Without actually specifically setting out to do so, I've just spent the best part of half an hour opening every thread in this forum (well, every thread for the first six or so pages), in order to frantically scroll through them all with the intention of finding posts made by Bethesda's staff. BioWare's forums tell you which threads staff members have posted in (although I haven't been in the BioWare forums since the hype machine was building before the relatively disappointing Mass Effect 1), and I think that this would be a great feature for the forums, as we would quickly be able to see which threads the staff have posted in.

I don't even care that they're not telling us anything about the game at this point. I'm perfectly happy to read their torturous, off-topic posts as they try to wind us up by telling us a load of nonsense that has nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Heck, I'd stare bewitched at the screen for hours on end if all they were posting was their shopping lists.

Who's with me? Do you want to be able to at-a-glance see which threads Bethesda's staff have been posting in, even if you know that they're just posting random guff in order to confuse and/or annoy us?

You know, when you are viewing the forum and looking at all the topic titles, if you click on the number of replies next to "Replies", it gives you a list of who has posted in that topic. Thought I would pop in and save you some time in the future.

[Lynne Hinton]

Absolutely. :intergalactic:

[Mrs. Patton]

Isnt it possible to go into their profile and see their last 10 posts? Or searching upon them as the author in the search thing, making all posts made by them (hopefully chronologically) be seen... I think that should work. No need implementing staff-stalking-stuff into the forums.

Heh, I remember we had this with Morrowind and Oblivion. I don't know if their opinions on mudcrabs and calipers are worth saving, but anything related to the game definitely is. Its fun to look back on a few years later.

[T. tacks Rims]

Yes. This feature on other forums makes it that much nore easy to find reliable information (or at least some humor) in a pool of rumors and duplicate threads. It would definitely be welomed with open arms. And I′m sure it′s not too hard to create a working version of this that works with IP.Board. IP.Board seems like a nice platform for customization like this, based on previous experiences with it.

But this is surely not the right category for this kind of thread. If you post in the relevant category it is much more likely it′ll get noticed.

I actually like that Idea but I don't know if IPB can handle something like that. I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.

In the past for Fallout:3 and for FO:NV we had a "meet the devs" thread in which the devs would answer questions about themselves or just chime in to chat with us. It was quite a popular thread and maybe we can institute it here as well. I'll ask.

Generally when I want to find devs posts I click on their username and search for their posts. They are all under a NDA so they can't answer questions about the game very often unless it's info that is already out there officially.

Hmm... "LMPOW". What could this mean? Unless he means "LMPOJW" of course: the Juice is capitalized as well! Let's see... Perhaps the last part is "Prisoner of War", signifying the starting position of the player... the LM would then be... a Lumen! Perhaps he meant "lm POW!" saying that the light in this game will be overwhelming: perhaps one of the additions to the new engine?

:P

This is helpful- I wasn't aware of that- although it would still be a royal apin to have to click each thread individually and then wait the two seconds or so for the little box to pop up. Yes, I'm that impatient.

summer, do whatever you can!

socrates200X: Perhaps you could tide us over by exclusively revealing what the BGS staff are having for their lunch. The fans demand to know!

Yeah, I lurk extensively and when the boards are slow, I click on things that look like links, and sure enough that little number showing how many replies a topic has caught my attention.

GOT MILK!

Got spam?

[M!KkI]

It would be nice, I love to read developer posts. I know that Bioware and Bungie has these kind of signs.

The game's been announced, we can stop the wild speculation

Aye, then the fans could by the same foods and devine whether or not fast travel is in the game, or if the player can conjure a dragon :mage:

I did enjoy the meet the devs threads, and also think that those little thread markers like Bioware's would be nice

You mean start, right? Surely you mean start.
