Cleared history, cookies, etc. Rebooted. No joy. Still off. Even changed browsers twice. Time to take my advice about patience.

Sorry, but patience I have no more now until someone completely fixes this site. Same issue again this morning: Wallpapers - Paddy Day (FREE DOWNLOAD) | WinCustomize.com
If anyone wants to get my wallpapers or WB's you can go here: LightStar Design – OS Customization Designs
I will not be uploading anything here until all these problems are fixed. My recommendation... design a completely new site, transfer all files and then activate the new site.
Sorry, I just can't put up with these problems anymore. ![]()

Yes, it is there now Doc, I edited and uploaded the screenshot again, but now it is not showing on the home page.
Oh gee, now it's on the home page, but not showing the screenshot correctly, not showing the area I selected.

By editing it, you put in the queue I moderate, and removed it from the home page, etc. That's the normal way the site/Gallery function for any edit of a skin already displayed in the Gallery.
I pushed it through.

Keeping on eye on this, we are in the middle of some large upgrades for our infra and moving things around
We have been doing some DNS updates as our IP Addresses are changing in our data center.
Some of our changes include using Cloudflare for our DNS routing. It is possible that some of these issues with viewing/and uploading may be related to that. Unfortunately I am not seeing these problems.

Jan, before he edited his submission, it was showing just fine, although he couldn't see it. I've pushed it through. It's back up and should get to the home page soon. The site/gallery are functioning correctly. I think it's a browser issue. I could be wrong, though. Anyway all's copacetic. Time and patience should resolve all, hopefully the smilies, too.
Folks, let's let the dust settle. If you can, hold submissions for 24 hrs. while things shake out.

Thanks for everyone's patience. I think I have cleaned up issues for:
- Smiles/Digicons not showing
- Forum Images not showing
- Logins failing
- 100MB+ uploads
Let me know if there is any outstanding or new issues that I should be aware of.

So...if I'm understanding you correctly...we don't have to be patient anymore?
"Thank you" yet again, T-Man.
