im not complaining either ...but still...
Tuesday, November 1, 2011 by Vampothika | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
truly not complaining here, but i really want to know why for the top skinners list, the numbers dont change accuratley.
for example, i got 10 thousand downloads yesterday, and yet when it is updated, my overall downloads for everything only show 4 thousand extra??
can this be fixed somehow? its really disheartening to see all of these downloads lost to a glitch or whatever you guys call it.
thanks

There is a glitch, has been for a long time, download count showing for yesterday is not actually just yesterday, it for some reason of wrongness
is actually the last 2 to 3 days worth of downloads.

How many downloads you get (and how many are showing in certain places) is irrelevant to anything except one's ego, what is more important is that you, and the people who downloaded, are happy with what you made.

I think you are a great skinner and a wonderful person but that response is just the company line. WC is what it is.

I guess that depends on the person and how many downloads you lose per day, if 6 thousand of your downloads dissapeared, you would probably ask the same question.....
and from this point of view, ego has nothing to do with it...just in case you were wondering.........

I would be just as happy if no one ever saw how many downloads I got on a skin (like the way Master skins are). I would be just as happy if there were no ranking on the right side of the site for who is in the top of whatever catagory. It simply is not important. Download count accuracy is needed only on master skins, because that is dealing with money, and no one sees the download count on those except the skin creator anyway.
As long as I am satisfied that I did the best I could on a skin, and the people getting it like it as well, then I am a happy gal.

Working at Stardock now Cyndie? hmm.. Hey, could you put in a good word for me there, seems like I haven't received any promotions or prizes for my dl's! wtf?

That presupposes the 10,000 is correct and the 4000 is wrong.
The converse is likely correct...

is actually the last 2 to 3 days worth of downloads.
This really make sense, as the "Last 30 Days" downloads count always seemed to me accurate, but certainly couldn't be 30 times the "Yesterday" count !
finally I got the answer, many thanks Cavan1 !

Quoting Xiandi, reply 9 It simply is not important.
oh, by the way, when are we getting that new Legend category?
Yeah, like you'll ever make that.....

sooo in that case, can it be fixed Jafo?

Last I recall it was an anomaly due to the complexity of the Stardock/Wincustomize site 'architecture' - multiple servers, etc. It takes time for the counts to synchronize and thus be accurate...

So... this glitch in the system explains why my download count is 0?
