Thanks for the useful links!

It's difficult to decide which I like better: Eldarth's search link - but it shows *ALL* the Devs (I don't bother following STO any more) - and the 'Uncensored Blog" version is painfully sluggish and the sorting is all screwed-up because if anyone comments in a DevThread it bumps it to the top, even if it's two years old.

Workable for now, hoping the ARC Devs can get an official DevTracker online soon™ (though I do know better than to hold my breath on that).

Since the last update the sorting should only be affected by edits, not by the newest posting. This was a forum limitation, but we're using the API now.

Could you specify 'sluggish' and/or suggest improvements? Loading times are not great because the script fetches the current avatars for each dev. We might store that in our DB at some point as well, but that's low priority and will not happen before the Ratings Calculator is updated with Mod 7 stuff.

Thanks for posting the link. Using the search is indeed the easiest solution. They also mentioned on Reddit that the official version will be reinstated soon.

...and if anyone knows any Cryptic Neverwinter Devs I missed post their handle here and I'll update the link.

Thanks! (Note: I removed @strumslinger since he's our CM and expected to be posting)

Oh, great to hear you're using the API! By :sluggish" I'm mostly referring to the initial page load. I don't mind it because I understand it needs to dig into the forums to construct the page it shows me in a dynamic way. So, to be fair, "sluggish' isn;t the right word (and actually a lot stronger-meaning than I intend). I better way to put it would be: "slow-to-load as compared to native forum search".

EDIT: Just took another look: HOLYCRAPPOLA. LOL You must've implemented that API access right around the same time I made my original comment in this thread because just before I made it I peeked and it was the old style.

The *new* style is awesome!

@Everyone - I must say the 'Uncensored" version of DevTracker is definitely better than the "Forums Search" version now. Go there if you haven't looked, yet - and bookmark it: http://www.nwo-uncensored.com/devtracker.php

It's still quite slow to load for me -- and seems way more than 50% of the posts are from @strumslinger (not a developer)

Indeed. You guys asked for more communication from the developers and you're getting it.

Yeah - I want Strumslinger in the DevTracker (and CMs were always in the DevTracker) - it should be called "StaffTracker - because even when Andy speaks - it's official (which is why he has to using so much spin in a lot of his comments LOL)

Okay, room for everyone -- Links for Dev Tracker, and Staff Tracker. Anyone have any staff/devs they want added, feel free to list and I'll add them to the links.

beckylunatic · July 2015

You should move Yetweallfalldown from dev to staff. He's a CM like Strumslinger. I'm pretty sure that's also Laughingtrendy's role.

I personally reallly love Joshi's dev tracker. nice and simple. Will keep using it till it doesnt work. Plus I see it on twitter since im following him.
