For T Man or the person who is in charge...
Wednesday, July 12, 2006 by TYCUS | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
For T Man or the person who is in charge of this kind of issues:
well, it's more like a request., is it possible to have a animated avatar? and to submit a GIF preview of our skins some where in the site?
about the avatars: a 50x50 GIF file (no larger than 15k)
and about the skins: The preview image must not exceed 100x100 pixels; not for WB skins or Wallpapers(yea i know.., who have seen a good GIF wallpaper?), no i mean on little things like cursor or beatnick animations and i dont know, maybe also on FX skins(are they skins
?)
just two little ideas

That would be GREENreaper. I always wondered about that Marvin the Martian hat. When you get sorted Fairyy~ I have some suggestions for Natural Desktop. |

| But, you were the first 2 to offer help on this in weeks |
Po:.....you've either been hangin' out too much with the troll or overly partaking of that Genuine Southern Headbuster you folks have a fancy for. If you had posted your own thread on this weeks ago, you would have had it fixed weeks ago. It's really a rather simple concept..........
I'm bustin' your balls... 
ZA Privacy animation you figured out. The smilies are a ZA site setting (images.stardock.com) or you have a another security app blocking it.

Im sorry - i know what it is - I should have been more clear - I was asking Bichur about his comment - i was confused cause I hadnt seen any reference to natural desktop - but I see there was anther thread about it - perhaps he thought I was on that thread asking about it.
Seeing that I was GreenReaper yesterday - no telling who I am on other threads........
You think that someone could have at least acknowledged the fact that I keep writing about not being able to upload a frivolous avetar - but to me its not frivilous when I see my account with someone elses Link in my browser.
A simple " we will see into it one day " would at least make me feel im not talking to myself.
Seems you only get attention if you squeak loud......

I apologise to Kilo - i didnt even try that link to be honest - i thought he was advising how to upload a file like icons and such. I was just more concerned with the crossing over of accounts . Im sure they will get it fixed eventually. Im just having an identity crisis.
Off to try his link...

Kilo- I cant believe how simple that was ..I didnt understand what you meant because I've never even been to Stardock site. Thankyou for a quick solution to an irritating problem.
Next time I will read more carefully.

| Fairyy~, I had the same problem. I finally managed to upload my icons when I uploaded from the Stardock site. Click the link, then sign in and try to upload your images that way. https://forums.stardock.com Link |

All the bugs are starting to get to me. For weeks, this is what I get when I go to the site...
I have to refresh the page about 3 or 4 times, sometimes more, to get a normal page. I can't sign on when it is doing this. Then, when I finally do sign on, I have to sign on to every page I go to in the site. Usually, the sign on will not work and I just give up and try a few hours later, when, for some unknown reason, everything seems fine again.
I am currently posting this through Stardock Central, because when this crap happens, it's the only way I can get on here. IE and FF will not work. This is the only site that does this. I have tried clearing my cache, setting ZA to accept all WC, Stardock sites, shutting ZA off, shutting NoScript off (which is set to allow all WC and Stradock sites to begin with) I have or am experiencing just about every bug I come across in the forums (Changing avatars, uploads, forum posts only half posting, etc)
These things seem to come and go, but lately, come and stay. When one thing gets fixed, something else goes out. Forum links won't post right, I fixed the problem with not seeing animations in the forums and the smilies go out again.
I did email support a week or so ago, but never heard back.
Imma stressin'. I know you all are busy, and I can't begin to imagine how much work all these changes and stuff take, but are we getting close to being free from all of these little irritants?

Po'
i see you have the FF extension NoScript installed. you must make sure you allow Wincustomize.com and startdock.com to run scripts. this may help

I always do. It's not my extension settings or other software, as I have turned them all off and had the same results when trying to get on the site.

To be safe, (haven't tested it yet) would be to try using your email address in the username form field instead of your nickname as perhaps the single quote is messing with the login somehow. Just a thought.

Yes, indeed. I know that special characters in names have now been disallowed. You may wish to contact T-man about changing your nickname.
