I would like a extra link on the build holds page to find all my old holds. I have trouble remembering what holds I had not finished. And what with all the clutter there is from multipule holds that allow me to change them, there is no easy way to see what is mine. Could we install a filter that highlights all the holds that I've built?

Do you mean in the editor, or the Architecture forum? Either way, I like the idea.

How about a more general filter by author name instead? As long as the new hold filters from TCB will be usable in the editor, the author name filter should be all thats needed.

In addition, a link on X Architect's forum profile page should search for all the holds that person's made. Say I wanted a list of all MeckMeck holds, well I'd just go to his profile and click the link instead of searching around the holds database randomly.

Or rather than random searching, you could just go to this page.

Ah, I hadn't noticed the option where you could select a letter.

However, one of those is Rabscuttle's, so we're really searching by "d" in the "submitted by" name, not the forum account name, which is more useful since the forum account profile is linked to in each post the account makes.

I didn't select a letter. I just sorted by architect, and selected the appropriate starting point and number of holds to display by modifying the f= and npp= as necessary.

This is a nice idea that can be implemented simply. I'll have the names of all holds authored by the player tinted in the level editor.

While we're talking about that screen: it's nice that you can use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of holds in the editor, as you can at the "change location" screen. But you can't scroll onto a hold you can't change, and therefore you can't scroll past it, either. Perhaps it would be nice to be able to hide, instead of just gray out, uneditable holds?

How about just skipping past uneditable holds when navigating around with the arrow keys? (Of course, whether listing holds you cannot select anyway is useful or not is another matter...)

I'd...how about if you could click on holds enough to see what you needed to unlock editing the hold?
