Guide is Complete! enjoy everyone!! :D
Looks really nice. I glanced over it a couple of times and I don't see anything really really wrong. I'll take a look at it several more times just to make sure.I guess the only thing I could suggest is to not have "by Unknown Problem" on their twice. That is a suggestion though. :P
i'll remove the bottom one, as it is a little redundant. just glad it looks good :D stayed up waaay too late to finish it before sleeping
Annnnd I've moved this over to article format as well. Again, great work - nothing really had to be fixed at all. I did remove the in-table colors as articles should have the standard font color (different users using non-dark skins are unable to see the text the same way) -- [this is fine in non-article guides]. It's unfortunate that the topic is automatically edited to match the article, as you do lose some basic things, but nothing major at all.Again, great job. :)
Thank you very much! I'm really honored to see my work being put good use. Aside the gigantic collabortative glitch guide you mentioned, is there anything else I could work on?
No Skyrim guides come to mind right away, but I'm sure I can think of something.

    [*]You can write funny/informative articles based on things in Skyrim.
    [*]Guides in other games, such as Fallout.
    [/list]
Not to sound braindead, but could you toss out an example for the funny/informative article?Also, As far as Fallout guides, i'd probably get addicted and it would be ridiculous xD
A good general format for an article in general is....

    [*]Take some common term or concept people google a lot or are interested in, such as Ulfric Stormcloak
    [*]Put some controversial slant on it, e.g. saying Ulfric is a Thalmor Spy.
    [*]Back up your claims.
    [/list]
That sounds quite interesting xDI have a guide or two up in my head, mostly Fallout guides maybe some other misc. guides
I've never seen a guide like this before and I think it will be helpful for me in the future. Good job all around Unknown probLem.
Thank you very much, I wish you could see all the code and such that went into this. *sigh* looong night. If you want, you could check out what I have so far on my Daedric Artifact guide, and my Alchemy guide. I take pride in them and they tend to run through several different drafts and such before being "published".From what I've been told, I apparently do a good job with all of them, but If anybody has a new guide or something in mind, I hope that they would PM me or something because I'm going to have a laptop soon and guides are no problem to me.
