I had some other ideas. Whee.

It would be nice if you could set the number of viewable downloads to more than 20. It's probably often that someone uploads something worth looking at but soon it is pushed past the main page because someone's uploaded a bunch of (if I may say) crappy levels. Have the default number be at 20, but have a form where you can change the default number you can see as far as your personal preferences.

I had another idea, but it would be much harder to incorporate, I'd imagine. It had to do with making J2O fully customizable. When I work on SJ I use a program called GreyMatter for posting news, and in GreyMatter you can fully customize every aspect of everything using variables. Basically you set up the basic HTML as far as tables, colors, etc, and then for putting in actual content you put in variables that will return the content. GreyMatter's variables appear in a set of two brackets, ie {{post}} or something like that. With this option you could have a large variety of skins and formats for those with enough energy and time to create them, though I don't doubt that this would be rather difficult to consider since you guys have most of the formatting laid out already hard-coded.

Just an idea...
