Looking at your sheet uploader brings some suggestions to mind.
The first is to possibly implement a keyword system to assist search results. You know, like tags on a tumblr post. For example, if I were to upload a spritesheet of Kirby's beam ability under the title "Beam Ability", it currently would not show up if someone were to do a search for "Kirby". But if keywords were implemented I could include "Kirby" as a tag to help it pop up.
Secondly, in the upload results page, it would be convenient to be provided the code for posting the sheet w/ icon on the forum. It would certainly speed things up when you are uploading a lot of sheets at once. (As opposed to having to obtain the URL for both the icon and the file and plugging them into the post code one at a time).
Also convenient would be a link on the results page that says "Upload More For This Game", so one does not have to go through the process of picking the console and then the letter and then the game title every time if they are uploading a large number of sheets for a single game.
Finally, there doesn't appear to be any way to alter a pending sheet? Like, what if someone accidentally uploaded the wrong image file, or made an alteration to the sheet within the time period between when they uploaded it and before it was approved.
On a related subject, what is someone supposed to do in the case that they are uploading a sheet that is supposed to be an update to an existing sheet? If there's nothing already in place, maybe we could use a comment field in order to leave suggestions/instructions for the people doing the approvals?
Getting off the subject of subject of the uploader, there does not seem to be an easy way to access your statistics page. You know, this thing. As it stands it seems the only way for me to get to it is to first look up a sheet that I submitted and then click on my name from there. It would be nice to be able to access this from the profile box on the right side of the screen.
(jeez I came here with two suggestions and it just kind of snowballed)
