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?

Well, given the state of some posts, the spellchecker clearly doesn't work for everyone
Its due to the faulty spellchecker engine that Stardock built into the website - its called Jafocheck. It was designed in 1954 by a Aussie guy after he drank 15 pints of lager and was using a voice recorder to record his slurred words.............

I checked my profile. Do you know I'm currently offline and that I was last active on March 24 2014. I think there are a few things other than search or spell checker that need some serious TLC.

Yes, that's been broken forever.
At one time, you could look at the bottom of the Forums page and see who was online. It would be nice to see that back as well.
sViz even made a widget that used that data to show this on the desktop. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/desktopx_widgets/1214/
Also, being able to add friends like back on Impulse would be cool. There used to be a list for them on our personal page.

Those are old personal pages that were discontinued years ago.

That is not really a good answer because I had that page at one time. At least in my case it was deleted not discontinued and some still have it so why do some still have it while others don't. I like the way that page looks and it gives specific details about who we are here such as a ranking and our skins.

I totally agree!

I don't have an exact answer. Those were discontinued many years ago, and I assume some have been deleted in the process. Any remaining are just legacy and not something that's worth removing completely at this time.
I like the personal pages, and I tried to get people to use them but most wouldn't so they made no sense to continue when WC was updated at one time.

I understand you said there will be no major changes to the site and how it will look.
How about a small change that would make WC pop out when people came to visit. Look at the Galactic Civilizations page. https://forums.galciv3.com/
Imagine what that would look like with the boring Blue you see on all the WC pages. The actual information page size is the same as WC and just the background is different which makes this site pop out, stand out, whatever you want to call it. That to me doesn't look like a major change. Especially if it was only done for the main page, as even the would be nice.

Well that sucks. I don't think some should have been deleted while others were not. I used that page and would have found out my last promotion a lot sooner if I still had it. By the way you say years ago but I think it was only 3 or 4 years ago that I had that page which technically is years ago but not ancient. Anyway besides LightStar I seem to be the only one that cares about it so I guess it is not likely to ever return.
I think the personal page should be brought back , I for one find very useful keeping track of all my skins and
it allows me to refer others to download more from the same category with links - a lot of useful info for skinners.
I still have the personal page but some options to make changes in it are gone.
One thought here maybe My Personal Page could be included as part of Object Desktop ( My Downloads ) , or sold separately
for a small fee ( one-time only fee ) for those Skinners who want it - it would be nice for them to have the option .
For me it's something that WinCustomize offered that no other site gives you , just another reason to keep coming back as a member ( skinner ).
