Are you using Comfy? If so, in version 1.1.1, you need to specify the full path to the file along with the folder, depending on where you saved it. <lora:cool_artist:0.9> -> <lora:my_artists/cool_artist:0.9>. I hope to fix this in the next version.
It should work perfectly for Forge. Could you double-check the spelling of Lora? Could you also send me the name Lora?
I'm interested in the special characters in the name. You can replace the words themselves with others if they discredit you in any way. <lora:[Artist]Niche Artist's Style:1> -> <lora:[Word]Word's Style:1>, but [, ], \, `, etc. should be left as is.
You can also try renaming the Lora file itself to something simpler.
