It would make reading the patch notes much easier if the Table of Contents was linked to the appropriate sections - so instead of scrolling through the entire (and this time very lengthy) note sections, one could simply click on the links to information in which one was interested.

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerI actually used to do this years ago and stopped since it was a little time consuming, and wasn't sure if anyone actually clicked on them. I can add them back in for each category if everyone would find it helpful.25 -

✭✭✭✭✭Thanks for the reply! "Everyone" might be a stretch - might only be me after all. Since I still have my website design and management business (much reduced - to only clients who pay me on time!) it's something I'm used to providing when their sites need it. And of course, I'm not nearly as busy/time-pressed as you people are!0 -
Mr_DragonSoullSoul ShrivenI too would find it useful

Hello Gina,
It is not working, probably while inserting links, the default"http://"
was left at the end of the link.
It is on all links.
Example:https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/6921078/#Comment_6921078http://
It not erroring out, but it will not lead to "Comment_6921078", or any other comment that is linked.
@ZOS_GinaBruno
Also, I loled a bit for those who "found it useful" but not noticing it is not working

catnamedwill✭✭✭Also a section specifically mentioning any change from the final PTS patch notes to the live update patch notes would be very helpful.0

It is not.
The first "STONETHORN DLC" section link is working because is set properly, the rest are with "http" at the end, and are returning to top of the document.0 -

✭✭Or use text for each section title instead of image banners, if that's easier for you, Gina. Then, people could at least Ctrl+F.[PC/NA] @silvereyes | My Addons on ESOUI.com0 -
LadySilvie✭✭As a tech writer who writes release notes for software professionally (with a focus on usability), this thread made me happy.
Descriptive patch notes (especially ones with humor!) and a writer open to usability suggestions are so underappreciated. So many games and programs don't bother. That is one thing I appreciate about ESO as a new player. Thank you
Meanwhile, as I attempt again to figure out what exactly changed on my Switch with the latest update...
