and who have I pissed off/on now.
Saturday, February 19, 2011 by gmc2 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just uploaded a blind which had sufficient downloads to be included on "yesterday's most popular" but it isn't.
this isn't the first time and since I don't hear any muttering in the background I assume that this may be happening only to me, so yes, I'm beginning to take this a little personal.

When a DB server chucks a wobbly and gets kicked back into line it'll be out of kilter with all the others who were innocently minding their own business and plodding on regardless.....
It won't be uncommon to see statistics all arse-about...eg something may have more downloads/hits than another but shows lower in a list.
Sooner or later it all gets resynched.... and generally no deaths are reported [and any bodies are hidden]....
Not so much a 'bug' as it is a 'bugger'...
I spent all yesterday trying to DL a game I'd purchased....wasn't huge...600meg....so many times it got to 100% then totally disappeared. Even tried it via Virtual Machine....still no luck. [Nothing to do with SD though.... Third Wire]. It clearly was a server drama...as I eventually succeeded overnight.
It happens...

You have such a way with words...lol!! Not sure what that means, but it made me giggle.

Technically, everything is trivial. Since in the end, nothing really matters!

So seriously, I heard this happens with ratings but does this also happen to download numbers?
not that important but not trivial in the least however if it isn't accurate why have it at all. (like your triorbs btw)

I'm a subscriber... and I'm a contributor (not now as much as I used to be), but I don't think I've ever even viewed the most popular section. I just come here for the people, and the cool skins, and that's that. I don't care which are most popular, or if mine is on the list... I look at everything, and I use what I like.

I need to clarify what I meant in my post in regards to the word ignore. I didn't mean that I believed the WC staff was ignoring the bugs. What I meant was that as a skinner, it's hard to ignore bugs--to "just enjoy, and skin to skin" -- because at least in my experience, creating a skin is all about working out the bugs; once they're noticed, it turns into a compulsion to fix them. I would want someone to point out my errors so I can correct them.
