Please take a look, I was given a 5 for something i belive is way better than the others for the same WB. Maybe im wrong. Please let me know what you think? here is mine https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=3467 compared to https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=3458 and https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=3463 give me a break!!!!!!!
No offence to Leo the Lion but check this out https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=3468 an 8 for something we have all seen a million times.

I understand, but I also see others doing so, and still posted.

Again, Is it because it's (JUST) ScreenShots
and yes, if everyone thinks that it is a waste of space, Remove It
There's a poll for you

| Public requests for ratings and comments are commonly referred to as 'spamming' and frowned upon.It's surprising just who considers it appropriate to trawl for ratings and/or comments....but it's decidedly 'not cricket' [as the English would say]... |

Yours was a straight request for ratings....which is a little different to the other two links which request advice.
Screnshots are intended to show 'arrangements' and/or works in progress....not the same kettle of fish as walls or icons which are intended for distribution for practical use by others....

Ok, I'll shut up now,
Jafo, you must of been on the debate team or something
As always, your right.
I also agree with others on here about removing SS's and Litestep and replacing with Rainlendar and Trillian Skins
We can see SS's on the users Info
p.s. can we delete this whole thread after you read it?
Thanks

ok this is kind of off topic but I think the view/dl is not accurate at all. When i want to view a ss i just click at the thumb instead of "Zoom" and i believe the only time it increases is when I click Zoom down at the bottom. I might be wrong

LiteSTEP won't be going anywhere....it has an important place in many skinners' careers/development, being one of the oldest and most popular full shell replacements, and Windowblinds in particular complements it perfectly...

Doesn't make any difference "zoom" and the thumbnail are the same link.

OK....come back to it in an hour or so....and see if it's count is updated.
The database refreshes more frequently for some things than others, I believe...

Does this mean that more people are viewing SS's than stated? Confused

Meyend Tripp, I believe that is exactly what is happening. If you go back a couple of years you can see how many counts a screenshot had back then and now days a ss only gets 20 at the most if it's a good one. Of course everyone will say they are only screenshots and it's true, but to me it still is one of my favorite places on the site. Too bad also by showing only the rated 8 or higher ss some people are being discouraged to submit them.

I liked uploading them until Jafo pointed out that it is mostly for upcoming skins or what-not. All I have to offer is putting older skins together.
I really believe to save space for WC that they should remove it, since we can upload our Desktop to our profile.
Trillion or Rainlendar would probably be better for the site.
Had fun while it lasted though.

zzo38computer...yes, quite often the 'best', or what one perceives as the 'best' is often in the middle, rather than on top....possibly due to its attracting more ratings than the odd one which shows a '10' because only one or two people actually rated it.
What is 'best' is a personal taste issue anyway, where hopefully enough posted ratings will show a popular opinion of its 'worth'...
