On the RnD File Archive, how do you choose what type the level should go under?

I don't know.

What do you mean? Are you speaking about your own levels? or about a general setting?

This is definetely not worth a poll...
Currently, the only possibility some members (yes, only some - not all) have regarding the "type" is to choose whether to make it public in the archive or not. If it is not public then it will be shown as "Hidden" if you go to "Manage files", if it is public then it is automatically changed to level, group, tape or other. The rest of the possible types are only possible to fix by me.

However, I'm thinking about changing this system so that you can choose for yourself which "type" the file is. I'll see when I will implement that...

I think he's meant the file cathegory..?

Well, I consider the cathegories as some sort of file flags - if it focuses on CE techniques, I check the "CE techniques" box. If it isn't special in anything, I just don't put it in any cathegory...

Btw, IMO this is a silly poll. :-)

I meant what appears in the type column (Group, Level, Utility, or Other).

Well, even though this wasn't the original subject, since you brought it up I'll say a little about this also...
About the categories: Some users (I'm having a "userlevel" system controlling this) are able to choose which categories their files should be included in. I always get a message whenever a file is updated on the archive, so I can see the old info for the file and the new, so I always see that the files are included in the "correct" (from my point-of-view of course ;)) categories. And if I think it's in the wrong category, I change it.
