Hey guys, so I've been on Minecraft 1.5.2 ever since it came out and I never liked the updates, I personally felt it was ruining the game experience, but I decided to download some mods, namely Buildcraft and Twilight Forest. But you see, the builder in 1.5.2 doesn't work (kind of ruins the name too) and I think its only 1.8+ that its working, so I decided to finally update. But after updating I was not able to install forge! I used the installer but I couldn't get the game to work. Can somebody tell me how to make it work or how to use the Magic launcher? I tried following the instructions in the download page but it doesn't work. When I try loading a mod in Magiclauncher it says "No mod found" even though it displays the mods name?
Not sure how to use Magic Launcher but a normal install should work fine as long as your using the right Forge version, Forge only supports up to 1.8.0 nothing higher as of now. I recommend switching to 1.7.10 as it's the latest version and the one in which BC re-enabled the builders as well as adding in robots. Also 1.7.10 has many more mods available and is much more stable than 1.8. Neither BC or Twilight Forest have updated past 1.7.10 yet, just FYI.
Use the Minecraft profile editor to set your Minecraft version to 1.8.0, then launch the game and quit to download the necessary libraries. Then you can run the Forge installer.

Never mind guys! Finally got it working! I was fiddling around with the files, etc, and I finally snapped and uninstalled everything and later redownloaded minecraft, installed forge and buildcraft and boom it launched and worked! Hip hip hooray!
Thanks for replying guys, its awesome to know that a great community is at my side during a minecraft crisis.

What libraries? Can you give me a link?
