One stat addition suggestion

I love the site and am sorry to see less activity than could be hoped for.
One suggestion: Could you add a stat for recording how many hours a particular character has been played (as reported by the savegame)? I'm thinking just hours is sufficient; there's probably no reason to list hours, minutes, and seconds.

That's a good suggestion. Where in the character profiles do you think it should be shown? In the "Information" tab, in the "Secondary Statistics" page, or somewhere else? Just want to hear your opinion on where it should go.

And with regard to lesser activity, it is a shame because I do think a lot of Oblivion fans could enjoy this website, but they just do not know it exists yet. Hopefully with the release of TESV, we will launch a new branch of The Elder Stats for TESV characters, and maybe that will bring in some more new activity. :)

Good question! I'm thinking it would best fit with the Level, Class, Gold, and other stats that typically display on the left hand side of the screen while viewing a character's profile. Probably between Level and Gold.
If it's necessary to make room, perhaps the "Creator :" could be moved somewhere else on the screen?

EDIT: Since a lot of the older charcters won't have this stat reported, it'd probably be a good idea for a 0 value to show up as "not reported"!

I've finished adding this new stat and it now displays on the sidebar of character profiles. Please let me know what you think. :)

Looks great, thanks! Now my only request is that it be an option for viewing on the Leaderboards too. :)

Good point. That's now been done, also.
