One of the nicest features of the Star Wars: Galaxies forums I liked was something called "Dev Tracker". It was a single click on the main forum page that searched for all posts by ALL devs.
Something like that would be very nice here since I always see a lot of posts saying, "Hey I didn't see where Char said this," or, "Hey, where did Philip say that?"
Have a single-click search called "Linden Logs" or "Linden Tracker" or something else more witty.
In times like this, too, when SL has been down all day, it's easy to find out where they posting, since it's hard to search every post for a response from a Linden.

Oh, and before someone points out to me that I can enter "Linden" in the user search, that doesn't create links to their indvidual replies, just to the threads in which they have responded.

It's a little complicated, but in the search form, do the following: 1) Enter "Linden" for the search name 2) Make sure that "exact name" is unchecked 3) Make sure you're searching in all open forums 4) Switch "show results as" from "topics" to "posts"
There sure are a lot of Lindens.

Thanks Carnildo, that effectively gives me what I'm looking for, but like you said, a little on the complicated side. The SWG forum "Dev Tracker" was I believe this exact search only simplified into one click.

Yeah. Oh dang Aaron, I just realized I gave you a link that expired, that would have shown what Carnildo was pointing out. A single link would be sweet alright -- or even aggregate it into a blogfeed or SOMETHING.
