Level naming suggestion

Post by rescuefire » Fri Jun 15, 2007 10:34 pm

Hi all you fantastic level makers! I'm one of those Wonderlandaholic's that keeps levels for ages and goes back to them periodically to see if I can solve them. Usually after much frustration I finally do a search for the level to see if there are any new posts or solutions.

What I have found in searching is that some of you don't put a space between "New level" and the - and then the title name. When using the search engine on here if there is no space then it won't find it.

So for goobers like me that have to search for your great levels could you possibly put that space in there like this "New level - Awesome" just so it is more easily searchable. Thanks in advance!

Love the little puppy dog.........

I also go back and play some of the older levels so that is a great idea although it probaly won't last very long. I was wondering why I had such trouble finding a level once in awhile. I usually open the folder and see what date it was created then bring up the author and try to find a page around that date then try to find the level, but unless the name of the level is in the title I have to seach thru pages and pages of ones that say new level or here's 2 more. So unless I really like the level I don't bother.

If the creater is still around I do ask them, most are pretty helpful. But its a good suggestion.

Now that's a good idea....but a long way around. Searching by date must be a colossal pain hehehe

I guess I just hate going through pages and pages, and most of the levels I'm always looking for are Lillie's, Kiki's, Kazzie's, Lizzie's and now Mark's too and they all have made so many it's hard to get to the exact one.

Another thought - If a level isn't given a title, it is listed as "untitled". These are very hard to find short of using the author. So, for the new level makers, be sure to give your levels a title so that they can be searched. :D
