What do you want fixed on WinCustomize?
Monday, November 16, 2015 by T-Man | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi All,
For those of you who do not know me, I'm a developer here at Stardock. Actually one of the original developers of WinCustomize.com.
As you have seen, WinCustomize has not had many updates recently. So, I'm looking to try and clean things up a little bit here. Starting out by fixing a few things. So, I'm asking you, what issues on WinCustomize have really been bugging you that you would like to have fixed?

I agree that the search and other things are important and should be a priority but....bland is not good, unless you like bland.

I agree with your statement however I will take function over form any day. A pig with makeup is still a pig. That being said we should be able to have both.

All good suggestions! Keep'm coming. However, at this time I do not see any major changes to the design or look of the site. But I can definitely look at fixing or tweaking some of those issues.
I, like JC, would love to see both...but it's just not in the cards.

I still think IPB would take a whole lot of mess from the forums.

Well, if they did it's broke, when you try a spell check, all you get is a popup saying "Error response: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> "

If I misspell a word in the reply box, it gets underlined in red. A right click on the word gives me the correct or suggested spelling and other options. I'm using IE11/Win7
So, I guess it's working for me.

Well, given the state of some posts, the spellchecker clearly doesn't work for everyone ![]()

Why when I click on the Forum it Refreshes a second time quickly allowing any PM's to
go away or just stopping you from doing anything till it does refresh ..
Just me or are other having the problem ?
Can that be fixed ?

Like it loads the page then goes blank and comes back after a bit. I thought it was my browser. Been happening for a while.

Would that not be the built in spell checker with IE? I have that too with Firefox but for me spell checker is an add on. I may have lost a few to many brain cells 30 years ago but I am not getting the spell checker for the site comment. Every browser either has one or one can be added.

A functional spell-checker would certainly save me the job .....
