I can see that Rob has already uploaded some of M&J's mansions, which is OK.
I can also see that we are not handling the info in the same way, i.e. Rob, Semi-Native and me. Is that OK by you or do we have to decide on one correct way?
Yes, I'm sorry - for some reason, I associated yours and Freddy's mansions with you, and that was it. That's still a pretty good number, since you and Freddy have been pretty over the years creating mansions. I figured many or most of M&J's mansions had graphics issues anyway, so didn't significantly add to the overall count.
As for consistency well.... usually I'm almost fanatical about it. In this case, there's a few things about how the info was presented that bothered me before. As someone who has download many a custom mansion over the years, I'm found the way the info to be presented was kind of chaotic.
What I basically did, was move the info that would be most useful interesting to the person who was playing the mansion, and put that at the top. The designer, the difficulty, the storyline, rooms (if info was already there), and other info about the mansion. I think most folks care the most about this information a lot more than file-related information such as checksums, etc. Anyway, I moved this info together and to the top, Also, in some cases where there was an embedded fie in the distro, I'd move the text to the storyline/description/notes area in the download page.
What you said about it being somewhat confusing having to take into account the checksum and other file-related stuff occurred to me as well, so I wanted to format things in such a way where it was clear which file the information was associated with. I also wanted to emphasize in some way that one file was for MM1 and one for MMHD.
Anyway... I can change much of it back - it's not hard.These were the thoughts that drove those changes though. Sorry about the changes.
