Right now the way entries are grouped on BotBrs' profile pages is really stupid, at least in the back end code. When an entry is submitted BotB looks to see if it's a remix or an OHB, and if it's anything else it gets labeled chiptune. Now, even if I fix this type of routing, things get more complicated as we have added a lot of formats lately that are not audio such as pixel art, ascii, and html. So, in what way would you all like to see this information divided up...?

Filetype easier?

whats the problem with having a category for each type?

chip champion, i suppose is the space in the profile. It will be HUGE if you have tons of types of files. At the end will be esier to find... maybe this way can help....
GLOBAL/CATEGORY/SUB CATEGORY/ENTRY
for example:
PROFILE/OHC/NSF/MY OHC ENTRY

a better example see this image

yeah, ui, kind of what i'm talking about

it would be cool if there was a minor battle (OHBs and duels) switch/toggle filter thing in the top right corner... it would have 3 positions : no mini battle entries, all entries, no major battle entries
..or maybe on/off lights for each category of battle...

By default, I am thinking, there should be pagination like on the forum pages where there are too many threads to display on a single screen.

I want to replace the term 'remixes' as there are original songs in there as well. Something that means not-chip while not saying anything regarding chip. Maybe 'tracks'?

'Samples' will become 'Bits' and 'mp3 sample' will be a bit format along with various other file types that could be useful for randomly generated packs in mini battles.

Each format could also be available as a button...

For me, that's the point of tagging: Eeasy sorting/classification. So what both ui and puke7 mention is the way I think of tags, and how I've been using them, besides adding more info to tracks.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/804/examplet.png > hmmm, FAVS might as well also be a playlist. Actually, all entries for each category could potentially be a playlist for rendered tracks, and/or entries pack for the real lazy (meemememememmeme)

But yeah, FAVS could be a playlist like it's now, but just bringnig it up for other "categories"

hehehe, houston categoring is a problem. I dunno what's the point with remixes/chiptunes/and ohcs, though I acknowledge (or I believe to know) the origin. Non chip battle, battles and ohbs.

As big categories for organization I'd only kept two major categories, eg: BIG BATTLE, and SMALL BATTLE (Terms can (and should be changed/not used))

* Big Battle = anything submitted to battles lasting more than one hour. Be it chip (nsf, sid, mods for winterchip/3xtheme) or amensin, renoise2.5, detroit, and any other big remix/allgear/surprise remix deallies, including vsts.

* Small Battle = any work submitted for a ohb.

Regardless of works submitted to either battle (like some n00bs submitting nsfs to detroit remix dealie XD) sub-organazing/displaying/categorizing (sp?) specific file formats could work (especially for winter chip+3xtheme) That way at least chiptune is taken off as category (though we all know those are "chip")

Remix = what's wrong with it? What if a remix is tweaked too much, to the point to remind people of chip works. What about "works" or "submisions" maybe too generic-plain-and broad :(

The categories/switches is nice since they'd only be displayed-parse when the user clicks on the category, so in that case space is not such a big issue, unless you want the ENTIRE catalogo of works by a BotBer.
