    http://jenkins.minecraftforge.net:7070/job/forge/

    Use build 297: http://jenkins.minecraftforge.net:7070/job/forge/297/

    It just came out yesterday and is the new recommended version that mod developers will be updating towards.

    Remember to download the *universal* version.

    No idea man. works just fine for me. i have no special permissions or anything, just the bookmark.

    keep in mind that though this is the new stable, go-to version of forge, a lot of mods have still yet to catch up. You may find that a lot of them simply don't work with this new version of forge yet.

    I know that computercraft version 1.43 is in an open beta for forge build 295 (and I assume 297 will work too). Other than that things like Mystcraft are broken for anything beyond build 254. xcompwiz is actually developing the mod to be a non-jar mod so thats good. Other things i'm unsure about. it's gonna be a lot of trial and error.

    If you want my suggestion I would follow the developers your interested in and see when they update their mods to be forge 297 compatible. Ever since 1.3x and the major updates to forge a lot of mods are in a new state of re-development that is taking a long time.

    Are you starting from a fresh install?
    Are you putting the files into the minecraft.jar?
    Are you deleting the META-INF?

    When updating forge, it's best to use a fresh install.

    Post any logs, especially ForgeModLoader-client-0 to http://pastebin.com/ and i'll take a look for you. I'm in helper mode tonight

    With Optifine? That's weird. I've never seen anything like that. Are you sure you're using the latest version from the MCforums thread?

    I can't see why it would be man. I honestly have no idea what to tell you. The Jenkins site and the forge site are both pretty open and i've never had the issue you described. I've never had to create an account there either. I wish I could help more.

    If you have any other questions regarding the installation of mods or forge, I'm happy to help. I'm by no means an expert, but I do spend a lot of time playing with these mods and keep pretty up-to-date on whats going on with their development.
