Question

While getting skins is definitely faster through the WinCustomize Browser, it's quicker to access the message board through my web browser.
Why the difference?

A way to speed it up:
I noticed that the message viewer in the WC Browser basically loads the message inside of a web page. It would be quicker to just download the text and have the WC Browser format it.
Essentially what I would like is for it to be like how I access newsgroups in Outlook Express. I especially would like being able to do subthreads so as to easily keep track of which posts are in reponse to which other posts.

Your solution would indeed make this all faster.
I think that "The Folks" are trying to keep a unified theme going with the message board, the news section and the Wincusto site, since you can access all three from within the SB

Heck with a unified theme, that's for the web interface, for the software I want pure speed.
As for all those cool emoticons, I did those with text for close to a decade before anyone started substituting them with graphics.

I'm just twiddling my thumbs for a while until my skin is approved. It's the first skin I've publicly released so I want to read the comments on it before I release my next one.
Back to the subject of the WC Browser: I was under the impression that the 1.0 version was free for everyone in addition to having a second version for subscribers. However, my free version now says (Evaluation Day 2: of 30). PS, I have twice tried to subscribe to WC, but Stardock won't accept my card even though every other store does *shrugs and throws hands up with helpless look on face*.

although the message board here is really really fast (as long as there is nothing else 'web-related' is happening on my box at the same time)
