How do I make a link to a level in my message?

Simply like this: [lvlid=XX] where XX is the ID of the level, that you can get on the game page (illustration below).

What does the colored blocks next to the level names mean ?

Yellow block: The level is official. Congratulations to the author!

Blue block: The level is accepted. It is shown on the main page and anyone can play it. It's a very good level but it is not fun, new or original enough to be official.

Purple block: The level needs to be edited, usually because it has a bad thumbnail, a bad title or it is too messy.

Red block: The level is rejected, meaning that it's a bad level.

Gray block: The level has not yet been evaluated.

I've upldoaded a new level, when will it be evaluated ?

It depends on the availability of the administrators. It can be 1 day, or several weeks before a level is evaluated.

Can I be an administrator ?

Yes but you might not ask us to become an administrator. The adminsitrators are selected and invited by the game author or the site administrators. Here are some of the characteristics needed to become an administrator : helpful, available, very good level designer, good (english) writing skills, mature behaviour.

I'm creating a new level and when I click on LOCAL SAVE, a popup appears requesting to store information on my computer ?

When you do a LOCAL SAVE, it saves to your hard drive and not to BonusLevel.org. Each level takes up several kilobytes of space. Flash puts a limit on the amount of space that each website is allowed to use; the default is 100 kilobytes. This popup is asking for more space because you've reached the size limit. Clicking "Allow" is the right choice and will NOT endanger your computer, because you can trust BonusLevel.org.

Anyway, to change the storage limit, right click anywhere in the game, click on "Settings..." and click on the icon that looks like a folder. You can then adjust how much storage space is allowed for the website. Adobe explanations.

Note that you can remove your local levels once you've uploaded them. Removing a local level will not remove the online level, and will free up space on your local Flash storage.

I've accidentally uploaded a level that was not yet ready to be evaluated, what am I supposed to do now ?

Just change the title of your level to "NOT READY" or "UNFINISHED" and upload it again. Once your level is ready, restore the original title.

All my scores are gone!! Why?

The scores normally don't get lost. Are you logged in? You must log in to be able to see them.

I finished the XYZ level and saved the score but it disappeared now! Why?

If the level status changes from Accepted to Official, all the scores are reset, you will have to finish it again. The scores can be also reset when the level needs to be modified, its scores not being valid anymore.
