My girlfriend has wanted me to duplicate most of the ScreenShots that she liked.
I don't know, maybe I thought others did the same.

These are the words posted at screen shots, if you didn't mean it you shouldn't have started it.
I thought the screen shot section was still not back because of the crash.
It was one of my favorite places to go also, I agree with diafragma, If it wasn't popular why was there 2342 ss submitted.
There were a lot of well put together desktops there by Phrozen, diafragma, SS Goto and others, also a lot of Original Rainy's and Object Docks made by them. It gave you a lot of ideas of how to use some of the other programs and made you want to download them.
The people that posted them would also share them with you if asked, and many friendships were made. I will miss it, because it is not what it used to be...it is broken.

One more time....
Limits are placed on what is visible to reduce server load.
For those who are still unaware, Stardock/Wincustomize lost 2 servers....they died....they are extinct....they are ex-servers.
This is a temporary measure.
There is a subscription drive on currently to assist in purchasing their replacements.
When this is completed normal programming will be resumed.
It is unfortunate that some works/uploads may be less available/visible, but it is equally, if not MORE unfortunate that 2 servers need to be replaced....
Now, if something as comparatively 'trivial' as viewing stats for screenshots is a casualty of the current dramas well take it on the chin, stiff upper lip, and tough it out till life as we know it is restored.
To bellyache yet again is tedious in the extreme.....
Patience, folks, patience....

This is the conundrum: Ratings aren't always given fairly so as of right now they don't speak for the best either.

Idea: Give a title to 5 different Subscribers that can only Rate for each section.
As often as I visit the site, I for one can rate each one of the SS's section...... less abuse if you put the rating into people of trust.
Meyend Tripp raises hand to be one of the Rating ones

Meyend Tripp....it's darn noble of you to start a thread slighting those who rate screenshots [in this case] and by post #70 have determined that you should be the one to wield supreme power over all who would want to rate and become THE rater.
That's a bit presumptuous, don't you think?
The ratings may not match your opinion, however that in no way detracts from their validity, or the competence of those who are doing the rating.
Trust is earned, generally it's a product of time and experience. Self-promotion is an elongated word/phrase for ego....in other words - worthless...

Or could be considered, a more public form of "Self - flagellation"

. Now I have to decide if I have the courage to look to see if I did get a rating. I get to look at the SS and see what other people are thinking and doing with the same material I have on my computer.
