is on the page 133 out of 182, so it has to be about few hundred pages of old info in the default settings.

Is there any way to pin a comment to the top of the thread??
That way you put a detailed expression and appear on every page

Though they would ask anyway

There is a note in the OP that says, people should read the installation guide and we still have some come in with the JNI error :FacePalm:
I just assume every person is super stupid AND can't understand English well :ROFLMAO:

To be fair, that isn't exactly common knowledge to a normie. You have to be an intense nerd or degenerate (like us) to know how to use a search engine for an answer.

it's because search results aren't sorted by latest date, so you get an unordered chronology. People intuitively expect the top result to be the newest in a word search

They also have to be incredibly unobservant to not notice the date when that post was made, or the page the post is found at.

I said search engine because the guy needed help converting the file. Google, Bing, or even DuckDuckGo would be the best way to find an answer for that.
It's probably because that one post has about 30 reactions and the default search order may be done by "most popular"...
There's a solution to that: https://f95zone.to/account/preferences

Let's call what it is: those people are being lazy and expecting others to spoon feed them the answers instead of spending a few minutes searching and reading.
That is the issue with most of the kids coming her to fap, yes. Been that way here since the java switch.

When judging software, blaming users for not making enough efforts to follow bad UX is never a good idea, besides being plain wrong. There's actually something called for this exact purpose, a pillar for good software design (whether it's systems or interfaces). Applying it to result driven features, it translates to familiar default configs, which in this case is chronological order.

Neither did I. Just goes to show that making configs available is never a substitute for good defaults.
One way to make it an even better experience is to expose the config in the UI of the search result on top of being available in the account preferences.

While bad UI/UX exists and issues around it should absolutely be resolved, there is such a thing as people being PFS (I'll let people tease that acronym out). This website basically uses a standard forum template that's existed for decades with modifications for its particular needs, and does much better than many others at providing customizability for search options. Sometimes the UI issue is just and ID-10-T issue.

1. People asking questions previously answered
2. People talking shit about the people asking said questions

One of these is far more annoying than the other, and you know damn well which one.

Edit for clarity: it's #2. It is very much #2.
