[edit] Suggestions

i think it would be a good idea for there to be a page for suggested things at each level and by that i mean "if you were at level 3 you can do these things" and then have a list of suggested things to do at that level --Feartheflame 17:53, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

This would lead to a large amount of subjectivity as people add their own favorite ideas. We already have Quest Timing for a brief overview and I don't think there's much more to be added. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:52, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

i realize this but it would only be suggestions...everybody could add what they think would be useful to do at that level while still letting the player do there own thing Feartheflame 23:57, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Such a page would quickly get out of hand as everybody would add their own favorite quest order and delete everybody else's. We have enough opinion pages on the site without creating another one. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 01:03, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Site quality

I would just like to comment on the excellent quality of this site. Compared with many gaming sites and other wikis this site is of a first rate quality. Well done everyone who has contributed.

Agreed, this wiki rocks :). Thanks to you all.

There's no better site for The Elder Scrolls in my opinion. One thing though as anyone else noticed the site is slow to load? I don't think it's my connection, everything else is running fine (youtube, nexopia, facebook ect.). Has anyone else noticed that? - Road Virus

[edit] Featured Article

The "Current Featured Article" has been Oblivion:Traps for nearly a month, i don't know if it's changed monthly or just whenever someone feels it needs to be changed, but maybe it should be changed again? ArtemisTheModder 10:37, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

It gets changed every six months or so, since the administrators tend to have a lot of other stuff going on, and very few articles get nominated/voted on anyways. Currently, only one other article is close to obtaining featured status, and it needs more votes. You can read more about it here: UESPWiki:Featured Articles.--Ratwar 11:23, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Bethsoft DNS Problems

[edit] WHY

sorry but i do not know where to put these i recently said that a filled grand soul gem could be easily found at the acrane university it was deleted why ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.229.54.134 (talk • contribs).}

You put it in a page called The Hardest Difficulty Strategy Guide where it is not relevant [1]. Since there's no quest that requires a filled soulgem it's difficult to see where it could be relevant. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 08:33, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Search from browser

For some reason, when I try to add this page's search feature to Firefox's search bar, it says "Firefox could not download the search plugin for uesp.net". I don't know if a Firefox search plugin has been created or if there is one that's simply not working, but I'd really like to be able to search this fine website from my browser. I don't have any clue as to how to go about accomplishing this, thus I suggest that someone that does, do so. O0Jelly0o 01:09, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

I don't know about adding it to Firefox's search bar, but if you're using the Google toolbar, you can right-click on the search-box and select "Generate Custom Search...". This will add a UESP search button to your Google toolbar so that you can simply type your search terms into the Google toolbar and click the UESP button to search UESP. --GuildKnight^Talk2me 21:03, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Bethesda

Does anyone know how i could contact the afore mentioned Bethesda? Thanks to all. Jesus lover 17:14, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

Check their website. Most corporate websites have a Contact section where you can (surprisingly) contact them. --Saruuk 11:30, 29 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] oblivion mis-spelling.

has anyone noticed in 'oblivion random world: 2' that one of the surrounding towers labeled 'tornado' has its corresponding gate spelled 'tordando'?

also, in the tornado tower, the lever to open said 'tordando' gate is also mis-labeled in that it says that it opens the 'hurricane' gate.

just something i noticed today, and i was wondering if anyone else had.

you guys are so thorough here at UESP, that i was surprised that you hadn't mentioned it.

that is all. :)

[edit] Site Changes

Just so I know, is a new format/style of this site being played around with? I'm getting white background and different logos and I just wondered if it was something that the site admin are working on, or if there's something odd going on with my cookies? ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.127.79.8 (talk • contribs) on 11 August 2008.}

As you've probably noticed, the site isn't performing very well right now. There's an upgrade in progress and some features of the site aren't working correctly, including the skins. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:28, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

This was all due to an 'user error' during the upgrade process (by myself). It may take a day or two for the site to settle back to normal while I figure out exactly what I did wrong (and try not to do it again). Ahhh...the wonders of testing everything on a live server. -- Daveh 15:53, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

Well, so long as I know it isn't only me, all's good. Just, could you post a note on the main page, or here on the talk page next time? 67.60.187.161 16:03, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

I agree Zulu 01:04, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

The reason I (and I imagine my fellow admins) didn't post a news article was that it would have required editing three pages on an already slow server to post a note that most people wouldn't have been able to read anyway. I think you can assume in future that if the site is acting weird, we already know about it. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 01:24, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Difficulty and Followers
