Gallery Uploads

Sunday, May 3, 2009 by M-203 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Is something wrong with the submitting to Galleries function?

I have been trying on and off for 24 hours now to make my first submission to the Wallpaper Gallery,
including having to change my nick from M-203 to Interceptor to create "My Site",
allegedly due to invalid carachters in my M-203 nick.
The progress bar runs to the end, and then after about 60 seconds I get this:

WinCustomize has always been slow around where I am, but this is ridiculious.

I uploaded 2 new themes last night with no problems. Dunno why that would happen to you. Hopefully someone who does will see this post.

Try Again is the only answer friend. You can try uploading from a cyber cafe/ or some faster connection.

Erm, I think my DSL connection with 124 kbs upload should be fast enough that I don't need a cybercafe.

I'll keep trying, but not forever...

Do you have Flash 10 loaded on your system? There's an issue with Flash 10 that can give you problems when uploading. Since I use IE8 with flash 10 for my normal browser, I installed firefox without flash to upload here.

You can also try the lesser known second link to upload. https://www.wincustomize.com/upload.aspx

I think the Flash 10 issues have been ironed out. I have Flash 10 on my main skinning computer, and lately i've been able to upload just fine. The last thing I uploaded was last weekend, however.

Good luck, Interceptor. Cool nick, by the way! Just keep on trying. I'm looking forward to seeing your work.

Yes, thanks @ CarGuy, that link worked for me on IE7.  My Wallpaper is in Moderation it said.
By the way, you being a CarGuy, may be interested in the Wallpaper...

Thanks for your comments @ Mirsguy, I've been using Interceptor One as a nick since my youth,
back then it was a CB Radio nick though, due to lack of Internet!

However, I've changed it back to the one I've been using since I started here.

Extra question: how long generally does stuff stay in moderation?

it can be anything up to 5 days or longer, Depending on how many submissions there are in the queue. How busy the Mods are. The position of the sun, How many toes you had pointed towards the east at the time of uploading and if you did the incantation properly .

Sendign chocolate, coffee or booze may help "expedite" things.

How about if I send a spell-checker?

Flash 9 is still required for gallery uploads.  The Flash 10 issue was fixed for forum uploads.

Will that be changed?

If not, where can I download version 9?

The Flash 10 will most likely not be fixed.  WinCustomize 2009 has a new upload system so taking time away from that wasn't an option.

So can I assume that if my submission has not appeared after 7 days that it's been turned down?

And is the user given a reason as to why it's turned down?
