Why does the "All" button in the "brand new" My Skins page do nothing at all? Should it not show "All Skins"? That would be my definition of "All". ![]()

I have a question about the new column called Approved.
All of my offerings are marked "No" in this column. Shouldn't this be "Yes" because journeyman uploads are automatically "approved" ?
Not trying to nit pick as I am sure you have your hands full with important fixes. Just raised the question for your awareness.
For those that do not know how to get to the page, click your screen name at the top of the home page right before My Site.
Then select the My Skins List on the right side of the page that opens.
hmmm that column is showing if a skin is in moderation or not. It's possible that the process of uploading as a journeyman that causes a skin to skip moderation is also skipping the setting of that flag. IE they only get set to "Approved" when a mod actively approves them and somehow the shortcut for journeymen skips this setting even though it is still available for public viewing. I will try to figure out why this is... Also there is a known bug with the 'public' field. All skins are showing up as public right now, even those set just for private pages. I know why this is happening and we are working to fix it.
for Redneckdude: the adni18 thing seems to have been some weird ghostbusters style stream crossing madness... we looked into reasons why it could have occured and there is nothing immediately apparent. If it happens again we will have more data to compare, but as it stands now I would say its a bizzare anamoly. As for the line breaks, it looks like somewhere all HTML is being stripped out of the skin description, will look into why/where this is happening.

As for the line breaks, it seems to retain the formatting when I go to the skin and edit it. Bad side is, it sends my skin into moderation if I edit the text. It somehow seems to only lose the HTML on initial upload.

Just add line breaks as your inputting your description before you hit submit...worked for me! ![]()
Edit: Ok...I take that back! It worked just as it uploaded...but now I see it didn't take! Who knew! ![]()

Just a quick question for Kestrel, on the old my skins page there were totals at the bottom. Would this be too hard to implement? Not complaining, just inquiring. Thanks again for your work to get this up and running.

Sorta wondering why the titles of submissions are truncated, half missing when looking at gallery thumbnails?
Example.. my last theme "Svelte for XP Vista and 7" would fit easily on top line but the "and 7" is missing so now it reads... 'Svelte for XP Vista'
Doesn't make any sense, The whole idea for putting and 7 in the name is to let potential customers know it isn't just for XP and Vista.. but it reads as if thats all it is for.
I understand condensing things to save space but it would fit easily on the header instead of just showing half the name of a submission and folks passing it by because they are non 7 and it only says XP and Vista. ![]()

"my skins" - sortable columns would be nice along with that total download number. thanks for getting this updated.
how do you change the number of previews viewed. I going to "my site", to "my settings" but receiving a 404 error.
how do we delete submissions from our galleries.

WinStep Gallery: Smileys not working.
When posting a comment, it disappears into the 'buffer' and can't be seen by the poster. One never knows if the post has succeeded or not unless one changes browsers.

I can't seem to delete skins.. if I go through to "My Site" then my "Gallery" tab and click delete on the skin pages on there, they disappear from the old site area but still seem to be here.

Two questions about the new “My Skins” page.
1) Why have a column titled Author? It seems unnecessary and redundant.
2) What exactly does the "Approved" column mean?

The approved column indicates whether or not the skin has passed through moderation.

Otherwise the updates are great, as Guinness says only good things come to those who wait.

I hope this is in the right spot. These are the issues I've found when uploading.
I uploaded a couple of docks today and they wouldn't show up in "my skins" until I edited them.
Make sure you upload the right file. I uploaded the wrong file for Aeon and now I get a "file not found page". I can't delete it, so I'll wait to see what happens.
When you download your own skin or get a file not found, they count as downloads. That will throw off the download counts.
Even though they're on my skins page, they still haven't gone public.
Oh, and when you edit a skin, the upload preview and upload file are switched.
Example: When you first upload it's "file then preview". If you edit, it's "preview then file". Might be confusing for some. It got me once.
Just some things to put on the list...![]()
