The VG Resource

All fixed!

I just noticed that my submitter name is stuck as the older version on tMR and tTR, even though it's been automatically changed on tSR and TSoR. I tried changing it on each specific site, but it still won't go through. Can't figure out what the problem is, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to bring it up here.

In order to look into this, I need to understand what your goal is first. I see ShadeDBZ set as your submitter name on your profile (this field is shared between all four sites) which should be auto-suggested for your new submissions. If that's what you're going for, there shouldn't be anything else to do. If, however, you're trying to update your name on your existing submissions on tMR and tTR using that form, you're actually seeing the result that you should be. That field only affects what is auto-populated for new submissions - renaming and merging of submitters is limited to admins so people can't arbitrarily "steal" someone else's sheet. If this is what you're trying to accomplish, let me know your old name and the new name you're trying to change it to (I assume ShadeDBZ?) and I'll merge them for you.

Section icon is actually from the sequel game, here is a screenshot from the right game.

I'm actually referring to more recent submissions.

Here's an example that I submitted yesterday: http://www.textures-resource.com/ds/mari...ture/5576/

While my submitter name was changed from "SHADEDBZ" to "ShadeDBZ" a while back, tTR (and I'm assuming tMR) doesn't seem to recognize the change. It's worth noting that Sprites and Sounds switched all my submissions over to the new name with no issue, even older submissions from before I changed the name.

Ah, okay. I see the problem. I believe it treats the two as the same value so trying to update results in no change. I'm not sure how it was updated on tSR and tSoR (maybe it was changed to something else and then back?) but I can take care of this manually now. Hold on and I'll take a look.

Edit:
There you go. I'm still not sure how the other two sites updated unless someone did it for you though.

Here's a few oddities I've discovered recently. Minor, though I'm mostly bringing them up for consistency reasons.

*On the Spriter's Resource, the game "Quest of Ki" (the better-looking title IMO) is called "Ki no Bouken - The Quest of Ki" on the Sounds Resource, additionally they both have two different screenshots.

*On The Spriter's Resource, we have the two games in the Smart Ball/Jelly Boy series, which i think could use a rename:
http://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/sm...ljerryboy/ -> Smart Ball / Jelly Boy
http://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/jellyboy2/ Smart Ball 2 / Jelly Boy 2

Fixed everything except the "Jelly Boy 2" title, for I'm not exactly sure how to handle that. It was never officially named "Smart Ball 2", but it would definitely be more organized as such. I'd rather someone else decide on that.

If someone did so, I wasn't aware of it.

I checked the logs and didn't see a rename involving your name. Is it possible you changed it before submitting your first models/textures?

Edit:
This seems unlikely as you have more submissions than there are log entries. This implies that you never submitted anything to those two sites with the all caps name. Does that sounds possible?

@Shade
If that's the case, I'm fine with leaving the sequel's title "Jelly Boy 2", though thanks for fixing the first game's title.

Also, another error.
http://www.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/lamulana/
This game should be in the "Other Systems" section as it is not a PC title, but rather a MSX title.

Changed. I also added MSX to the title to tell what system it's for like we do other things.

Nope! La-Mulana is in fact a PC game, I've got it sitting on my hard drive from when I tried to play it earlier (and failed miserably).

Reverting the change.

I feel like I surely submitted some textures under that name, but it's certainly possible.

Isn't this a sprite collection and not a texture?

Yeah, it is. Wonder why it wasn't moved yet.
Also, sometimes an 'Unknown Location' link in the 'Who's Online' list takes
me to a 404 page.
