Thank you.

People are just expressing their opinions guys, that's all.  

Which, of course, is the problem.

That's a little unfair. The time difference in making a dream and making a skin seems to be a wide margin. Maybe upping the quality requirement for submitting a dream would be more appropriate if what everyone else has mentioned regarding dream quality?

Yeah, you're getting old...hehe..

RND has never complained about over uploading. RND has been accused of over uploading/flooding the gallery plenty of times. Never complained about anyone doing it.

Giz used to get a thorn in his groin about my uploading too many DX items. But I always adhered to the rule of 5 skins per day, per gallery.

In this thread, I have not complained about over uploading. I have made a statement of my opinion on Dream quality.

**EDIT**   Oops, I misread you, WOM. You didn't say I complained, you said was complained about.  Still, I am not/have not complained about the volume of any uploads....ever.    

WOM, I'm getting old too, so I understand...lol.

WinCustomize.com used to be known as THE place to get QUALITY work.  It does seem that the quality standards have dropped. Not only in the dream gallery either.

Just opining here.....

I do realize I'm a tad off topic. My apologies.....

Wow. Ok...my last words on this and then I won't bring it up again...ever

If I myself was uploading to much at some point...no one ever said a word to me about it. If they had I would have had no problem with that and would have backed off...no problem.

As far anyone else uploading to much at one time...I asked them nicely and directly to slow down or use another method so everyone...not just a few...gets a chance in the spotlight.

As far as being elitist? I do not think of myself as being special or elite...I just try to support the site which is what I'd tried to do since day one.

I really don't understand why it's so difficult to give just a little consideration to other skinners...people that take time to create what they do and not just slap something together. As I've said...I will see what was just uploaded and give at least a day before uploading anything I have. As if now I have 4 themes I could upload but haven't yet...they've been sitting here for days now. I was also going to update older themes but those will go straight to the gallery.

And the galleries...the galleries are great...but no that many people actually visit the galleries that often...I don't even think most people know they exist. Whenever anything I've done is on the front page or being featured is the only time I see people have downloaded it...after that it's crickets.

This whole thing was about being considerate. Just a simple thing...which got turned around...again.

Data says otherwise.

The main page gets the most pageviews for obvious reasons, it's linked from lots of places.  

One would assume the next biggest area of the site visited would be the main explore page.

I would think so too, but it's not even in the top 10.  People visit the galleries a few ways.  Either directly linked from inside the app, direct link, or via site navigation.  People are hitting the main galleries most often, so don't assume all is lost once a skin leaves the "front" page.

Thanks Spencer...I stand corrected then

"it's just ten seconds, so it's fair use because i say so" completely ignores that the most important criteria for fair use is purpose/context.

please resist to use the "it's art, everything a person creates is art" argument. it's as much art as this forum post is literature and as much art as getting out of bed is sports.

it's lame as fcuk and you know it. after all you wouldn't allow the same junk in the wallpaper category. 

anyways, this has zero impact on my life, so no hard feelings. besides that there's not really a need to be concerned about the presence of skins on the front page. that part of the site is eliminated by adblockers anyways.

Thanks for the support..... 

you guys might want to hide the AdblockPlus icon from the Chrome omnibar when you take screenshots next time

Space after the link = link works.            

hm, i think i did that. maybe Android or Yandex.Browser strip trailing whitespace while posting. 

would be worth a suggestion for that WC2014 thread to change the regular expression that looks for links, so it matches with the end of the string as well. could be done in less than a minute when you know where that regular expression is.

I just hit the enter key to make the link. Works every time.

line break, carriage return, space, etc. are all whitespace (\s). it's just poor coding to use an insufficient regular expression.

i can't think of any other website that would require hitting an additional key as it doesn't match a link that ends at the end of the string ($).

To many forums on how there are too many of this or that!

Quit crying and get skinning.IMO.
