some updates:
I'm still working on a work around for the functionality of the My Skins list. I estimate it being ready to go on Monday, so far I'm making the view show how many comments are on a skin, along with download totals all time and for the day, along with update date and rating. Do people really want me to try and squeeze on the referral numbers too? If so I might have to cut some other info.
Also I had a solution worked out for saving your viewing preferences that was similar to the old site, however, because the filter/gallery view is so different in structure from the old site I need to re-visit it (IE it didn't make any sense). I'm going to just make it so whenever you change the view on any gallery it will save those settings across visits until you change them again or clear your cookies. This is going to take a bit longer, but again hopefully will be done by monday. The primary things I was going to save as for 'preferences' were just the number of skins per page as the other options are often specific to different views. I could maybe put in an option you could opt into in your settings to override all that and save tile/list view and sorting in your cookies as well. Would people be happy with just a number of skins per page being saved?
There was an issue with large files (over 4mb) being uploaded, this has been fixed and you should have no problems with larger files now.
We are also working on the issue of Journeymen having to have their skins approved currently, along with whatever happened with the two skins seeming to get merged in some weird way.
We are also working on a master skin sales report.
Some notes for things people have posted:
I.R. Braniac: looking into the paging on most popular sorting, this must have popped up as we fixed something else.
People with issues of skins not showing up on personal pages: if you are talking about your old personal page, IE user.wincustomize.com (which still exists but are a holdover from the old site), the images there for new skins will not show as they are different sizes. If they are not showing up in all gallery view its probably because they haven't been approved yet, also it sometimes takes a little time for the previews to be copied over to the image server (so wait a bit and try refreshing). If none of this applies to your problems then please give some details on what you were uploading and we will look into it further. Good questions to answer are what kind of file was the preview? how big is it? what's the library the skin is going into? how big is the skin? what's the name? ect...
gmc2: To your issue of things not showing up in IE8, there is no flash or third party cookies. It could still be something in your settings (particularly if you are blocking some javascript), I'm guessing there is something in your IE, either a setting or an add-on that is interfering with your view. Especially since it is working for you in other browsers.
Gizmos: I clicked that link you posted (it actually happens to have been the skin I tested with in the first place, small world) and the link seems to forward for me fine in chrome, firefox and IE8. What browser are you using? Also what is the url it dumps you on when it 404's? I will look into the comment e-mail issue.
For people asking about settings, you can still modify some settings through the forums (click My account), is there anything aside from the default page size that people are missing from that menu that isn't covered in forum options either?

I'm using firefox...and that link from that skin to SKOrignial skin still isn't working.
More bugs and some still existing ones are: While in the forums...when clicking on "Explore" the custom gallery settings are not being saved and anything I click on brings up and error page. http://www.mediafire.com/?tznhyf2zm4y This error page is the same one I get no matter what I click on in the new site...it always brings that one up.
And an existing bug is that in "My gallery" the last 8 uploads are not showing any previews. http://webgizmos.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx
Basically the only settings that are being saved are the custom gallery settings on the "Explore" dropdown on the main page. And the dropdown itself does not go away unless I click on another part of the page. I've even had 2 dropdowns opened at one time. It would be nice if the dropdown only opened when clicked on rather them moused over...it gets very annoying dropping down all the time and not going away.

I'm bummed, I have no idea. not blocking Java and the only suspect add-on would be IE7 Pro, disabling that has no affect.

Upload problem. Put all the text in than go to the Skin Upload Browse button, click on it and nothing happens. I see there have been other problems with uploading and than they finally went through. I click on the browse button and it does nothing for me.

Referals aren't that important to me personally, just to know when new comments are added, counts and ratings are fine.![]()

Yes....referrals are pretty useless. Most of them take you to email links and other places you cannot go anyway. In fact the links that worked the most just brought me back to the WC site. I only click on those when I'm bored.

Actually, I've found my skins at Warez sites, with the referrals, but it's your site, so it's your call. ![]()
Reply #71 Thursday, April 22, 2010 10:26 PM
Yes...there was that as well...chinese...japanese and russian sites also.

I just updated the descriptions on 2 skins, fixing the bad formatting, and it sent them both to moderation..... ![]()

I can't understand a few things.
1) This took more than a year to do? Just out of interest, how long does it take to make a website?
2) If I turned in homework or a report like this, I wouldn't show up at home until after the next report card.
3) Why does it take so long to load? That was a problem in the old website. Wasn't this new site supposed to fix that with fewer "data calls"?
4) This is supposed to be a solution for all the unfixable bugs in the old site.
5) Seems to me that the old site had easier navigation and better speed and fewer bugs, even at it's worst.
Sorry for the rant. I really miss the old site. I feel things were a lot better there, at least at this point.

when clicking on Category and check Dock Backgrounds only
My newest dock (It's a Name) is not their.
But when I have nothing checked in cat. it is their
{BUG-3} note this could be counted as 3 & 4 but just 3
My name Don't have my title of Apprentice any more even though
the old site I had to change it every time I log-on. and the new I can't find the settings tab to fix it.
{BUG-4}
When clicking on my name at the top it takes me to my site ok good
but NO Tab or drop down to just see EXAMPLE(s): wallpapers, dock etc. don't know about anyone els but when I go to there page (site) I like to be able to see just what I want to.
{BUG-5} this one is when the NOTES from above come to play
The old site when I was in, lets say Objectdock I would open (by right clicking) in a new tab several tabs 10, 20 etc. (but I will just use 4 as EXAMPLES) so opening 4 tabs to look at the docks when CLICKING (NOT right click) on the picture to see it in it's glory FF would open it in a new tab (#5) and take me to it (the picture) so when I was done seeing it I would just have to close the new tab #5 and it (FF) was so, so kind as to take me back the the tab I was on (Now that was so F@#king SWEET) IE was/is too dumb to do this and so is the NEW WINCUSTOMIZE site they MESSED UP my sweet FF and now to see the picture with out hitting the back button I have to RICK CLICK on the picture to open it in a new tab oh, my the labor I have to do... PLEASE, PLEASE PUT IT BACK THE WAY FF WAS and no you can't tell me it's a FF thing I Wont can't will not no way believe you as, to it is JUST NOW doing it like IE on the new site.
{BUG-9}
Don't know about all but when in ObjectDock 60 per page
we start at the top as we should as for it is loading it as
LAST UP DATED but when I get to the bottom and hit the next page
and it loads I am still at the bottom of the next page it's set to show
LAST UP DATED so it should take you back to the top
ANU WORD ON THESE?

You have no idea what I have went through to correct this problem, but to give you a hint, it did involve two system restores.
AND FINALLY; flash disabled = problem, flash enabled = NO problem

what is the status of accessing our "my settings" page???
Reply #78 Friday, April 23, 2010 10:18 AM
Not sure if its a bug or not but...It would be nice if you set to view 60 in one library that its remembers that and carries over to all the libraries instead of going back to 9.

[Request]
Since "Recent Post" is the most popular (you added it to the top bar), how about putting it in the Forums "drop down menu".
If I'm in the galleries, to get to the recent posts, I either have to go to the front page or go to the forums and "then" click on it.
Would be appreciated.

What is the latest with My Site? A recent upload shows no thumb in the profile page or the gallery page, only the infamous blue question mark.
