Need a couple volunteers
Tuesday, May 28, 2002 by T-Man | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm looking for a couple volunteers to help me test some of the new acess levels.
I need a few people who use different accounts to purchase software from stardock as they do to logon to Wincustomize. With those accounts I would like some people who have purchased anything from Stardock and some who have purchased the Skin Browser. And last criteria, I would prefer citizens and apprentices.

Ahhh T-Man, after rereading your original post I think I might know what I did wrong. The first line of your post says:
"I need a few people who use different accounts to purchase software from stardock as they do to logon to Wincustomize."
Now that I have re-read it I realize that I use the same email account for both.
However, this leads me to my next question:
How do I change my level to reflect the fact that I have purchased all those Stardock products and the WinCustomize subscription???

My expierence with this has good and bad news.
Good news: I am an ODNT, CursorXP, Drengin, and Wincustomize subscriber. When I was cross-referenced my level was set to 4.
Bad news: I sign into Wincustomize using SkinBrowser. I first went to WinCustomize (before executing the email link) using IE and the top right of the page said "Welcome Citizen C-Rat", when I executed the link in the email, I was presented a page saying that I had to first sign into WinCustomize or create an account to view the page I was attempting to. When I signed in again I was presented the page displaying my new level.
All in all it worked for me but was not perfect....
Hope the feedback helps.

Tried it C-Rat's way. Didn't work.
Looks like this isn't going to be resolved any time soon.
Oh well, I've gone this long with level 2 status, I suppose I can last a little longer.

Hmm, looks like I have a bit to look at. Must eat lunch first. After I have replenished my fuel system I should be able to make more sense out of all this.

Chef Garry - I guess Cross Reference may not be the best term as it is only unidirectional. To get both accounts at the same level Reference your Shaw account to Sait first. Then Reference Sait to Shaw.
Grog - You only get a level 4 if you have purchased a WinCustomize Subscription.
Jim - Did you get the access you expected?
Motion - It appears that you have multiple accounts with the same email. It only looked at one of those accounts which was not linked to your purchases. I made some code changes that should pickup the other account now. So if you will try it again it should work. Let me know if it does.
C-Rat - Thanks. I made some changes where that shouldn't happen again.

T-Man - it seems to have self-corrected. I just checked my profile (shaw account, the one I use) and it now shows a level 4. All is well.

worked perfectly for me 
Of course, I don't really fit in your "criteria", but it worked (as I assumed it would)

T-Man, yep sure did, followed the directions that you outlined. Want me to try it again? Everything that I have with Stardock and Wincustomize has used the same E-Mail since Wincusto went on line.

Hi T-Man.
I tried it again. For a while I kept getting the old "The Page Can Not Be Displayed" page. Finally I got the WinCustomize page but once again it said that I was Level 2.
Don't know what to try next.

Grog and Motion,
Please try again. I made some more changes to handle multiple accounts that have the same email address.

T-Man,
Just got home and gave it another shot, and it still is comming up level 3. The Upgrade/Serial number script on the Stardock site returns the expected message with all the Stardock products that I have, and the Wincusto Subscription for Skin Browser. So I have no Idea where the glitch is.

Hey Fuzzy,
I just looked at your account and with the email address you have given there is no Skin Browser tied to that account. Are you sure you used the correct email?
