Site issues
Wednesday, October 1, 2003 by KarmaGirl | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Stardock is in the midst of moving WinCustomize to new servers in a new location which has higher bandwidth piped into it. (Yes, WC is getting more powerful servers *and* more bandwidth). This will cause some disruptions. Please contain the issues that you see to this one thread so that we can address them as they happen. Please be patient during this time as this is not a simple task.

You don't get any e-mail or any other word if they are rejected.

| I had two wallpapers waiting approval, but now they have just disappeared from "my skins." No email and the wallpapers arent posted. Is this trouble part of the move? Thanks |

I think that this thread was made to deal with the site issues of last week during the server transfer.
It has now turned into everyones issues with the site.

I cant seem to download windowblinds skins, every time i download them, it causes an error and has to send an error report so i dont get them. Is this an issue with the site changing, or is it my fault? They were working before. thanx.

I too am having the same problem as belinda wallis. Before reading this post I uninstalled and reinstalled Window Blinds thinking the problem was me. I have also gotten message saying "This file does not contain a .uis file. Are you sure it is a Window Blinds skin?" Other times I get the error with the error report and have only gotten one skin to install and it was Doublet. Is this due to changes being made?

I have never gotten an error message like that. Although as with doublet i got an error report when trying to download it, then they sent it to me via email (wich is very nice i must say), and it workes fine. Just cant seem 2 get any skins at all not even old ones.

belinda wallis, try this. I found this post on another category and it seems to be working.
"If the skin you are downloading was uploaded incorrectly, it will crash Windowblinds. What happens is they put the .WBA inside a ZIP, then upload the ZIP. The server then renames the ZIP to .WBA and what you end up with is a WBA inside a WBA and it will crash wbload.exe. Try save the skin to disk, then rename .wba to .zip."

Also, keep in mind that after you rename it you have to double click on the renamed file and it will automaticly install the skin. Then you can delete the renamed file.

Pacific: You are right I think. All of the sudden, I have only one of my skins on that list and I had like, 4 a week ago. Im sure I have more than 24 d/l on my higest skin yesterday. Bizarre. You were always, like two places higher than I was.

I can't update my settings either. I want more skins displayed and the left side redone too. And I want to make my skin ratings shown lower it's at 4 for some reason.

The 'Edit Account' does not work. After I make the changes I want and click on 'Update', It gives me an error page.
