Smitemasters Selections (+1)

Just a minor point, that has probably been brought up before, but people who just visit the site to download user-made holds might miss out on smitemasters selections since they're not included in the hold rating screen.

Also, it would be nice and helpful for them to be included in the hold rankings (e.g. they could see which one has been voted the best, or hardest). The download link could take the user to the page where they can buy that SmS.

Any thoughts?

For more win, let the SMSs (and possibly the official holds) be stickied topics on the Holds board.

I like Jacob's idea, although it could be a bit confusing for people who are looking for free holds and keep stumbling upon the ones they have to pay for.

Stickying all official and SMS holds on the holds board would be overdoing it a bit though. I count 15 at the moment, so they would take up half of the first page. I prefer just having the most recentently created/commented on holds at the top.

So make a single thread with links to all the SMS hold threads, and sticky THAT.

Well, what if the page just included a view official holds button?

And where would that link go? Probably to either a thread or forum... A sticky would be simpler and about as effective, I think.

No I meant for the holds to be included in the downloads page, only hidden unless the user requests to view them. Or they could be on a separate page, like the rpg holds. And maybe, as suggested by Jacob, with a buy-link instead of a download link. Doesn't feel like that big a deal though.
