As in a "My Recently Submitted Sheets" type deal?

Well, yes and no. What i would mainly want is a link to those games in the submit section. Cause 90% of the time that i submit a sheet, its from a game submitted to.
At the same time, if we could see the number of comment on those sheets and press a button view the comments on that screen, it would be really nice.

I think I'm sort of following. You do know you can add sheets to the same game in sequence by just clicking Add Another though, right? That button will save you a ton of clicks navigating back to the same game over and over and will also show you an overview of the sheet you just submitted.

As for the rest of your suggestion, it seems like you're asking for a list of games but then also asking for comments on your sheets so I'm not entirely sure what you want to display here.

I have 2 suggestions that would be pretty cool, if possible:

1) A list of comments on your sheets. I think someone mentioned earlier that it would be difficult/impossible to make notifications, but if you could view a list of comments on your sheets (or see which sheets have recent comments), people could check regularly to see if they have new comments.

2) The ability to modify a sheet before it's been submitted. This would be good in case you accidentally made a mistake like uploading the wrong icon or putting it in the wrong section, and you won't have to wait until your sheet is rejected/accepted. Of course, this might be planned to be added along with sheet editing, in which case you can ignore this.

Here's the issue with doing something like "recent comments on my sheets" - When a sheet is submitted, two pieces of information are recorded in terms of who submitted it. First, the user ID of the forum account but second, and more importantly in terms of how the site displays it, the submitter or submitters. It's easy enough to grab a list of sheets based on the user ID but there is no tie between UID and submitter name/ID making it impossible to get a list of the sheets you submitted. In theory, I could grab whatever you have set as your submitter name, look up the ID associated with it, and use that to pull sheets but that's only as reliable as the name you have entered. You can view all of the comments on the site from a single page though. While not exactly optimal, it is a central location where you can check for recent comments on anything you submitted. You can find that page here and it's at the same location on the other three sites as well.

As for the ability to modify a sheet before it's accepted/rejected, I talked about this with Dazz and we both agreed that this is not something we want to do. Part of the reasoning related to the above - sheets can be "owned", for lack of a better word, by more than one person. That said, the home page of the control panel lists all of your pending sheets so if you notice a mistake, just PM a member of the staff with the correction if you'd like to try to get it fixed before it's approved or rejected.

I don't exactly understand this sentence. A list of my submitted sheets is here, isn't it?

Yes, but that is using a known submitter name. It's a little more complicated when considering a variable (i.e. the currently logged in user). Like I said, I could just grab whatever you have set as your submitter name (or use your username if you don't have one set), and basically do the same thing I'm doing there to pull the sheets. It's just incorporating the comments that makes it a little more difficult (but certainly not impossible).

I'll see if I can work out a way to filter the all comments page to a list of just the comments posted on sheets submitted by the current viewer.

[puggsoy]

Ah, I see now. Well, if it's possible that would be a bonus, but yeah as you said the All Comments page is pretty much sufficient if you check regularly.

Personnally, i dont understand why you can change your submitter name at all. It seem to cause more problems than anything.
The hard fix would be, i guess, to do a sweep of all user and give them a unique id number and associates all their sheets with the current submitter name.

A "Newest Submissions" page.

"New Arrivals and Departures" forum should be easier to find and more noticeable, because many people who sign up(if they post) never go there to make their first post, even I didn't see it when I came until after I posted. It should also be mentioned more noticeable in the "NEWCOMERS: READ ME!" thread.

Have the ability to update the stuff you uploaded yourself, like update the icon, thumbnail, or model itself

[Dazz]

We are going to implement this feature at some point, but rather, you'll be able to submit revisions to any sheet on the site. Allowing you to update anything on the site, pending approval from a member of staff.

Could there be a rule (or at least a reminder) about uploading images to pic-upload.de? The only reason I say this is because they seem to block anyone from the Pacific region (like NZ, although possibly other regions as well) from viewing them, instead showing this:

It's a minor grievance, like for viewing the Diablo 2 level sprites here.

Well, those links are really for the staff. Once they go up on the site (which all of those sheets have) you can just view them there.
