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?

What I'd like on WinCustomize is a set of categories that are more useful. Fro instance, if I wish to search for a dark skin, icon set, etc, I have to hope the author has used that word in the title. It would be nice to have categories that are relevant to what people want to search for. Surely I'm not the only one who would like to search by colour? I realise no one wants to go through all the skins, etc and apply categorical descriptions, but it would be nice. It might be interesting, in lieu of that, to check the search statistics to see which categories people actually use. I can't imagine too many people are searching for the 2004 GUI championships stuff, but I may well be wrong.
Some of the categories aren't massively useful either. When searching for an Icon Packager set, one of the categories is 'things'. What does that mean? Is that useful?
Even searching by category is a bit odd. I drop down the category list, tick what I want and then... well, there's no button. I have to then drop down the 'Explore filters' thing and hit the 'apply' button in there.

I've haven't received a recent report of ratings not working. You'd have to be more specific about what browser you are using, any ad-blockers, etc.

The ratings don't work - all my skins should have a 10 on them and they don't...

Damn, just hit the 11 year mark a couple of weeks ago, member since 6 Nov 2004
Back to the personal page question, if my memory serves me correctly we used to have a comment section and a member of the community took exception to something and began leaving disparaging remarks. First the comment section was elimated and then the personal page was discontinued. As I say, this is what I remember, I could be wrong.
Oops, looks like some of us have hijacked this thread, shame on us.

Not following you. Do you mean the comment section was on the personal page? if so a simple block member feature would take care of them commenting on the personal page. No need to eliminate something good because of someones comments.

Yes, the personal page did have a comments section. When there was a promotion in the community you could always go to their personal page, if they made one, and give the a personal congratulation on their promotion.

I see, I don't remember the comment section but then again you are talking to someone who does not know his age half the time and the other half gets it wrong.

Anyway besides LightStar I seem to be the only one that cares about it so I guess it is not likely to ever return.
You might want to check comment #39.
OK, I missed those replies. Good to know there are others that want it.
