Skin Upload Problem
Friday, May 11, 2012 by AzDude | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
The Last 2 times i uploaded skins ( Wallpaper & Logon )
when I submit it and then go back and click on it to check it
to make sure I got the spelling right etc. etc.
It opens up the Gallery for that item and NOT the skin
so I can't double check it before you get it for approval ...
Once they were approved , then when I clicked on them the
skins opened up like normal ... on the skin and not the gallery ...
I tried 4 different browsers and the same thing on all happens
Anyone else having this problem ?
Got a Fix for this WC ?

It sounds like this was a side effect of an update we pushed yesterday. We're looking into it now.

when i submit a skin and it's not approved and i click on it
I get the Gallery for that skin not the skin
Once it's approved and click on the skin I get the Skin
and not the Gallery
I can't show a link because you would just see the Gallery
for that skin - this just started happening in the last few days ... very odd
never did this before
This just happened again today on 2 skins i submitted
The Skins still get submitted OK and get approved and posted OK
and then all works as it should after approval ..
but it's an odd buggy thing that's weird -
No one else having the same problem ?

We pushed a site update yesterday to fix a skin exploit and other issues. You can't view or download a skin until it's approved by a moderator.
We're not going to change that as people have been abusing the skin ratings and other things.

Looks like we've figured out what happened, though we may not be able to push an update until Monday. Until then, you'll need to soldier on, but it should be fixed by then.

I will mention though one last thing ..
sometimes when i upload a larger skin ( file size )
it doesn`t show a file size , so i have to re-upload it a 2nd time
and then it does show the file size
sometimes a moderator will tell me no file size showing
that i must re-submit
So now we won't be able to see if a file size is showing
this could be a problem , maybe ?
causing skins to have to be re-submitted ?
Just thinking ahead here , that's all
Thanks WC

If there is a problem with the upload, we will notify you. Until approved, you can't view or rate skins anymore.

Alright, we're going to tweak it so the skin author can check their own skin but nobody else until approved.

This WC is some place. Always doing what they can to fix or help the members along with the members helping each other. If you couild only roll my age back a bit that would be great, say 10 years but keep me retired.
