Just remember a constructive comment is worth 10 one-word comments any day

How can someone get the rating back on a skin when it is taken offline and updated.
The users have raised a skin of mine to 9 and if I update it with the start menu panel backgrounds it will go back to a 6 when the monitor puts it back on-line.

I never leave one word comments...
I've been writing comments on skins all day (50+ comments) and I don't think a single one was just a one word comment

Sally, I had the same problem myself. I had a skin rated 8 that dropped to 5 when I updated. Too bad the rating doesn't carryover like the number of downloads does.

hmmm... the rating doesn't carry over when someone updates their skin? surely that must be a bug?
What if you had 15 people rate your work, and you just updated to include an single extra icon or fix some little speck on a wallpaper... it then erases all those ratings? and goes back to 5? sounds like a bug to me, I can't see it being designed that way?

It doesn't automatically go back to 5. What I think is that the old ratings are wiped out and the new rating is whatever the moderator thought of your skin.
I wish one of the Wizops would answer this one.

When new skins are posted, they have no rating. A moderator must give it a rating when they approve it. Updated skins appear in the same que as new ones, so it's possible that a moderator gave it a rating out of habit, without realizing that it already had been posted and rated. This is not necessarily what happened in this case, but it is a possibility. I know there is no automatic mechanism that would change a skin's rating when it is updated. Which skin was it, Sally?

I want to update the skin Ctrl D World but it has a rating of 9 and seems the moderator is stuck on 6.
I did update it once before to fix a few bugs and it dropped from 8 to 6 and now it is up to 9. Quandary, update and drop the rating or keep the 9.
IMO There should be a rating curve for those that can't afford Photoshop which gives an edge to making graphics. How many 10 rated skins are made w/o Photoshop?

Sorry to reopen this question but I too have wondered about rating... or even seeing the rating of other skins? I am a level 3 user through the purchase of stardock products however I am unable to rate or even see ratings other then the ratings on my skins.
Thank you for any info that you can give.

Sally... using PSP is not a disadvantage. I wish I could find some of Doodle's old work to show you what can be accomplished with PSP. His work was amazing. Many of his skins looked as if he crafted them with a 3D editor, but all done with PSP.
So quit worring that you don't have PS, and concentrate on what you do have.
btw.........does anyone know what happen to Doodle?
