some peeps are having issues downloading wildstar wb, the file isnt there for them to download, despite me reuploading it just the other day.

And your preview isn't showing when you click on it from the library.

Why are Journeyman uploads having to be moderated with the new site? On my page some of my new images aren't showing either. Lots of bugs to work out here!

Thanks to whoever kicked the site and got the login working again!   I didn't have to do anything...came to the site and was already logged in!

I just uploaded a Logon XP logon and at first the preview was there , then it diaappeared. Also the file size for the original preview was 803KB 1440x900 and won't let me select the entire pic, so I changed it to a 1280x960 and it took. Why- these are way under 2MB??? Same prob as redneckeddude.

Forums and the new WC site are really separate.

 

While unfortunately that is true in the case of WinCustomize ID, it should not be.  Forums should be integrated into a site seamlessly, there should be no need to do something extra or different just because you are in the forums.

Forums are "integrated" into the site, however, the new site bugs and the forum issues are typically handled by different devs, hence the reason I posted.

think it has to do with the handprint (thunbnail) sizing. when clicked upon to expand, the whole preview is shown. something else to get use to. did you get a sizing window when you uploaded?

just been into 'My Skins' page for first time....  think this is really a page that needed to be left alone...

 

don't need that stuff on the right hand side....it's elsewhere if we want it...

Author    ? ....well...it's 'MY' Skins....so that's a waste of space column...

Gallery  .....well that was well taken care of previously with icons.......so waste of space there...

Last Updated ....can be obtained from the uploaded gallery page...so more waste of space columns...

Ratings......doesn't need to be the stars..numbers are fine....so can reduce space there...

....and give us back Comments....and Referrals.... 

also....the tick for new comments is not showing...

I'm actually beginning to wonder if the designers ever actually had a go at using this site....to get a user's point of view of what we need.. 

many new features I like...but this page misses badly...

 

....and I've had a sex change in my Profile page... [e digicons]:karma:[/e]

 

Edit....please give us back Comments....Individual downloads....Overall downloads.......new comments tick.......referrals can be given the flick....

Seems to me that the old site had easier navigation and better speed and fewer bugs, even at it's worst.

Agree!

I don't agree at all. If the Forums were "Integrated" you wouldn't have to log into each one separately.

Integrated: organized or structured so that constituent units function cooperatively or combining or coordinating separate elements so as to provide a harmonious, interrelated whole:

Believe me I understand the amount of work that has been put into making the new site but if there are different people involved in making the new site and getting it to work than they need to get together more often and work in a straight line. I also think to many things are trying to get completed to quickly and without a plan as to what will get fixed next and get fixed correctly.

Just my 5 cents worth.

I must say I logged into the main site and was actually logged into the 'forums. Doesn't happen all the time but did this time. Usually the case right after you do or say something the opposite.

In the "Views" department...I keep ticking the 60 per page and when I go to another site it is gone. Should there be a a box to tick on the My Account page so that it will be done automatically?

Yup...just checked this once useful page out...now it's as useless as tits on a guy.  

All the most used information is gone...comments count...individual downloads...overall downloads...ratings (in numbers). Referrals were useless to me since they mostly led to some email account or some rip site or right back here to WC...so no loss there for me anyways.

Everything that's on there now I can get by just going to the submission itself. Epic fail on that one guys...not very well thought out.

And based on the downloads I see now on the new site as opposed to the old one....traffic seems to have dropped off...or people can't find things as easily as they once could. I know you guys said navigation was going to be better...but it's not nearly as easy to find things as it once was...and I even "know" where things are...after some hunting of course.

Even the forums seems to have lost traffic.

....and I've had a sex change in my Profile page...

Pics! We want pics!

Better get rid of mine then   oh and, about that formerly useful page, couldn't agree more, def. needs some tlc.

As far as the rest of your post, unfortunately, it's pretty much dead on as far as I can see.

Btw, i REAAALLY miss not having the recent posts list on the side of the page.

Any updates on when the personal pages will be available? For a subscriber perk, I would think we would get some priority in being able to access the features we use most. As of now one cannot access the settings or much of anything else for that matter. Know you are aware of all this, just an estimate on when we might see our stuff back. Thanking you in advance!

alot of things still arent working, most stuff i click on turns out to be something totally opposite.

i also want the notifications of new comments on skins back PLEASE, otherwise how are we meant to know if a new comment has been made other than email (and im not watching every skin) so its almost impossible.

 

can we also please lose the drop down list when you click on forums? its extremly annoying, i dont find a list of the 'latest' posts very helpful, id rather just do my own seaerching for what i want to see ect.

Ditto the comments about 'My Skins' - really would like to be able to see a new comments flag.

Also - Master skins sales. It's something essential as it's kinda a contract between the master skinner and Stardock, so we need to be able to track sales.

 

Thanks.
