Downloads section cleanup

[Andyman]

You might've noticed today that things are starting to find their way from Upload Here into their proper places. That's because I've started picking away at it. At the rate I'm going, it should be more or less complete in about a month or two. I also plan on reviewing every subsection for misplaced items, and I'll be putting those where they belong as well.

Please be patient, as I'm doing this a bit each weekday as I have free time. It's a process. We're getting there!

Thanks for your time in doing this job & a few hours on this 1 lol

As I'm tidying up, I'm noticing that many content creators aren't including platform info and aspect ratio with their creations. Please make sure you state what platform(s) the upload is for and what screen format it's for. Having to look up the platform info slows down the process and having to guess at the aspect ratio could cause the files to end up somewhere other than where they're intended to be. Thanks for all you do, everyone!

The Upload Here section is finally back to 0 items! On to the rest of the Downloads section. You've probably already noticed significant changes and additions to it - many more to come!

Thank you very much. Good job, man.

[Andyman]

OK, the Downloads section is now about 99% organized. That went a lot faster than expected. Hurray! If you spot anything that's not where it ought to be, please let us know. Thanks for your patience!

Thank you very much! 😃

Please fix the search on the site.

[Andyman]

I'll see what I can do!

[Andyman]

OK, you can actually read the quicksearch drop-down options now. Hehe.

[Andyman]

I should mention a few things here...

1) If you're not seeing something you're looking for, check the Media section for that system. Many systems have all-in-one media packs that also include Main Menu and System Default themes, among lots of other handy items.

2) Also check the Other and HyperSpin Cinematic sections. There's tons of multi-system and general-use items there.

3) Many of the subsections show a zero item count at the moment. This may or may not be correct. It's due to the Downloads section restoration, and I'm currently correcting the counts.

[Andyman]

OK, the entire Downloads section is now tidy and all of the item counts are accurate. If something looks out of place, please let us know. Enjoy!

At the moment, yes, though it's being worked on. I don't have an estimate on when it will return.

Hi @Andyman,

When you get a chance, can you take a look at the submenu drop-downs on the home page.  They don't seem to work when using  Chrome or Edge Web browsers.

 

Thank you in advance.

[Andyman]

That appears to be across all browsers, not just those two. I will discuss with the other admins and see what's going on there. Thanks for letting us know!
