i'm sure this has been done before but here goes.....
you know you can have a signature to your posts right? the bit that appears below this post.... that is my signature.
how useful would it be if everyone posting had a signature that listed their region and platform as a minimum.
that way if you have a problem or a question people will be better able to offer answers and help.
to create a signature.... go to your forum account, click 'edit profile', click 'signature settings', click in the big white box and type in the stuff you want to show as your signature... again how about server and platform as a bare minimum? then click save. job done..... congratulations you now have an informative signature. idk how you do this with a console but i imagine it would be similar.

Willard✭✭✭Good idea...I play on both PC NA and PS4 NA and each has their own set of issues unique to the platform and ones that are shared. So will still need to specify in posts which I am discussing:)0 -

Anyone who would, would also be aware of the fact that it would be helpful to mention this if asking a pertaining question.
So while the sentiment in general is good, it is in vain because you never reach the people who would need the advice in the first place.
Perhaps if it's added to a helpful sticky post. Never hurts to try for sure.Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. ~ Terry Pratchett0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've referenced what platform I play on in the past. As for the rest, they will be mentioned if relevant to a topic.

^Yep, that. Most of the time, platform isn't relevant to the discussion, so it's just useless clutter.DigitalShibby wrote: »

Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah but this should be part of the forum setup when posting on a thread. Other forums do this to keep context of discussions.

✭✭✭✭✭I don't think it's necessary to have such information in your signature, and I prefer not to be bothered with people's signatures. There are too many players who think their one line post is less important on a forum than showing off their entire character roster and other life history or philosophy.
It only takes a modicum of commonsense to realise that if you're posting about performance or other technical issues, for example, it would help others to help you if you just happen to mention which platform and server you're on. If you don't, everyone else should move on to the next topic.1 -

Also, I'm feeling pretty flattered after reading yours xDJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm on a phone and can see signatures.
Because I'm on a phone the screen usually cuts off avatars and names, I actually recognize most people by their signature rather than actually user name0
