I find it highly annoying what is going on in the screenshot section. >

I'd second that thought ... If I want to post a shot I'll do it on the message board.

| Just a thought, but what about renaming it the WIP section and limit it to such? |

Put a limit, one a week/one a month, whatever, and reject those that don't comply with the proper acknowledgements and links. That should speed up the process for the Mods and the section won't become over crowded.

I'm guilty of putting 'thanks to all the authors' myself. I'll be more direct in the descriptions from now on.

wouldnt hurt for the whole section to be a rotating one .Dump the lot every month,nix the stats.Or limit the whole section to 300 entries.Or limit each person on a 10ss max rotation.(the last idea is tha best I think)

From someone who puts A LOT of time into making a stupid simple screenshot, the one thing that urks me is people who simply apply a WB skin, wallpaper and icons...capture it and upload it. Now, I know not everyone likes to modify perfectly working skins, so they just upload whatever it is they like. Not letting them do that is simply unfair. What I think would improve the screenshot section is MORE moderation, just like the wallpaper section. Notice how everyone tries a bit harder, and appreciates it more if their wallpaper gets accepted? Moderation might make the people who take screenshots be more aware, and try a bit harder...
My two cents...if they are relevant or not.

Please don't count my ss in the last year 
I have slowed down to about one a day, though. And now I am only submitting a ss if I made the wall, so it takes a bit more time. The better I get at PSP9, it will probably be a week between SS. I totlally agree with naming the authors or the skin names, though. I don't even look at "Super's" shots any more.
Sorry if my shots were annoying the admins in the past. I was bored.

i put all author names and links on the screenshots i submitted because i feel it is only fair if the authors get some respect for the work they did and the effort they put into making what ever they made... this provides them with some credit and possibly even a couple more downloads if someone likes the combo... i am however guilty of submitting more than one in a day.. but those three where the only ss that i submitted so

I think some authority should write an email to stop that.

It would b alright if it was the authors original work,(like original walls with current or past WB's) but not these SS's that are already in the WB section.And some people go overboard on SS's should make it a max 2 a day!

I'm not very fond of Spam but I do like spinach. Heck, I even like liver and onions.

Sleeping Dragon,at least you read this thread and are willing to listen. 
At first when I saw something of mine being used in a ss I was flattered,until I realised they were only using it for a couple of hours...if that.
Which gives me an idea.......wouldnt it be neat if winCustomize had a way of finding out which skins were being used rather than just dl'd?A cookie perhaps?

I stopped eating spinach after I found out that I didn’t get 'instantly' strong after eating them as Popeye did. But I welcome a well done liver stake with onions any time

What are we, Cookie-Monsters? >
I agree with you IR. I don’t find the meaning or sense of changing your desktop every other hour. I usually like to enjoy the look of my desktop for a week or so before I change it (unless I’m using one of my skins, then I'll leave it a bit longer )

changing my desktop takes alot of time for me because I have to have everything to match or recolor things my self. I have been making some of my own object dock plus tabs still new at it but some come out ok. I like the screen shots when people add there own things to it like a calender etc etc
