An example how I mean this is as follows, although this deals about RM2k (the forum's purpose is similar to SMW's ones, except the editor of course):
http://rpg2k.foren.4players.de/viewtopic.php?t=44159 (German )

In this thread we also could include recommendations for the "optimal" thread setup (dunno know if this would make sense and avoiding senseless threads ), like

for demo threads:
- Name of the hack, status (approxiamately, of course it is not possible to set the exact status when everything will be finished etc,)
- screens in .JPG or PNG
- if custom blocks, ASM hacks etc. got used, it should be mentioned. Of course this does not mean, you'd have to include EVERY single custom block you used, but a nice pharase like "The hack contains custom blocks from the Block Inserter tool" or "There are some neat ASM hacks here, added a boss life bar" or othere might be
1.) fitting far better and
2.) be a better guideline, to avoid threads like "my hack" titles and "I'll post screenshots in two weeks" in the first post

There's NO WAY IN HELL I'm allowing JPG screens, but otherwise I'm with you on this.

Hey, dunno if I should put this here, but for the love of god, not everyone's browser reads txt as an image, so get a real host. There's more than enough free hosts that allow image linking. Find one and go there instead of this txt crap.

Nice addition.


Why not accept GIF screenshots? Jeez. I can make a 512 color GIF for example, although wether or not it displays correctly is another story, but still.

And for the love of God STOP USING TXT EXTENSIONS

Especially when you link to an image. I HATE having to save it, rename it, and then open it again.

It's a pain in the ass, thanks.
