WinCustomize 2010 Beta Feedback Forum [Read Before Posting!]

Monday, January 4, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize 2011 Feedback

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the WC 2010 Beta.  We are excited to be getting near the release of the new WinCustomize, but we still have many things to be worked out, and your help in finding issues and other feedback will be appreciated.  Remember, this is a beta and problems can be expected.

You can access the beta site at:

www.wincustomizetest.com

This forum will serve as the place to give your feedback whether it's a site issue, or general feedback about the site.  To make this organized and efficient, there are a few guidelines to follow in this area.

Tag posts with the titles.  Example: [Bug] Page Not Working

[Bug] Use this if you find a site bug.

[Feature] Obviously, if you want to give feedback on a specific feature.

[Request] If you are requesting something.

[Question] If you have a general question not pertaining to other tags.

If your post is something other than those examples, just tag the post appropriately so we can view them with some type of order.

The forums are not part of this beta, with the possible exception of a new theme.  Feedback for the forums doesn't need to be posted here.  If you run across a forum issue, please use the existing thread here.

Thanks for your help!

-Spencer

[Bug] Not only are screenshots on updated skins incorrect, it's also not using the updated skin file.  This is not good

I'll look into where we could put that info...

I'm not sure 100% what you mean by this, if you can go into the steps you go through to have the incorrect issue in there I will look into it.  Is it just that when you update info its not picking up the update?

 

Also of note, I changed the front page to have number of comments on each articles/post on the lists.  Also added a link to view more in the same category (redirects to forums) and increased the number of skins/skinners in the side lists from 5 to 10.  Finally I removed the hovering menus on the explore menu filters, they are now click to expand and click to collapse. 

 

I think that's all that worth mentioning for now, more updates as they come.

Look at Mica on the old site.  The download is 1.4 MB, the screenshot is up-to-date.  Look at Mica on the new site- the screenshot is from 2007 and the file is also old- 400 K.

[Request] Include the most recent updated date for master skin registrations on the registrations page (so we can easily see if a new version is available for download).

Kestral...Are you going to fix the gallery issue of broken previews as shown in the screenshot in this thread https://forums.wincustomize.com/374086/page/2/#replies in replies #32 & #35 ? That would be great rather than me having to change my font just for the beta site.

I just saw your screen shot, I have some other bugs to look at first then I will look for a fix for this once I have taken care of those.

New site is looking great and loads very quickly.

There has been mention of this and would like to throw out a suggestion not a problem. With the Recent Forum Posts on the old site it list 10. I like this number as keeping 10 active is a good number. On the new site we only get 5 active. Under the last post you have a "View More" link and it takes you to the Forum. I think it my be better served for the Community if you click on the View More link it list #6 thru #10 of the recent post. There is already a link to the Forum at the top of the page and with ease you could actually add a forum link under the view More link if you want an additional forum link.

I understand you have other things to fix that are not working correctly. However I believe the people really like the quick access of the Recent Forum Posts. Thank You.

ok I think this is at least partially resolved...  looks like there was some sort of error in the backend that wasn't updating the screenshots correctly...  I see the right screen for Mica now for instance, however, it seems the download file is the same.   PurrBall if you don't mind could you download the skin from the new site and make sure that it is still the old version and not just a label issue or something?   I can download it but don't really know the difference offhand between the two versions

 

If its still the old version I'll have to look into this further, maybe there is something else back there that's off.  Or maybe its front end and I just haven't found the issue yet.

(Bug)

All the filters working now except in the WindowBlinds gallery the filters for XP, Vista & Windows 7 ready. All the other filters in WindowBlinds OK.

 

ok I think I have all the filter issues worked out.  There is something behind the scenes not working correctly specifically with the "most popular" view (particularly when searching then trying to sort your results).  All the filters should play nice together now, however.  Keep in mind that the 'view all' gallery still has some issues in the back end, hopefully both these problems will be resolved soon.

[bug] I searched for WindowBlind skins by MikeB314. Then once I got to that page, I filtered by Master skins. When I applied that filter, the skins being displayed were for all skins--Master skin or not; and for all galleries.

this should now be fixed with the fixes from my above post, sorry for the repetition just trying to work through the backlog of problems I've written down.

 

In addition to this, fixed a bug where the search query filter was getting messed up when switching between pages in the results.

[questions] I know that some of this may have been discussed but....

clicking on my moniker and clicking on "my site" comes up with the same page, and this only shows the most nine recent skins with no direct access to the others from there.

typing in gmc2 in the search in the combo box on brings up "gmc2" skins and not the others that were made under AKA "wimpy". (should I resubmit the others lol)

how do I change my personal information in the new settings.

where is "my skins"? I use this to monitor comments for the submission.
