Who Where What happened
Uploads, my gallery, my skins
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 by Noiram | Discussion: Icons
You've probably heard that title a thousand times but I have been having some trouble with a couple of icons I've been trying to upload. Thanks to snowman, I found out what I was doing wrong the first time but after I fixed the problem I uploaded 2 seperate icons to misc.icons and then received the (your work has been accepted please allow 5 days bit). I went to my gallery and there they were just as normal, then I uploaded the same 2 icons but in .png format to objectdock section and went to my gallery and there they were but the 2 I uploaded for misc.icons section were gone. Each time I upload something, I go to my skins and check to see that they are in moderation but this time the only ones in moderation are the objectdock png's. I know that posting the same looking icons in 2 diferent places is redundant but what I would like to know is what happened to them. Another thing that I have been experiencing in my gallery with these 2 icons are that the old screenshot was still showing even after being deleted and uploaded new shot. So if you get multiple uploads of the same thing, its because, to me it looks like you didn't get the right thing. And Another thing, I have uploaded 3 different avatars, the next day I check, there gone, I upload again, I check later, they are gone again. I haven't received any email about these being accepted or rejected and both times they were in my gallery and my skins in moderation, now gone again. 
I posted this to Stardock support, how it ended up here ? who knows

they need to be 50x50 jpg and zipped, so they will be rejected

misc.icons rejected, objectdock icons rejected because they crash OD+
This is a thumbnail of what my dockzip looks like, is this correct? I tested it and it told me there were no errors. I am using both the real arcade icon and vop icon on my od and they look and work great but I really don't know whats wrong with my zips.

About the avatars, when I go to upload them it says (.png file) so I would zip a .png not a .jpg if this is not the case then why would it say that?

Make like me i upload Avatar in three folders in Zip one for PSD to allow users to make their own (not so necessary), one for .PNG and one for .JPG. Avatar gallery is for WC in first so like WC use avatar in 50x50 jpg only... But Users could be want to use the same in others forums thus i made the same in png for others site who allow users to use png format.

that could have been the mistake, no seperate folders would make a messy zip

They will all be sorted out later today.
...the .dockzip has been tested again, and is fine. It's in the gallery now.

In the moderation section I can see the avatars. Two are unzipped png, they need to be 50x50 jpg and zipped, so they will be rejected. Also there are two Misc Icons and two Object Dock icons, Verizon and Game Spy - are these the ones you are referring to?
Sometimes items in moderation don't show on someone's page, dunno why, but they are there. They will all be sorted out later today.
