When you open the main forum page, take a look at the links to forum sections. All of them have hardcoded "en". This should dynamically change based on your language preference, so in my case "en-gb".
This worked until recently.
I have to point out that the bar with dev tracker has the links in correct "format", but the pages that open when you click on any of these are broken again.
Don't you think this should be automatic?ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Staff and dev replies are manually flagged for the Dev Tracker, so this is working as intended - each person chooses which replies appear.
These posts more often than not have extremely valuable information in them.
AFAIK vanilla can't tell the difference between a moderator (be good guys!) post and a community manager/dev post... so then the dev tracker would be full of "We're reviewing this thread..." and random meme's from Gina on patch note days.
Reason I'm pretty sure it's that way is that folks have previously requested that the "Z" shouldn't show up beside thread names when it's just a moderator post, and I'm sure the reasoning that can't happen is because it can't tell the difference.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -

The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

- The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
- Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
- Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
- Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
- Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
- Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
- And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

You actually get more "stars" from comments than new threads. I think you also might be presuming that people actually care about forum stars. If someone doesn't want to read a thread, then they should just not read it. Sometimes, life is only as hard as you make it.
You make it impossible not to read your post, @DoctorESO. If you don’t care about stars why are you spamming? And why do you make like 12 threads in a week?
Trust me, I would love to block you and never see your posts.Edited by OutLaw_Nynx on January 25, 2018 1:47PM7 -
Octopuss✭✭✭✭✭Any stars, post count, likes and similar should be removed. Then people wouldn't posthunt or something.
I don't fully understand what the problem being discussed is though.1 -
WIZZARD2K✭✭✭It's a hit and miss really. Sometimes it indeed does, and quite often it doesn't.
And when it does, the damn horizontal links bar covers the upper part of the post. I'm just like WTF?! every time I have to use the forums.
I've noticed that it jumps to the correct anchor # on the comment, but then the top nav bar loads on top, always covering the post, unless we're at the bottom already. The solution would be to hide the nav bar upon loading a page accessed by an anchor, and load it as soon as the user starts scrolling.0 -

I have a suggestion: remove the stars. ZOS crew knows anyway who, what and how much - and how useful the content you post is for the community.
@DoctorESO, you stopped creating new threads, but instead you wrote around 100 comments in the past 24h. Are you a bot or something? Because for me it's not possible to eat, sleep, do chores, play ESO and write 100 comments on the forum within one day. You keep pushing important threads into oblivion, and you clog my Notifications with 5 or more meaningless comments in one topic, also pushing the other discussions I "pinned" down. If you don't care about the stars, why do you keep writing clusters of 3 comments one after another? Can't you find the "Edit" button? It's in top right corner, you know.
Stop it. Unglue your eyes from the monitor, go spend some quality time with your family/friends/dog/cat/boat, or go and spam on Facebook or Reddit, if you must. Just stop polluting this forum with your excretions.⊂(￣(工)￣)⊃ Don't-Care-Bear ⊂(￣(工)￣)⊃PC EU "House Tertia" - Friendly Guild for Mature Folks (housetertia.com)

✭✭I'll just put this out there...
The moderation on these forums and the content on them is actually pretty good compared to many other games... and compared to some (cough *bungie* cough) it's downright amazing.
The only issue I have is how they will remove snarky posts that were funny. They will trim humorous stuff if someone could possibly in some way be the butt of the joke.
Trust me, I've had more posts *disappear* with the assorted insightful/agree/awesome's than anyone. I'll admit that in many cases I crossed the line, for sure.
At least they tolerate my usually snarky or potentially insulting comments or vague accusations instead of warning me and temp banning me now.
I think they show a fair deal of fairness in general...
As for content on these forums, you might want to take a look at some other forums to compare. These are actually quite good and usually have some good informative posts.
Keep that in mind if you disagree with someone here. This is a decent community. There are some bad seeds (I'm probably one of them at times), but it's really quite civil for the internet.

Didn't pay much attention to the dates, did you. This thread got plenty of use in January and February, and a little in March. Far from being a necro, since we are complaining about problems that are old and on-going, it's this thread's longevity and continuity that makes it useful.PC NA, PC EU
