When I clicked on a modpack I was shown a list of all the mods that were in it.
Why, why on earth, would you remove that functionality?
Of course you can see the mod list at the client, but that was a important hub to check mods, mod versions and mod webpages.

That version chooser was much much nicer and compact that the new "files" tab.

The images tab and the comments functionality would sound like a good idea, but they are not. They will always be irrelevant, not interesting and something that almost no-one will ever checkout.

From the outside it looks like it is a try to implement some king of database integrations / upgrade with features that fit to stuff like git and not the modpacks.

edit: and the change log, where did that go?

As an active supported I also must give some feedback.

Please, re-add modlist with versions for every pack version like there was when changelogs were hosted in atlassian. It makes troubleshooting(e.g. identifying server version by mod version) easier. Currently helpers need to install pack or download pack.zip to check mod versions which requires time and resources. Or is this feature already in Curse's TODO/WIP list?

Changelogs: Probably will be migrated later? (any comments anyone who write those or migrates info?) While giving feedback is it possible to get combined changlog which concatenates all changelog in the one view? This probably should be asked from curse instead FTB.

From the outside it looks like it is a try to implement some king of database integrations / upgrade with features that fit to stuff like git and not the modpacks.
It looks like curse forge :p I also think there is too many bells and whistkes in the page like download button which by default downloads zip which has no use.


Edit:
Ps. And now real life use case for my modlist rant: I know this particular crash is caused by potato machine and cofhcore => "Is there cofhcore in Mage Quest?"

I have found that the Change Log links from the news posts are broken. I was looking for the change log for the Departed 1.3.0 release.

This is the news post that I was following: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/ftb-news-september-27th-2015.122436/
This is where the change log link for departed sent me: http://www.feed-the-beast.com/modpacks/FTBDeparted/changelog/130

The page came up with your "Not Found" custom page saying "Well, that was unexpected..."

I chatted with IoP on the espernet feed. It was suggested I check the modpack page: http://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-departed

I had to drill down to the file download page, but even there it says "No changelog provided.": http://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-departed/files/2259608

Next rant:
Server files: People have problems to find server files from website. Once again something curse need to fix.

Partially fixed by removing misleading download button from pack info page

Where did all of these features go?
- Modpack Version.
- Mod list for Modpacks.
- Mod version.
- Mod Author.
- Change Log History.

The FTB site used to be so easy to use a while ago, why were all of these features removed? They were a great help. If I discovered FTB on this day I would not download the launcher because there's no info on the modpacks.

ATLauncher has these features.
