Well MadIce, I can see that if this is a new system, all downloads are not being counted. Even in the expanded top download section everything isn't being reflected by download count. Looks to me like ithey are using some form of date cutoff and not officially counting everything. Just a guess.

I love your speculations, WOM. Just hold your breath for a little while longer, mr Journeyman.

It seems they are testing a special routine to favor your skins, WOM.

Moremgil's DLs went up because his skin was featured in skincast.
Previously skincast downloads didn't count which was a bit of a bummer for the skin author since it actually robbed them of a lot of downloads.
The skincast download changes pretty regularly, it's base don the most recently featured WB skin here.

Mike, Skincast is the featured WindowBlind that is in the WindowBlind list in the appearance tab of Display Properties. It might be in the main WindowBlind Dialog itself, I don't know 
. Any way, on the list you will see SkinCast. When you click on it a little window will open showing a pic of the featured WindowBlind. Choose to apply it and it will do just that.
elvee sometimes feel he can over explain things

Hey, it did that to me too yesterday! At first I thought it was me, but when I did some test posts I realized that somehow the board was turning apostrophes into quotes.

Skincast I found. Right click on your desktop and select appearances. Then look an your windowblinds and it will be listed at the top of the list.
Yesterday I was led to believe because Mormegil was on the skincast that was why he had twice the count everyone else had, even though everyone else's count was lower than what they had.
Yesterday Zero was skincast and he had about 600 downloads on his skin and he isn't listed on the top authors list.
So I ask again what is going on, how are the totals being derived.
Adni,when I went to bed 10:30 CST last night here was what I saw:
Adni 4600
Starone 3600
Mormegil 3200
I'am not comlpaining, just trying to figure out this new system which no one wants to explain. But I can see hou it will change daily if all downloads arn't counted.

The method is not final yet. Things are being tested out. Skincast was first included, then seeing that it was favoring way too much the featured skin, it was then removed. I suggest you ignore the top author's list for a few days, until something final is decided upon.
