Don't know if this has been suggested before, but could it be possible to create a Custom Level Database (let's call it CLD).
Well, actually we do have place for levels but it's not very practical & does not have every level: www.marbleblast.com/index.php/downloads/.../5-mbp-custom-levels .

Searching custom levels and downloading them would be much easier than current way. Some players don't even post pictures of levels, just a download link in to their level thread.

Every custom level would have its details on database (name, author(s), description gold/platinum/ultimate/... -time(s), type of level (if it can be classified), game [mbg/mbp etc.], par time, easter egg (does it exist in level), release date, pictures (at least 1) and other details. -- And a download link of course.

This would be super helpful. I liked the monthly packs we had back on the old forums. The best way to download a lot of custom levels now is the CLA from 2009, and those are all outdated.

Support for easily adding custom levels to the game (likely via the launcher) should come Soon(tm). As of right now, many levels are missing some interiors/shapes or have general incompatibilities that prevent them from working (well) in MBP 1.51.

I do agree that there is no central repository for posting/browsing/fetching levels. Perhaps I could bug Aayrl to (eventually) code some backend for it?

Edit: Pictures should be deemed important, by not strictly mandatory. There should also be separate places for events, broken level, level packs and the such.

I do have PF's resository of the CLA but no further work was done on it since he gave it to me, and I don't know who wants to sift through 2000+ levels to make sure they all work, all missions have pictures, no missing interiors, etc

Well yes - that is a problem. I believe that some program could get details from .mis and take default image of the level and automatically import them somehow. Forum members could add their own (and why not other missing) custom levls.
