Need help Forge refuse to load within Modpack

[redmage21]

I am trying to a use a modpack with 1.7.1 and forge 1230. I download forge universal 1230 extract the files and then proceed to add to archive while naming it "Crackhead.jar".

I then proceed to place it in the bin folder as instructed. I then place my configs in the config folder and drop my client mods in the mods folder. I name the folder that this all contain in "Crackhead" and proceed to se best quality to compress into a .zip file. What am I doing wrong? Is there some kind of naming convention or step I have missed?

To clarify once you download the pack into the launcher it starts as Vanilla.

A couple corrections:

• The Forge universal binary JAR file should be downloaded and renamed to "modpack.jar". Nothing more, nothing less. Don't extract it or modify it in any way. It belongs in the /bin/ folder.
• The required folders (/bin/, /config/, /mods/) must be at the top level of the folder structure inside the modpack archive. Do not put them in a subfolder.

Yup, figured this out a second ago was messing around with Vanilla in your launcher!

And now the entire folder directory is empty.... this is ridiculous.

Please provide the link to your modpack page.

Most problems can be solved by calm, logic, and a bit of thinking.  As plowman said get us a link to the mod pack and if you have logs, make sure they have no personal information in them, then use pastebin.
