Uploading Troubles
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize 2011 Feedback
We are aware of some issues with uploading, and are working on them now.
Update:
Please use this thread to report uploading issues specifically. Please be as detailed as possible in your description, and include a screenshot if you think it will be helpful.
Update #2:
All skins are going into moderation at the moment regardless of user level. This is being addressed.

The zip file is still corrupt. Retry uploading one more time and leave the '#' out of the file name. Just use letters and numbers in the file name.
Thanks

Frankief; are you aware that the download for the matching logon is also broken.

It may be using a '#' in the file name. I have pulled the logon as well and a re-upload without using a '#' in the file name should tell if that is the issue.

Hey Hankers, I believe it was but that would be Island Dogs fault as per the summer skin contest upload rules
"Uploads must be tagged with #summer10 (example: Summer wallpaper #summer10)"

I'm not looking to put the blame on anyone. Just trying to get bad links fixed. It's possible that a '#' could be used in a file name by not having any spaces included. At this point the removal of the '#' in the name has fixed a logon.

Thank you Hankers for your help. Apparently renaming the files worked as I am now able to download both Wall and LV. GuessI.D. will have to change his rules for the contest!

regarding steampunk, i just edited the old skin again (yesterday actually) and replaced the old zip file with the new zipfile it requires as I was asked to add a battery meter. As I explained before, I now have 2 steampunk sysmetrix skins, i still would like to have the 'new steampunk' which was supposed to be an update of the old skin, not a completly new skin deleted. and as i also said before, i lost alot of comments and downloads with this same issue with wild star. Im not going through that again.
Hankers, i dont think that your idea of deleting the old skin (with all the downloads and comments) is a solution I want to take, I dont even consider it a solution. Why should I have to sacrifice personal comments and download numbers because something is not right with the upload system? sorry, I just dont want to do that.

Yeah, it isn't required for the actual filename. It's just important to put in the titles that way it makes it easier to search for the skins.

I got your email and I have reuploaded previously today but it still does not work and now is no longer in the gallery. I will reupload now, have resaved and rezipped to a smaller file size but when I editted earlier it went into moderation and was not available for a couple of hours.
