Can we maybe consider removing smileys altogether or at least partially? I really don't see what they're good for except for being oftentimes abused through immature posting. To have some hilarity, you can easily get along with common emotes and it looks better that way and it won't be abused so often. Clicking a smiley 10 times is a lot more inveigling than writing ":D" or ":3" ten times.

But do they really have a use? You almost always get along without them if you post properly. Would it hurt to remove them or to remove those that have nearly only immature use, e.g. "mad" and "evil"?

I think we need emoticons that fit the theme of the forums. :mrgreen: isn't even a mario brother.

Yeah, like how MFGG has Mario emoticons. Pretty sure the ones we have now are just the default ones.

There used to be a battle levels forum, but then the levels forum got redesigned.

Yeah I thought I had seen a battle level forum before...

[The Dwarven Digger]

It probably would be better if we could have a :mario: or a :luigi:.
In fact, you could use them to show which characters are suitable / playable for a particular episode or level.
Why not have smilies, or even just images that you can easily add to a post.
(Or a progress bar...)
That way, you could have an easy way of showing some basic details about a project, episode, level or even contest.
Also, I'd like to see something like this on the website, if possible. I'm not saying that it MUST BE ADDED NOW, just that I think it's a really good idea for some time in the future.

I would upvote that post if we had a way to like posts. ^^

Merged the "Battle level forum" thread with the Site Discussion thread, as it pertains to the forum and the Levels forum is for SMBX levels only.

[MacDuckBeat]

Well I have a few questions with archieved forum and misc. questions.

1. What are Casual Levels ?
2. Can I post battle levels in the new level subforum ? (Not the archieved one)
3. How many levels I would post in the level subforum ? Why can't I post more than 1 level ?
4. What's with flash BBCode ?
5. Since SMBX.org subforum has got archieved, what's up with the next update ?

[Cedur]

1) Casual levels were levels made "just for fun" and they didn't need an official judging (they weren't moved to any subcategory).
2) You post battle levels like normal levels, just tag them as a battle level.
3) You have one collection thread just for yourself where you put all levels you make.
4) I don't know what you mean, but I hope it's nothing that can cause seizure.
5) Noone knows when will we see something like revamped featured episodes/graphics or even a separate level/episode portal according to Snessy's idea (which got a lot of agreement), if that's what you mean.

There have been several misconceptions as of late among community members regarding the permission of 38-A (SMBX 1.4.x) content on the forums, most noticeably the act of posting levels. So as to make this topic a little bit clearer, any content made on, and for that engine are in fact allowed. Of course, graphics and episodes aren't exceptions. Neither are questions specific to that engine.

But please keep in mind that when posting 38-A stuff (except for levels) you should specify it is for that engine, and not 2.0, or 1.3.0.x. This is not a rule, however, it will help the readers identify where is your content supposed to be running on and how to help you. There have been cases of people asking for help on 38-A that are answered with solutions plausible to 2.0 using LunaLua, and this is a means to prevent confusion.

I see. So, this is a new rule then?

Sorry, used the wrong word there.

I just modified the YouTube profile field so it should now link properly to your channel. Let me know if it doesn't work.
