Dear Otlanders!
Today we have added a cool functionality available inside the Support board only. Once your problem was resolved, you can now mark the solution as a "Best Answer" - in a manner similar to how Q&A sites work.
This makes it easier for other people browsing the forum to clearly notice problems with existing solutions and it also helps our Support Team browse through the threads to see the ones without an answer (it is possible to filter threads by answer status at the bottom of the thread index when you expand "filters"). It also gives proper credit to our awesome community members who help others!
Spriting Showoff
On unrelated news: we also created a Spriting Showoff thread which is a successor of the old "Art Showoff > Small Art" board targeted towards spriting efforts. Most of the spriting-related threads were moved already but if there is any thread we missed, please report it and we will move it to the appropriate section.
Please remember that selling sprites is not allowed. Making yourself available for spriting Jobs is allowed in the Jobs section. We are considering adding Spriting forum under Downloads if you feel like sharing your work. For now we welcome you to add download links in your showoff threads.
