Server errors?-=OR=- Why I can't even read the comments on my uploads!

Saturday, July 13, 2002 by Kelly Dickson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

OK guys, what's the deal? I've been trying to get into the different skin sections for two nights now, and always come up with a mis-spelled server error...lol. This is what I get "Error: Server to busy" First of all I just thought that the misuse of the word "to" was funny, but this is getting annoying! I can't even view the comments on the new wallpapers I've uploaded! And another thing...The last wallpaper I uploaded was accepted but it was put way down on the list where it never even showed up on the list on the front page for newest editions. There's no rating or anything and this is the only wallpaper I can see! What's the deal? Is it just me? or are other people here having the same? I'm not a subscriber, but from what I've heard contributers didn't have download limits. Do wallpapers not count like WB skins? or is this something totally different? Or am I just a raving lunatic? lol....I'd just like to know what's going on. Thanks

Kelly, I've seen your wallpaper moonglow. It hasn't been rated yet. I'll let someone know.

thanks I appreciate it, it's just that I can't even see the new ones myself, ratings aren't important to me, I just wish for my work to be seen, I don't care if you hate it, like it, or love it. I guess I'm kinda insecure in a way..lol.

It probably won't be until the morning because of the time, but I know the man will fix it. I think you have 5 walls up. You can see the other four? If you type in moonglow and select author, you can bring it up.

I read in an earlier post that ya'll would be restricting people's access to the wallpapers section during periods of heavy traffic. If so, is that why I can't access that area? And if THAT is is the case, let me say this. I only upload wallpapers. I don't know how to make all those cool skins for WB or Icons or even Winamp skins. I design Wallpapers. And most of the time that's the only reason I come here. Sure, I've downloaded a lot of WB skins in the past....most of the time for re-installs because I was too stupid to back things up (words of the wise: always back-up your files, you never know when an connector pin on your HDD will break...lol!). I rarely change the WB theme that I use (Blue Interceptor is an excellent skin!) but I go through Wallpapers like 4 times a day...lol. Since I can get into almost any other section while online, I'm assuming my access has been restricted. Now listen. I know that bandwidth costs money. If I had any extra (I make minimum wage working at a movie rental store) I would gladly subscribe just to help ya'll out. But I can't. I also can't get online till after 10:00 pm CST because I'm on dail up and I only have one phone line. Yes, this is probably the peak hours of traffic here, but if I'm coming here to get wallpapers (because as the caption reads: "the finest collection of wallpapers on the net") and I can't even look at the ones that I myself uploaded to this site....well then....what's the point?

Kelly, I don't know why you would be having trouble seeing the wallpaper section. I don't think it's been closed for bandwidth reasons for many months. Also, if you hit the download limit (100Mb) I believe you get a real specific message telling you that's what happened.

Try sending an email to T-Man about the problem, he can fix (or break) anything...
