Known Site Issues
Monday, October 13, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: GUI Championships News
Welcome to the brand new GUI Champs Website!
Today we launched the site for the 2008 GUI Champs so artists could begin uploading their entries for this year's mega event. As you click through, you may notice a few glitches present. The site at the moment still have a few last-minute features to implement. So for the time being, the following features are not working:
- Search Bar
- "My Skins" page
- Downloading skins
- Viewing Skin Preview images
These are all being polished and tested and should be up in the next few days.
But for now, get to submitting those skins! Uploading & moderation tools work just fine ![]()

I don't think the downloading bug is properly fixed on IE7 yet.

Could you be more specific? Are you still seeing the blank page problem? Or is it something new?

Did you know about this?
Noticed it on the frontpage.

I don't seem to be able to edit or delete my posts once they have been posted. And what am I doing wrong when quoting another post? The [quote] tags show up, but then the posted version doesn't show the quote box.

- Pressing Next when in the Dream gallery takes page 2 of the global GUIC gallery, not page 2 of the Dream gallery.
- When looking at a skin's info, the "By" field is the name of the skin, not the name of the submitter.

Same for iconpackager and windowblinds.

These will be fixed when the next update is uploaded.

I don't know if it's just an illusion or an acutal issue but using my mouse wheel to scroll down most all pages of the site are smooth and fluid as they should be. Doing the same in the comments section of a submission just feels jerky and sloppy.
For the most part, it's a clean and efficient look and feel though.

treetog: Could you be specific as to which teams?
Reply #35 Tuesday, November 18, 2008 10:29 PM
Thanks, Zoomba ![]()
There are many teams that doesn´t show files and since I don´t recognize the artists names, I am not sure if they have submited files or not, but for sure, Starone´s and mines are not showing submited files.

It looks like it's because you're a team of 1. You're not considered an actual team by the system (or the contest in general) unless you have at least two members.

Skinhit's icon pack is not shown on Team Skin- Fu's page, but Night Train and I am there.

Thanks Bebop....I was just coming here to say the same thing ![]()
Reply #39 Thursday, November 20, 2008 10:00 PM
Really would appreciate an answer to this...My team has three skins submitted and two visible?

Skinhit - We're looking into it. It does not effect the individual events so no one is going to miss out on getting voted on/counted in next week's judging. It's on the list for the abbreviated Thanksgiving week.

We know about the download issue and are working on resolving it. It should work OK on Firefox right now, and in IE7 if you click the direct download link before the page tries to do it automatically.
