Update: WinCustomize/Stardock Downtime
Wednesday, September 11, 2013 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Yesterday we performed some server maintenance during which that time many Stardock services were not available. Situations occurred where this downtime was extended beyond the estimated time and our team were working tirelessly to get everything back up and running.
All sites and services are back. If you are still seeing any issues like broken images please do a hard refresh on your browser a few times and try again. If problems persist, please post in this thread only so we can investigate further.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and appreciate your patience.

I did not realize how attached I was to this site until yesterday when I tried to connect and got a 404 error on every page. Was lonely feeling. Glad you got things fixed, and I think, quickly also. Thanks to all who worked so hard.

Thanks Stardock, I got the 404 error so I just visited other sites and when I came back you were online again. Good stuff!

Not to complain, since I don't know what the maintenance was for, but the 'search' option is still severely broken. I like to use it when I want to find matching Rainlendars, docks, etc., and it's pretty hit and miss. Sometimes, nothing will come up at all and I use Google to find it, which refers me back to the page on WC where the skin is.
Don't know if you all are aware of this or not or if it is something that just isn't a priority...just thought I'd mention it.

We love you guys!
Also for anyone interested in what we're doing...
Spoilers...
Ok, it's not very interesting but we're moving our server arrays to SSDs. The old servers are like circa 2006 hard drives.

So, ultimately, this should make the site load faster, etc.?

Thanks for all the hard work, guys!!! 
And just what is an SSD?

You don't know how much you love something until you lose it.

Yes,the search engine WC has implemented is unusable. The end result is worse than Google's.

The old search function was faster, easier to use and yeilded far better results, imho.

What search engine are you referring to? The skin search has not changed.
