New Subforum: The Elder Scrolls Online

Post by Avron the S'wit »

Come one and come all! We now have a subforum dedicated to discussion about the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online! In the days to come this subforum will be full of our discussions about the development, lore, and soon to be experience in the online game.

As with all subforums, please remember to be respectful and adhere to forum rules. If you have any ideas about the subforum or what else you would like to see here on the forum, please let us know in our ideas and questions thread. Otherwise, feel free to contribute right away!

Thank you, and let's have fun! :D
Huzzah!

This is most pleasing news, thank you kindly. I just have one question, will some, if not al, of the existing ESO threads from the TES General Forum be moved to the new Forum? Also, along the same vein, what's the status on the question over whether the TES General Forum will become a 'counted' Forum. The poll did end almost a month and a half ago and even if it's something as simple as "We're still looking into it/discussing it," it'd be nice to have some word on the matter from the Mod Team.

On previous MMO threads: Yes. I just have to sit down, find them, and move them. If you guys could use the report function to help flag them, that would also help.

On TES General: That is an admin issue, not a moderator one, but I am going to add post counts today. I did say to give me a day or two since I only got back Sunday, but don't worry...I didn't forget. It's on my checklist! (Which is available on my wiki page - see the link in my profile here. How convenient!)

Thanks for the prompt reply, I shall do just that if it will help, although some may not be worth continuing (I'll leave that for you guys to decide). In terms of the TES General Forum, no stress. As always, just seeking clarification for those of us who aren't in the know, as I know I'm not the only one who has been wondering what's happened.

Avron, what will happen if we, hopefully, get to the point where there's an ES 6 Forum. Will the Index Page not get too large?

I don't know if index page size is an issue right now, or if it will be in the future. I haven't really ever heard any gripes about it. I'm sure that if a majority of the forum found it to such a point where they couldn't navigate around, we can easily change it up, but I think the layout is pretty clean and straightforward. Let's worry about that when we get there!

Lore, TES General and the 'Other' TES Games, perhaps even Elder Scrolls Online, could perhaps be merged into a single Category, but I agree with Avron, it's not too much of an issue to scroll down a little more, although we should certainly consider users who use moblie devices like phones, ipods and PSPs.

I use my phone quite a bit for browsing and I don't really have an issue with scrolling. Plus I have Favorites assigned to all of the forums I frequent.

Mobile traffic isn't really up to a point that it's super substantial, although I believe that point is rising. Most sites are seeing an increase in traffic from phones regardless, and tablets make it easier to browse away from your desk.

However, let's put it on hold just now. We can always clean up the index a little but I find it pretty efficient and would like more feedback before we say it's cluttered. ;)

I'm on mobile 50% of the time I'm here. And I've had no issues.

To reiterate, at least in my view, there is no reason to believe that it is, or will be, an issue; however I know almost for a fact that the question was asked bearing such mobile devices in mind. Our dear POMC frequently frequents the Forums on his PSP, or so I am led to believe :P

The PSP browser is just really really really bad. I recommend POMC to get a smartphone instead. I've been using the PSP browser for a looong time, then I got an Android and the UESP forums work just fine here.

Create another topic guys, if this is still an issue.

Now that we've had it a month I want to say I really like the new sub-forum.
