Libraries back up, restoration begins
Wednesday, November 26, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
The libraries are back up. So here's where we're at:
We're going to ship the archive to California to be installed but that will take some time to do.
In the meantime, everyone who uploaded a skin after October 1 will be receiving an email letting them know how to quick update them. Authors who resubmit their post-October 1 skins will automatically have their skin date updated as if they were new (our way of thanking authors for doing them).
Also, anyone with Apprentice access or higher can also help authors and the community out by submitting missing skins too (screenshot will still be needed). Here's how you do that: Go to the file library and you will see which skins are missing by the special missing skin thumbnail. There will be a [Help Update] link there. We'll be keeping track of who helps the most and sending out T-shirts for Christmas to some of the top helpers as a token of our and the community's appreciation. Note: Do NOT try to submit missing skins using the usual "upload" mechanism. Do it from the Help Update system or from the link you (as an author) received in email.
By working together, we may actually be able to have reasonably up to date libraries by Thanksgiving! 
Thank you for all your help! Have fun!

No, just go to the library, and when you see a missing file it says [Help Update].

If we're going to send something through "help update", do we need to send a screenshot too? Confused.

I went to the Dock icons and to "help update" and I get "ERROR TEST1 You are not authorized to view this page ".
Should I just wait a bit?

Quick question...2 of my skins (from before Oct.1) show the missing skins graphics, can/should I update those as well?
Thanks again!

If you had an upload that was waiting moderation you will need to upload your item again as we have clear the database of those records since we do not have the files to go with them.
