Have a question for you.... I ahve a skin pack i created for rainlendar, as you may remember i kinda had a little voting thing on it in th forums... i have tried to upload it, but everytime i do (which has been about 20 times now
), and all i get is the server or pages not being found when i click the submit button.... is there a size limit or something, or is there some other problem.... before you ask, no i haven't changed anything in regards to preparing my uploads, this has been the first time i have had this problem..... Thanks

Lynx's Den all the site admins/wizops actually 'care' about Wincustomize. It's a prerequisite of becoming an admin/wizop.
Unfortunately, when attempting to handle the complexities of a site with over 1.7 million members....it is often a fine balancing act to please them all...or at least the majority of them.
Often things may give an impression of 'preferential treatment' or similar...but that is simply down to differences in perception, not reality.
A perfect example...to use butch123 as an example, [sorry butch...
], while many people [including me] were 'concerned' about his very frequent uploading of screenshots it did not stop me from continuing to approve them for display as it was not a significant issue in the true nature of things. Likewise, butch had misunderstood about the rules of consent receipt with regards to the posting/distribution of ports ....but after the typical to-ing and fro-ing of emails it was sorted...so his port uploads were allowed.
Once the 'requirements' are resolved these works must unfortunately run the gauntlet of public scrutiny...and some 'may' attract criticism, and/or low ratings.
Provided the 'criticism' does not cross boundaries of common decency...and the ratings applied are not invidiously unfair, or a serial attack on a user's gallery then they remain.
If any member has issue/s with ratings and/or comments they are free to contact an admin for scrutiny.
Most sites do not afford you that respect, leaving you to the mercy of the vindictive.
Sure, people leave for all sorts of reasons...and they also return as frequently. This is just 'net reality'. Usually it is just 'real life' [tm]....but if it's through genuinely unfair 'attack' the admins can, and often do resolve it to the betterment of all...

),But i am willing to take another shot (kinda reluctantly), but i'm willing, I love what i do, and i am always willing to learn and take whatever kind of critusizum, and not to bost or sound conseeded i feel my work is just as good as anyones, and can admit with some help of fellow skinners i have even improved quite a bit.... and i just feel that it would be a shame that because of some issues that in my opinion could use some tweaking, or even immproved, that wouldn't be shared, showed, and commented on (either bad or good, which doesn't bother me), on a site that with issues aside, i like, I wouldn't of become a subscriber if i didn't.
and trust me you don't have to tell me about how it is when you run or are and admin of a site, who's member base is in the millions, been there done thatas an Admin. a couple of time

when you get a chance could you help out on my rainy upload issue (If You Can)?
really would like to upload this one
Reply #30 Sunday, January 16, 2005 9:10 PM
Fixed...I think...
I'm not sure what your upload problem is...I don't think there is a size limit...but it may be the usual issue with non-alpha-numeric naming....even possibly the apostrophe in your nick.
What are the exact file and screenshot names?
Reply #31 Sunday, January 16, 2005 9:19 PM
The names are Demyes(LDE)Color and then the item name (Bg, Todo, Message, ect.)
The Ins file is: Demyes(LDE)RL Color (Blue-Chrome, Red-Black ect.)
and note never had this problem before..... with the uploading...

When I read your message it is a mirror of what my complaints are. I feel pretty much the same way you do. All the points you make are valid to myself and certainly a lot of other members here which I am sure of.Well, seeing you are back I may give it another chance and hopefully things will improve. Time will tell.

I would suggest you contact T-Man (pford at stardock dot com), the site programmer, if your file is huge. He's individually solved these problems before.
