Wincustomize Beta Feedback
Monday, December 28, 2009 by karmat | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
Nice to see the new website! Looking good, but I hope since it's a beta that suggestions will be considered... 1) Could you make the link "Submit Beta Feedback' in the top left corner of the homepage link to something other than the Forum homepage - maybe to a sticky post. 2) Can the amount of skins showing on one page in a gallery be larger than 18? Way too much clicking! Minimum could be at least 20, with choices of 50 and 100 (please!!!). 3) I noticed the feature of a description popup when you hover over a thumbnail is no longer there. Could that be brought back, otherwise you have to click and go to the page to find out more details? 4) To see a larger preview opens another tab like before. I thought I read it would be something like the way DA or Customize.org does a preview? 5) When someone provides links in their description accompanying their upload, on the old website it would show up with an icon and 'link'. Now the whole link is shown. Can it be changed to the shorter version? 6) I didn't see the 'Subscriber Resources' listed anywhere. I really like the larger thumbnails! So, please don't jump all over me, these are suggestions and comments, NOT COMPLAINTS! All in all, I appreciate the amount of time and talent it takes to revamp a site and hope that it can be tweaked to everybody's satisfaction. <br>
Update.....
The new site is not officially beta yet, so it appears I've jumped the gun with my suggestions. <br>
Feel free to use this post to mention what you'd like to see for the new site, or anything else for that matter.

I noticed in my profile the level was missing i.e. Apprentice, Master Apprentice, Journeyman etc., are they being done away with?

I cannot log in using Safari. Edit: Fine after clearing my cookies from WC! Edit 2: It seems that if I go to the forums and then back to the main site, I'm logged off.
I don't think it's very clear that clicking "Explore" will go to a page that shows galleries not present in the dropdown (such as DX Themes). I think that it would be better if there was a "More" button present in the dropdown also.

Thanks for the link.
I knew there was a new website coming, but hadn't heard anything in months.

Frogboy posted a link in the IRC over the weekend.

Yes needs lots of work. All I get is a blue faded to white surround with a white box in the middle.

The link works for me using IE 8, can even log in. 
Reply #14 Monday, December 28, 2009 5:13 PM
I'm still using IE7. I didn't like the way IE8 worked with WB. Maybe that's why.

I'm on Firefox 3.5.6 and it works fine most of the time. Sometimes I can't post or rate a skin and sometimes the page is just a faded blue white but if I refresh it loads properly.

Personally...I like the site as it is now. Much easier to navigate. But what do I know.

The other thing we need to keep in mind is that it is still a beta, which means the your personal page is probably not complete as well as some other stuff.
I imagine that Island Dog or Frogboy will do a thread and walk use all through what is there in the beta and then let us know of any new stuff that will be in the final release versiosn.
EDIT: I have just recently downloaded the most current version of FF and the beta site works with it also.

Our personal site has been replaced with our gallery. I was hoping that we would get our guest book back and our site expanded a bit but it looks as if the opposite has happened.
I also noticed that the dream galleries do not have preview video capability.
I know that it's a beta site so I'm hoping these things just haven't been put into place yet.

Nothing like a change in a site to get folks interest up.
It's been awhile and somethings are broken on the current site so maybe it is time for an update.

Sorry, I put line breaks in, but they don't show up for me anymore. If there's a way of doing it other than hitting enter, please let me know!
