Oil, you need to cross referrence your accounts. You are still on the server for visitors and guests of user level 2 or below (people who have not purchased a product or contributed enough to get their status raised). I was not able to locate any other records under the email address or name that you login with, so I am not able to give you any other assistance. There is info about cross referrencing in our faq, and your "edit account" (at the top of WC) has that function built in.

Obviously, that is *your* rumor, since there are *no* current plans for 5 (Besides, we'd do a 4.5 first, anyway 
)

Due to high traffic the site is currently dedicating its resources to
customers who have either purchased a WinCustomize Subscription
or any Stardock product.
Tired of getting a "server too busy" error.

There you go. They want more money from me. I just got home and got on this website to browse and this message came back, so I cut and pasted it on here. Is this site that broke where you have to pay to browse it? What does wincustomize do with all their money?
In reponse to cute little KarmaGirl: I used a different email address when subscribing to WB4 than I have to log on here. I still don't understand why you have to pay to browse this website. I can see paying to use windowblinds or other programs from here, but to browse this site looking for additional themes. It makes no sense. The addon makers on here do not get paid for their work, why must I pay to download their work after I have paid for windowblinds? It's paid with aftertax dollars, so their should be no tax on the face amount.

*Note that it says or. You do not need to buy the Wincustomize subscription.

If you will cross-reference your account, as KarmaGirl suggested, you'll be on a different server, and your problem will be solved. Yes, your wife is correct.......... you complain too much, before you get the facts straight. And buying a subscription, is not paying to download skins. The subscriptions are to help pay for the astronomical bandwidth costs, and also gets you on the better server. But once again, you don't have to subscribe, cross reference your account with the email address you used to purchase WB.

That is obvious, and that is why my response started with "you need to cross reference your accounts". That is what the cross reference feature is for: to cross reference two email addresses (one that you log in with and one that you purchased with). There are two servers- one feeds paying customers and those who contribute to the site, the other for access level 2 and below. Please use the cross reference feature before posting about this again as you obviously haven't done it yet since you are still at a "2". If you logically look at this- how else would we know that the person that is logging in with one name and email address is the same person who registered with a different name and email address?

Sheesh, edit your account already so the email used here matches the email you used when purchasing WB: https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?cmd=CrossRef and poof! no more problem.
