Is there any way that we can get the option back to do a "save as" when we right click a download button on a skin?  I prefer to have a "hard copy" of skins I use, and, also, I always do another check on files before I open them for virus's, etc.  To me, if this option is not going to be available again, I probably will no longer download anything from the site.  This is not a threat...please don't read that into it.  It is just that I am one of those people that want to make sure that something I download will not mess up my computer.

If you use Firefox jazzymjr you can right click on the button and do a save as.  That function does not work in Internet Explorer though, and I don't think it has anything to do with the way WinCustomize is set up, I think it is just IE itself that is the problem.

That is strange, I have always been able to do a right click "save as" until I started using the new site (When I had no choice but to use it).  And I have IE 8 with Windows 7.  The last file I downloaded (prior to today) was on 4-19-10...a windowblind.

Guess I should have checked another site in IE8 jazzymjr, you're right, it works on other sites, just not here at the new WC.

Thanks Lightstar for verifying for me that this is a bug with the site, not IE!

Now, if we could just get someone from Stardock to see this and address the issue...that would be nice.

This being a weekend, you will have to wait until Monday morning for Stardock to 'see this'.

That is all well and good, Hankers, but my original post on this was on Wednesday, May 19, Post #324.  And no one from Stardock replied.

That is fine and dandy Hankers, but the point is what the public sees on WC should be more important right now than the internal workings and projects at Stardock.  Without the public being 'appeased' so to speak there could/would be no Stardock, and I imagine the state of the site right now is definitely not good for business.  One would think that getting the site perfect first would be a higher priority IMO.

Okay...this is getting ridiculous!  I posted my issue back on May 19, and it is now June1, with no response from Kestral or whoever is supposed to be monitoring this thread for issues.

Is anyone ever going to acknowledge my issue and at least let me know if this issue is going to be fixed or not?

I don't know if this will be fixed for IE, it's not really a priority issue considering other things that we are working on.  You can save the skins with IE by setting the browser to download files to a certain location and not automatically open them.

Alternatively, Firefox and Chrome "save as" works fine.

I DO have IE set to save all downloads to a specific folder, but that does not work with windowblinds...they get automatically installed, leaving me without a wba file to check to make sure nothing is being downloaded with the file.  And that leaves me open to the possibility of getting viruses, malware, etc. 

Well, at least I have an answer to my question....IE is not gonna have the save as option any more.  I'm not a happy camper, but I guess I just have to deal with it.  I guess if I want to download a blind, I will have to contact the author and see if he/she has the blind uploaded to another site where I can download it from, since the "save as" option works in IE on all other sites but this one.

Doesn't CTRL + Click work on IE ? Also I have 'Open, Save, Cancel' when I click on the button. IE8 + Win 7.
