To anyone who manages the Quest Database in zeldaclassic.com:
I recently submitted quests to the QDB. Two of them have submission problems.
The first is "Quest On" which there is no download available for the quest and no screen shots. I provided accurate information in the fields but it didn't make it somehow.
The second is "The Missing Triforces DELUXE" which I submitted yesterday. The quest was able to make it in for the download but the filename of the ZIP file was renamed and there is no screen shots. Plus, they inadvertently titled it "Missing Triforces DELUXE The," and yes, I followed the little note:
If it begins with a "The" or "A", you may want to consider naming the quest "Great White Hype, The", rather than "The Great White Hype".
Can you take care of this, or what should I do?
post links to screenshots here or pm me, we must be able to hotlink said images else they wont be added to the submission.
re-submit both if you can and i'll look into it... i believe there was a issue with , which may have been solved recently which is why the , was removed... and wtf is http://zeldaclassic.armageddongames.net/download.php?file=624ad2bb.zip ? that file name makes no sense to me in any way.
The submission has a few errors that may have been caused by certain characters in the quest title, like the ampersand for example. If you send me a PM with the screen shot links and the links for the quest files, I can resubmit them so they can work properly.
EDIT: franpa, the database renames the files when they upload into the system. That is not something we can control. Somehow the names for the quests were not mapping to the actual quest download page, probably because of the character problem as I mentioned in this post. If you got it then fine - zcAmazing, just PM franpa and if there is a problem let me know if I can help more.
Another edit: The Missing Triforces DELUXE page seems to be working fine other than the title issue. If you wanted it fixed it will have to be completely resubmitted since changing the title does not change the redirect page and will break it.
Did you send the links for the quest files too? The submissions may have to manually be redone and we need those links as well.
Just in case:

EDIT: No vertical scrollbar in the pop-up window showing cheats, hints, or spoilers even there is a huge bit of information. You would have to highlight to scroll down. Can you fix that problem. It's for all quests in the QDB, all authors.
EDIT: Please remember that "Quest On" is for 1.90. Inadvertently called it 2.10. (ZC Version)
EDIT: Okay. I resubmitted the quests. Let me know if there is any problems. I disregarded the note...
If it begins with a "The" or "A", you may want to consider naming the quest "Great White Hype, The", rather than "The Great White Hype".
...so the title would be correct.
Please try to remove the submissions that have problems.
I have updated both those quest submissions along with keeping a temporary backup of each. Please post here if any more problems are found, or if everything just seems to be okey dokey. 😊
As you guessed we occasionally run into a few minor hiccups. Thanks for your patience.
damn you, its so boring around here and I wanted to help 😞

Thanks for your help. A-OK!

Ah Christ. I'll take a look at the scripts and try to figure out what's broken as soon as I have some spare time. (This weekend; possible tomorrow evening.)
