Sites?
Tuesday, September 25, 2012 by DPCloud | Discussion: Community
When I try to go to peoples sites through their profile I’m taken to the WinCutomize home page. The only other way I know is through the galleries which means I can only view 1 page. I tried to raid Kitty’s stuff last night, 1 page…needless to say I was disappointed, is there another way? Thanks.

i have a personal page
but you might not return......muahha!!!!! hahah!!

ID this is what should IMO be linked to when Clicking a skinners name.. http://islanddog.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx If a skinner dont have a personal page then possibly. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/all/pagesize/30/view/list/author/islanddog Rather than the current Recent skins list which only shows a few skins. Tho I think having the skins List with "thumbs" would be a better Idea. As the average user shouldn't have to jump thru hoops to find a skinners gallery..
Intuitive navigation is the key to a user friendly site. Folks come for skins, they should be able to find them relatively easily.

The point of it going to a profile like this https://www.wincustomize.com/users/673228/islanddog, is because that offers basic info about the person including their recent skins.
I don't think two clicks is jumping through many hoops.

Being able to view a gallery is much better than viewing the list. With the gallery you have the option to view only windowblinds or wallpapers, plus you’re viewing thumbs which is a lot faster, the list doesn’t even tell you what the skin is and if you’re dealing with a skinner who has multiple pages which most do then it becomes very time consuming.

Ok I get what your saying. But I think the "(skinners name) Skins" Link on the right side of the profile should link to a thumbed gallery page, instead of the List view page. Sure you can edit the view settings to tiles. but really the tiled view IMO should be the default.
Also the skinners Forum Profile would be nice to have a Link to the skinners gallery. From the forum Profile page there is no link to access the skinners gallery.

Showing skins easily at a skinning site should be core functionality.

Exactly the point I was trying to get across. It should be simple and straight forward to view any skinners gallery. No one wants a list, they want to see previews of the skin. (All of them, not just one page)

I suspect I'm already on some shit list...so I'll just say it. Having links to the skins people create should go without having to say it and not just a list...its a skinning site for crying out loud. We don't do all this work just for ourselves...we also do it to support the site...despite what some may think.

Amen!

Having said that, you're off my list.
Nicely said, Steve.

I just wanted to say thanks to those responsible for fixing the Wincustomize site link on our profile pages.

Wow something is wrong I click RedneckDude's name and no menu like there used to be. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, it's really jacked up now! No clicking on names, no quotes and no edit!

I'll see why the forum profiles aren't linking to there though.
