Need Shorter URL Links

Forums: 

Some time ago, all the site's sound and music was located in a specific "Audio" category and the link to this section was http://opengameart.org/browse/audio. Despite the length, it was possible to share this link on forums.

Now, Music and Sound Effects have their own categories. And I think that's great. However, the links to each is very long:

Sound Effects:

Blue Drone mesh uploaded, has error+not found on search

Forums: 

Hi all,

 

This is intended for the admins to see really because they have not provided a contact medium on here. I have had an email from the site but being cynical, expect it to be an auto sender so have not tried sending an email to that address.

Can't Submit Art - ERROR 500

Forums: 

Hello Admin,

I'm Trying to upload an audio file (ogg for preview and zip(33mb) for download), but it's showing the error HTTP 500 when I click on save.
I tried several times...

See the attached png.
 
Help me pls :( 

EDIT.

 

I did some testing to find out. It seems that the problem is in the description, I removed the part disclaimer ''CC BY SA'' and the upload works correctly.

 

Att.

Registration problem solved-- Thank you !!

Forums: 

I registered ~27 Mar, but no 'click to validate' e-mail arrived by next morning. After several days, I decided I must have put a typo in my e-mail address. Happily, the e-mail arrived today, 14 April, date-stamped 27 Mar !! Thank you, thank you for sorting it out, Nik

Help with Site Mantainence/Development

Forums: 

 

Hi, I just want to ask if there is anything I or anyone else can do to help out with the mantainence and/or development of OGA?

I am fairly busy guy but I do code, I was a Unix sys admin in a former life and I would be glad to lend what time and skill I do have to help out OGA.

Use of captcha tool for new users/spam bots?

Forums: 

Successful spam occurences seem to be down recently, but they do get through now and then. I was just adding a conact form to my website, including Google's reCAPTCHA for some bot detection. This got me thinking if OGA uses this also...

On the registration page, the current measure seems woefully inadequete.

"CAPTCHA

This question is for testing whether you are a human visitor and to prevent automated spam submissions.What is the background of the blue theme on this site? *Fill in the blank."

I could easily write code to allow a bot to circumvent this.

Uploading Other Authors Works

Forums: 

It seems like it is not working. I click "no" for "Is this your own work?" but I cannot see the author field after that.

It used to work

Search fail, "border" finds cactuses

Forums: 

Recently I was looking for borders, to be used with an UI that was making for a project. So I typed "border" into the search box and, whooops, I found my cactuses:

http://opengameart.org/content/some-cactuses

First I was puzzled, then I remembered the discussion - these graphics have a blurry border, and someone told me about it, I replied that they are still quite useable and posted an example screenshot.

Search misses despite correct keyword, also tagging questions

Forums: 

I wanted to search for my own art, to update it. I used the search because I thought that might be the quickest way to get there.

It's this: http://opengameart.org/content/double-axe-povray-scene-file

I first searched for "double axe", and I got no results.

The I searched for "axe" and got a lot of results, but not mine.

Something is broken in the search.

 

Edit: Should one use tags in plural form "weapons" and "tools" or singular "weapon" and "tool" in this case?

Feature - Filters for profile page

Forums: 

Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to add filters to user's profile pages so that we can sort the submissions by a particular value. My main reason for requesting this is that I would like to filter my submissions by the most popular and continue producing sprites that seem to be popular with the community.

My current approach is to open each submission individually and  view the download count. (Which will not be possible as my submission count countinues to increase).
