Hey bros, here's a thing I just invented to make submitting sprites way easier. It's called Sprite Database User Control Panel or SDBUCP. Ok, you don't have to call it that. Anyway, here's what it is. A new web-based process that allows you to submit files to SDB more efficiently. It can be found at
http://spritedatabase.net/usercp/
If you want an account, post here or PM me, and I'll set you up with a temporary password. Then, after logging in, you can go here to change your password to something more permanent.
After you've logged in, you can start submitting files by clicking Submit a File. This is what you'll see:
Fill in all the correct info (if you need help with anything, just mouseover the little blue help orbs) and when you're done, click Submit.
If you are submitting a sprite for a game that isn't on SDB yet (let's say, I dunno..."Grim's Bodacious Adventure") - just select ADD NEW GAME from the Game dropdown and you'll see a new form, like this:
Anyway, when you're done, click the button that says "Submit". On the next page you'll be given a BBCode to post your new submission to the forums. Please continue posting everything you submit to the forums as usual.
At any point you can click on My Queued Submissions to see all the files you've submitted that have not been accepted to the site yet.
Every week I'll look at the pending submissions and, if everything looks correct, I can approve them with a click of a button. If not, I can either make the necessary changes myself, or inform the submitter of what needs to be done.

So yes, that's that. If you're a regular contributor please try it out. I will keep adding more features too, so you can make changes to your old submissions and more.
